isn't this thread about the concert?

7/6/2007 2:49:20 PM

concerts

and yes, it was, but the last one in Asheville was last night

now this thread can be used for other Smashing Pumpkins items

because that would be more efficient than making a new one

7/6/2007 2:51:32 PM

concertS, you're right..my bad. i only went to one of them, so im sorry

7/6/2007 2:58:52 PM

last night's show was good. he had another new song that he wrote yesterday morning that was pretty cool. he said he woke up cranky and didn't feel like writing, and this song just came to him.

it seemed like the show was gonna be a lot shorter than all the others, but after the last encore dragged out it did end up being around the 3 hour mark.

hopefully they'll get that one up on archive.org soon. it's good to see they finally got the others.

there is mp3 files of the 6/29/07 show
i downloaded the 24 bit flac files from archive.org and used http://media-convert.com/ to convert them all to VBR mp3 files so i could put em on my ipod. this is a rar archive of those files.

for all of the other die-hards that made it to the final show .... how freaking awesome was the "Oui Henri" tease before silverfuck. totally made my week.

7/6/2007 10:10:13 PM

Yeah, I can't wait to hear the boot of that. If I had been there, I think my head would have exploded.

7/6/2007 10:12:27 PM

it was a very brief tease, but cool nonetheless

the 7/5 concert was awesome. im still in disbelief that i finally saw SP live. tons of great pics.

...if you heard someone losing their voice screaming SOMAAA it was me

7/7/2007 5:04:50 PM

^just like 20 other million aholes who were yelling that as well

7/7/2007 5:16:47 PM

No one yelled "Rhinoceros"?

7/7/2007 5:17:33 PM

No one yelled "Spiteface"?




Although on a more serious note, someone asked Billy about "Soma" after one of the shows, and he said that he doesn't really want to play it anymore.

^^i heard at least one person yelling it out

7/7/2007 6:22:35 PM

James and Billy have been known to fight, and Billy for sometimes behaving petulantly on stage, especially when overzealous fans scream over and over for the same song title. He's then likely to mock them and refuse to play the song they are begging for, insisting that the Pumpkins "Don't take requests. We are not a bar band."

--Nevertheless, I was the asshole screaming geek usa all night long.

"There's been someone up here screaming 'Landslide' for the whole show... Normally we don't play 'Landslide,' but on occasion we've been known to play it... So since this person's been screaming it all show long... That just about kills the chances of me playing it tonight, or ever again."

7/7/2007 7:10:16 PM

i hate that kind of stuff tho. sure you wrote great music to get where you are, but also people listened to you to get where you are. of course it is more them making great music, but the shows we play, sure its fun for us but its like 90% for the fans and what they want. if people want us to play a certain song we usually play it :/

7/7/2007 7:27:58 PM

i can't imagine how boring it gets to play the same songs over and over so i don't blame them

but on the 30th show i could really tell billy was getting into "fuck you" and it was awesome

i guess he really felt like playing it

7/7/2007 7:52:51 PM

well they cant use that excuse right now for stuff like landslide, geek usa etc

7/7/2007 7:54:12 PM

setlist im guessing...

today
tarantula
starz
cherub rock

maybe one or two more

7/7/2007 8:19:00 PM

so are we gonna get to see them on Live earth?

Mayer is on right now.

i didn't know if it was like that live8 where there's music at the same time in like 8 countries

i guess BC only cares about the hard core fans who's favorites aren't the songs that everyone wants to hear (including me ). I for one was hoping to hear more from siamese dream at the show.

i suppose. i mean i consider myself a pretty hardcore fan. but yea i wanted to her a lot mroe from SD

7/7/2007 9:02:04 PM

hahaha, nice US anthem

7/7/2007 9:05:37 PM

he did that during the 6/30 show too

7/7/2007 9:11:56 PM

look at all those people... and we saw them with only 941 others

7/7/2007 9:13:10 PM

i don't want to turn this into a live earth thread

but it seems like there really aren't that many people there (at the stadium in germany).

[Edited on July 7, 2007 at 9:18 PM. Reason : .]

7/7/2007 9:16:29 PM

so what did they play before Bullet, that's when I started watching

the crowd shot at the pumpkins (NJ right?) seemed fairly large. I think it is the giants stadium

7/7/2007 9:22:15 PM

dammit are they gonna replay this on nbc?

7/7/2007 9:25:24 PM

It'll be on Bravo in a little bit. NBC is just showing whatever, though.

7/7/2007 9:26:28 PM

probably just part of it later on...they just showed a split second of them in the teaser for nbc before saying the police were on next

7/7/2007 9:27:16 PM

seriously though

i'm out of it today

7/7/2007 9:29:14 PM

They should be up really soon on Bravo.

Can't wait to see this again. Between Billy fucking up his voice, Ginger and Lisa being turned up too loud, and Jeff blowing the Today intro, it was a pretty classic borderline disastrous Pumpkins TV appearance.

7/7/2007 9:35:24 PM

what channel is bravoon TWC?

7/7/2007 10:19:39 PM

^ The same channel as ESPNU.

7/7/2007 10:29:25 PM

i thought that was the case.

7/7/2007 10:38:06 PM

Videos and pictures that I took from the show on the 5th. Front row, just to the outside of Ginger (attn: Marko).

I swear that during HMM, he is actually pointing at me (:40 mark or thereabouts). During the show on the 29th, I got some video during Hummer that looks like he's pointing at us, but this time around ... it's like holy hell he's really pointing at me. Anyway, enjoy the movies and pics.

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/44083-zeitgeist

4.9 out of 10 from Pitchfork. That might be too generous... I listened to it once and have no desire to repeat. I'm a long-time Smashing Pumpkins fan since Siamese Dream. I worshipped them through Adore. But, this album is just awful. I think for once pitchfork got it right when they said that Billy forgot that the pumpkins were awesome because they were versatile and had multiple sound palettes besides just churning hard rock consisting of layers of guitar noise over layers of guitar noise. Zeitgeist lacks melody and anything even remotely resembling the fragile, beautiful work of songs such as To Shiela, Mayonnaise, 33, and By Starlite

7/9/2007 5:06:29 PM

Nevermind, just saw it on a previous page.

[Edited on July 9, 2007 at 5:12 PM. Reason : ]

7/9/2007 5:11:47 PM

while the album is no siamese dream, i like it. i didnt like it as much right away, but the more i listen to it, its not bad. definitely better than a 4.9 at least imo

7/9/2007 5:17:41 PM

All the songs he's written in Asheville would make a pretty solid album, so maybe there's hope for the future.

7/9/2007 5:31:44 PM

I like Zeitgeist, but the three "bonus tracks" and the Asheville songs are better than two-thirds of the songs on the album.

[Edited on July 9, 2007 at 5:43 PM. Reason : don't forget Letterman tonight]

7/9/2007 5:42:46 PM

^ good call. I'm listening to Stellar right now, and I'm liking it much better than anything on the album
