Fantastic show, dodgy sound

Fantastic gig, great great setlist. Can't believe we got Mayonaise as well as the (only played live for the third time EVER) My Blue Heaven. The night was only let down by the below par sound, by no means a first at a Dublin show (anyone at the Future Embrace gig in the Ambassador few years back? - now that was bad).

Did think that there were a lot of 'Johnny Come Lately' fans there, waiting for the MTV hits (you know who you are), real fans know what the pumpkins think of that. Lotta kids who were in nappies when the Pumpkins (and the grunge/indie scene) were in there heyday, sorry not to see more of the grunge generation there. Felt very glad to have grown up when I did (never thought I'd look back and think that).

Ciaran84 and fincollins are clearly clueless celtic tiger kiddies, not true fans, or both (I'm guessing the latter). No offense to those of you whom are celtic tiger kiddies, you gotta tough break musically growing up when you have (with a few exceptions).

The pumpkins don't do 'album fillers' fincollins, if you're looking for that why not go grab some housewife rock like Coldplay, Travis etc. it's amazing how you were able to read everyones minds and know we were all 'just waiting for the gig to end', he tells us he's 'been a fan for nearly 7yrs', holy s**t so you've been a fan since they broke up....wow, hardcore. It was mentioned on the Ray Foley show on today fm too....hell that must mean it's true!!!

Today FM - ha! Ray Foley - ha!....gimme a break, f#+ki*g pissweak.

I've been a fan for 18 yrs, have seen them six times in various countries and have one of the biggest (if not the biggest) pumpkins collection on this island, it wasn't the best SP gig I've been to but it still rocked the senses and was great to hear some old tracks that haven't been played on tour for a very long time, oh yeah and it was the Smashing Pumpkins....playing 20 feet in front of me....nuff said. Lookin forward to seeing them in London.
