Was lucky enough to be invited to the show last night by a buddy who won tickets. It was a great show. My first time actually seeing SP. I really enjoyed it and you really couldn't top seeing them in that small of a venue. Seemed like they were in really good spirits and enjoying themselves.

I have had the opportunity to see the original band at small clubs like Bogarts and at the Metro.

Those were awesome experiences. Glad you got to see them at a small place.

New track, ‘Solara’...
It’s actually not that bad.

https://youtu.be/rx9ya42QLXs

This new track is okay...not the "return" to form" I was expecting (audio sounds very dry). I really liked Oceania (2012), but did not care for Momuments to an Elegy (2014). I saw the Pumpkins play with Garbage back in 1995 and it was a great show! But that was 20+ years ago and we can't expect artists to be 27yo forever.

I'm gonna hope for the best, but expect the worst on this new album. But I'm excited to hear what they'll come out with!

The Pumpkins played a house party and apparently got shut down due to noise complaints.

31 songs, impressive. 16 days till I see them, looking forward to it.

I was there. Absolutely fantastic show. Band sounded great and really tight. It was almost exactly a 3 hour show. The song selection was top notch too (I won't say much about this if you want to be surprised, but we all know how to find setlists if we want to see them. ). Stage setup was really cool and there are some really cool visuals to go along with the show. There were also a couple odd (IMO) pre-recorded video bits that left me scratching my head as to why in the world they exist, but I just ended up chocking it up to "because Billy Corgan". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Being the first night of the tour there were very few hiccups for a show that's so intricate with it's stage design. It will be interesting to follow the tour as it continues to see if the set changes or tightens up a bit.

Ultimately, if you like the Pumpkins, you'll love the show. I'd recommend knowing as little as possible about the show going in, it will make the surprises that much better. I'm happy to tell you more about it, but also don't want to give too much away.

drakeheuer14 · July 2018

Damn, guess I have to make it to the Atlanta show. Was hoping it wouldnt be as good as you made it sound!

Was it packed, did it wind up selling out? I'm sure with the overwhelming positive reviews that I have seen today it will spike the sales for the remainder of the tour.

Anyone know if they’ve got any posters? I saw a Houston one floating around on twitter, and I think I see a tour one in the above merch pic, but I’m not sure. If anyone was at the show on Thursday, or is going tonight in Oklahoma, let me know!

I wish I was going to one of these shows - that setlist looks fantastic! I'll have to stick with two PJ shows in Seattle over one Smashing Pumpkins one. Wish they'd made a stop in Vancouver while in the area.

I wish they didn't rely on covers (other than Landslide). They have a deep catalog of songs that fans i 2018 want to hear. No need to sully the set with a cliched hit of another band.

Other bands could stand to learn this too (PJ, DMB).

if you are gonna cover a song, go deep and pull something that people may not know.
