I'm just not getting the bad reviews about this gig. Admittedly I'm not a massive SP fan but they put on a good live show and that's what I love about them.

I've read reviews where they're saying that the crowd were unresponsive. I got stuck in the middle of the mosh pit and still have the bruises to show for it.

I've read reviews saying that Billy Corgan let his ego get the best of him. Really!?! He seemed to be in high spirits to me; reacting well with the crowd.

Reviews saying that they didn't play the best songs. Yup, there were a couple of songs I switched off to (and at one point - during United States during the lengthy guitar riff thingee - Mr Corgan caught me. Stared right at me for a couple of minutes, I tried to smile back but erm.. :|)but my dream set list isn't going be everyone else's dream list. Can't please everyone

I was extremely lucky 'coz I got a good position a few rows back from the stage. Could see everything until the really tall guy stood in front me - why tall people need to stand at the front, God knows!?!

What spoilt it for me was the drunken idiots in the mosh pit. It's those idiots that make mosh pits dangerous. One girl got knocked down, fortunately someone managed to pick her up quickly before she got hurt. Okay I might have been the boring one for not joining in and not getting so drunk that I'm not even aware why I'm moshing, but my days of moshing ended a few years ago, my knees can no longer take it . I've been there done that, so I happy to stand to the side and take in the good music and atmosphere. All of which this gig had.

It was fabulous gig and I would go and see them again if given the opportunity.
