Hi guys,
We went to see the Smashing Pumpkins at Nottingham Arena and took a few photos and videos of the gig... you can see some of them here:

It's a shame the band decided to finish straight after 1979... especially after only 1hour and 10mins of playing... other gigs they have done on this tour lasted well over 2hours... so i do think it's fair to feel cheated some what.
I've been a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins since around 1995 and this is the first time i have seen them live... it's a shame the band didn't share my enthusiasm on the night.
I think the best days of the Smashing Pumpkins are well and truely over, but it was still good to get a chance to see them play some of the classics live... they didn't play my favourite 'Disarm' though, which is a shame.
2/5.
