A family wedding caused me to miss the first Pumpkins tour and travelling for work caused me to miss another chance to see Billy perform. Finally after being a huge fan for over a dozen years I finally saw a live performance. Fantastic!!!!
The crowd was as tame as I've ever seen at a concert and most didn't appear to know any songs, or even understand music of any sort...but who cares! I had an amazing time. Over 2 hours of solid performance without almost any break. I was worn out just watching, but could've watched for another 3 hours had they kept playing.
The sound was amazing. The performance was amazing. The Pumpkins were amazing.

Only disappointment was that they didn't play my favourite song from Zeitgeist - Bleeding the Orchid. The stereo always gets notched up for track 3 and it would have been amazing live. I think I'll keep it notched up from now on because I heard sounds during United States that I'd never heard before. When I pumped it up on the way to work the next morning I realised I'd been missing out. Now a big favourite. Always loved Mayonaise, Porcelina, Tarantula and Lily and all of the singles (I've heard all the albums so many times I've forgotten which songs were even released)
Would've been nice to hear Disarm live - but I'll have to save that for next time.....
I'd pay thrice as much to go to a smaller venue with true fans like yourselves. Who am I kidding - I'd pay thrice a much to watch them again tonight!

Keep safe. Until another day.
