They have way more songs in their repertoire than you'd expect. ;)/> They've been rehearsing since mid-April.

Monte is going, which means Monte is taping. I had a change of plans, my car blew up. No 1400 mile road trip for me. Another time, Chicago friends!

[BitterRootOfSelf]

Sorry about your car! Do you happen to have a ticket you can sell? My friend in Chicago is dying to go. PM Me if you do, thanks.

[dreamover]

my cat is undergoing emergency surgery today, costing upwards of $3000. i won't be able to attend the pumpkins show due to his recovery, and i need to get rid of the tickets. pretty quick too. they are hard tickets, and i'd be happy to meet up with someone in chicago today. i'm a bit short on the cost of the surgery, so i'd definitely like to get a fair price for the tickets. if you are interested, please email me at dreamover [at] gmail [dot] com. there are 2 (TWO) tickets.

[dreamover]

just wanted to let everyone know, my two tickets are gone. it breaks my heart i can't attend the show, but i'm happy to report my kitty is doing well and i am picking him up today from the hospital.

enjoy the show everyone!

[soVerysadAboutyou]

After the excitement of listening to Oceania I went ahead and bought a ticket off of craigslist. Can't wait til Thursday! Anyone think they'll play Oceania start to finish for the first time?

[Leikela4]

I'll be driving in from Columbus, Ohio for the show. My ticket says 8... is that doors or is that when things actually get started? Gotta plan my 6 hour drive. :)/>


(also, hello! I used to post here nearly a decade ago but just reregistered.)

[amu1167]

More tickets were just released if you still want them!

And it looks like they are all gone. Ugh!!!! I was ready and willing to make the 5 hour drive. This is like evil torture to release tickets this late in the ballgame.

No they won't. It's only a 75 min set too

How many bands are playing prior to the Pumpkins set? I'm trying to nail down the time they plan to go on also. I would be cutting it close driving from Iowa. At best, I could make it into Chicago by 10:00-10:30. That seems like a risky proposition for me.

[vescret]

anybody record this?

[MonkeyPumpkin]

There's a few videos that have been uploaded onto Youtube if you do some searches. Looks like it was a good show, good audience etc. Does anyone know what the full set list was though?

A video i recorded from up front... no big deal... http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/board_new/public/style_emoticons/default/liz.gif

On another note, during Muzzle Billy broke the A string on his guitar mid-song.. He recovered like a pro, ripping out the string right after and finishing the song, sounding like nothing happened.. but as the song was finishing up he was apparently pissed and throws his guitar at the side of mikes drums and storms off stage!! pretty sure his Signature White Strat, the one with the black octopus looking sticker is destroyed. So AWESOME hahahha

Those strats are surprisingly durable. I don't think it's destroyed. :p/>

nvmd- setlist already posted :)/>

[ItsSoPringles]

this XYU sounded alot better than it did in rio, not just there being energy but his vocals and scream sounded great, though that mary part was shitty, what comes after is perfect though.


also if someone can find ava adore please post it, it'd be much appreciated.



the way he sings "today is the greatest" is great

i also love what billy says before the song here

[BitterRootOfSelf]

Thanks so much for posting those videos! I will never forget how intense and fun XYU was up close.. Here are some pictures i took from the show and from the cruise. Still working on the videos.. http://www.flickr.co...s/80678026@N05/

[orchidaii]

That XYU video from afar does not compare to seeing it from the front row...Billy going crazy on the amps and then my friend Elliott holding up the mic stand so he can finish the guitar distortion. I'll never forget B)
