I am so stoked to be going to see Smashing Pumpkins in a small venue tonight. I can't believe they're playing The Ogden here in Denver. I gotta pace myself, I'm already prepared to get my drink on and it's not even noon yet.
one foot in the door
the other foot in the gutter
sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother

    The sound was a little muddy but I was impressed. The crowd was bigger than I expected as well.

    That happened to me in Vancouver last year.  The show was selling slow and I swear more than half the tickets were still up for sale when I looked a few days before the show.   I was pretty shocked to see a mostly full NHL/NBA sized arena full of pumpkins fans.  I didn't think I'd really see that again, it was pretty cool.  Thoroughly enjoyed my first pumpkins show in 25 years, good time was had :)

    Just curious how many people are aiming to watch the stream tonight (I am, lol), or to make the rest of us jealous will be attending in person?

    I will be watching tonight. I also went to zuzus on Friday to check out the Tower Records pop up. It was cool and I bought a shirt. I’m a sucker for easy merch.  I’ve been to a few of Billy’s solo shows at zuzus and I have no doubt that this will be awesome.  The price tag was just a bit too steep for me right now. Looking forward to it.

    Nice!  I'm starting to think I need to make a pilgrimage from Toronto to ZuZu's, lol! I caught a couple streams from the popup and it looked like fun, lol.

    haha I thought the same thing at the Vancouver show last year, he was struggling with a cold, but still seemed to be happy.   I guess like many people he mellowed with age.

    Are these the shows without Jimmy/James? 

    EDIT: I think it is, this should be interesting.

    Yes. I actually don’t expect a ton of billy. Just hoping for some really cool reworking of the strings and some visuals to go with them. The opera house is the best sounding venue in Chicago IMO.

    yeah, I get the impression its mainly the orchestra and opera singers. I'm sure Billy may perform a bit, but I think its more Lyric based performances.

    This is what I’m hoping for actually, and some cool merch along with it.

    Tried getting tix to Boston show, carted regular face value tix many times but they magically disappeared as is want to happen with Ticketmaster. Only the $666.00 meet and greet (met him for free years ago through a radio contest, not paying a devilish amount to do it again) or $228.00 VIP merch tix available. I would have paid the $86 face, but not these prices. Will keep an eye out for face value tix as June gets closer as I doubt the meet and greet tix will all sell.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    This is what I'm worried about. Got front row tix in the presale but they were $250 each.  Great if he is singing the whole album, not worth it to me if it's just instrumental.
    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)

    so I take it you live in the area? been wanting to get some of the archival releases, but the vinyl is crazy expensive, especially with the exchange and duty, etc. The cd versions are sold out on the website, but are they available in store?

    I do live in Chicago, zuzus is in highland park. About 20 miles away from me. I go about twice a year. I can’t remember if they have CD’s in stock or not. Plenty of vinyl for sure. It’s a cool place.
