anyone else go to the pumpkins show in CT?? brendan and i had pretty good seats on the floor. we made it down to 7th row and then 4th row for encore. saw adrian and davepeck post show and then hung out with peaches after he got outta work.

igot to hear almost everything ive been waiting 12+ years for between this show and the 1st night in NY. mellon collie thru bodies was a ridiculous chunk of music and they just didnt wanna stop between songs so they all flowed into the next. gossamer scared everyone away on the floor who was just there for the casino and we got move and see them up pretty close. I enjoyed this more than anything i have seen a long time.

setlist:
I Am One Part 2, Soma, Tarantula, G.L.O.W. > I Of The Mourning, Mayonaise, Tonight Tonight, Song For A Son, United States, 99 Floors* > Owata, Landslide, Disarm, Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness** > Today > Cherub Rock > Zero > Bodies, Gossamer > The Sounds Of Silence > Lil Red Riding Hood > Heavy Metal Machine > Karn Evil 9 teaser > White Rabbit teaser > Heavy Metal Machine > Glass\'s Theme

Encore: Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun^

* with Billy on harmonica.
** horns, keys, and violin only.
^ typany solo by Billy.

Was Bodies the Sex Pistols song, or do they have one by that name as well? I don\'t really know the Pumpkins at all.

Looks like you had fun - that\'s one hell of a setlist!

I can see where someone would be able to find Corgan a little pretentious and full of himself, but that doesn\'t negate that he comes up with some decent music. I\'ll take a listen to this show when it pops up on archive.org.

i dont even see how someone could review this show without mentioning soma, song for a son, and 99 floors. those were my highlights along with set the controls and i of the mourning.

looks like this review is just based on looking just at the setlist and copying all the bad reviews that all the other people who dont like live music wrote. pumpkins fans would have killed to see them play shows like these when jimmy was out of the band from 96-99 or when they were on hiatus for 6 1/2 years.

What a terrible review. Guy doesn\'t even say WHAT his issue is with the show, just that it was bad. Poor writing.

ChrisF · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2008, 06:09:16 pm »

pumpkins = the best most hated band ever

bdfreetuna · « **Reply #14 on:** November 17, 2008, 06:27:52 pm »

Seriously you think Breakfast gets ragged on once in a while. Go check Netphoria SP forums... people are pissed on this tour!!

Why? Because the setlist isn\'t :::

Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today > Bullet with Butterfly Wings > Today

E: Today

....

seriously. I could not imagine a better SP show, ever.

Oh yeah Chris I definitely plan on grabbing that DVD asap. Torrents were nada last night maybe I\'ll end up buying it
