    Um...I would go as long as the tickets aren't too expensive
    I'm probably going to pick up some cheap seats for Detroit.

    No way...Billy Corgan is too full of himself
    I was able to pull great seats for Columbus when the sale opened but I'm not spending $300.00 to see them(Sec 107 Row D).  Even $69 each for upper deck is more than I'm willing to spend on this band.

    $125 + fees for the good seats ($147). Hard pass.

    I am the target audience for this reunion tour and I am pretty meh. Saw them in 1996, 2006  and that was enough. Row 7 tickets are still available for my hometown show in Vegas, so looking forward to getting the Groupon invite!

    Sure....if someone gave me tickets
    Out of my circle of people I've talked to about it, I'm the only one that has a remote interest in going.   I saw the perform once at a Lollapalooza (94?) and once in early '97 on the Mellon Collie tour.   They were both pretty damn good shows.

    Problem is that I still remember my interest in the Pumpkins waning when Adore came out.  It had some decent songs but I never enjoyed as much as the first four albums (counting Pisces Iscariot, which I love).  It was diminishing returns after that.

    I was originally superstoked about the reunion when it sounded like it would be the whole band.    I know it's only he bass player missing, but instead of a reunion it sort of feels like a continuation of where the band left off in it's waning years...

    If they were actually playing Vancouver and someone asked me if I wanted to go, I'd probably go.   Problem is that's never going to happen, and I don't feel strongly to organize a group of people to go.

    I agree with the sentiment Corgan should of gone for smaller venues to start off this venture ..
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    No, but not for the reason you stated:

    I saw them once in '94, and they just weren't good. Maybe it was an off night for them, but they sucked hard.

    I like some of their songs, but not enough to get me back to one of their shows.


    I have to agree.  Saw them in 96 or 97 in my concert going heyday.  But of all the bands that were touring then, I thought they were one of the worst ones live.  They just seemed sloppy and a few jams went on way to long! And Billy didn't seem to give a shit about singing the songs any where near how the records sounded. However Siamese Dream is one of the great albums of the 90's.
