seriously. I could not imagine a better SP show, ever.
maybe if they played stellar, ruby, or starla. but im not complaining
Oh yeah Chris I definitely plan on grabbing that DVD asap. Torrents were nada last night maybe I\'ll end up buying it 
well worth the money. comes in a nice package. im surprised its not $30+
^^
Unfortunately their hettie new t-shirts were $35 bucks at the merch area!
I guess it all evens out. Well, it would, had I bought one instead of loudly suggesting a ceiling price on all T-Shirts of $20.
pumpkins = the best most hated band ever
totally.
lots of talk on smashingpumpkins.com (which has been newly redesigned) about weeding out the fans who all they do is bash and never have anything constructive to say. we\'ll see how it goes. there\'s always gonna be those smashing pumpkins fans who only want to hear the old hits, but billy\'s made it abundantly clear that he\'s not about to turn this band into a nostalgia act. good for him. this band\'s got legs and they\'re going to be stretched far so long as billy and the crew continue writing great tunes, which so far has been the case: the hare march, song for a son, owata, 99 floors, gossamer, as rome burns = some good stuff that\'s only going to get better as it\'s played more often.
i\'m beyond elated that this band is back on the road. i hope they do a smaller venue run next time around.
SHOULD be going tomorrow night. I have my fingers crossed that my co-worker\'s first child isn\'t born tomorrow, because then I\'ll be pouring
**** drinks all night. I\'m looking forward to the possibilities. Chi-town homecoming show 3. First Friday night Pumpkins in Chicago in jesus-h forever!
Listening to a live Song for a Son now... I love this stuff
for the record, i thought the mohegan show was fantastic. though due to circumstances beyond my control, i didn\'t see the whole thing, and got there during 99 Floors. the crowd BLEW, but the band was great. i thought Gossamer was amazing, and Bodies was definitely unexpected. not a fan of MCIS on horns though.
I haven\'t listened to Zeitgeist much at all until very, very recently (like in the last few days). It\'s great. Surprised at how good it is actually.

What the
**** is the deal with the crowd? Weird.
the "crowd" (as a whole), wants to hear the hits. and though many of them were played at this show, any break from that, and god forbid any *gasp* experimentation, is unacceptable.
i think there\'s a lot of "weeding out" being done this tour, and i\'m completely fine with it. get rid of the d-bags who just want to hear 1979, and play smaller venues next time around. i can\'t wait.
