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!
damn, set the controls must have been epic! :drool:
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.
Gossamer has got to be one of their best songs of all time... 99 Floors... ****.. their next album is going to be straight fire!
a lot of the new stuff is on the dvd that came out tuesday.
