Hello,
I saw the Smashing Pumpkins in concert last night. The Smashing Pumpkins are technically proficient, Billy Corgan sounded great (before the concert I was nervous about that), they played 29 songs and two hours and forty minutes. It was a great concert and later I’ll be posting my Smashing Pumpkins dream setlist.
I also want to talk about proper concert behavior. Concerts should always be fun, joyful, enjoy great music and having the best vibes. Two incidents from last night ruined those vibes.
First of all there were some women talking to the kids behind them requesting that stop talking so loud. First of all this request is made at a rock concert? How do the women even hear the people speaking behind them? I couldn’t hear anyone speaking behind me.
The more concerning incident was a man was standing next to a young woman half of his size. He was repeatedly calling her a f’n b—-. I don’t know what was going on, but a man should never call a young woman a f’n b—- at any time. This was concerning at so many levels. Thankfully another couple swapped seats with them so the young woman was able to move to a safer place.
But when you go to a concert just enjoy yourself and don’t bother anybody. If you need to help someone then help them. But just go, enjoy the music, dance and sing along. Enjoy yourself and let everyone enjoy themselves.
Now here’s the Smashing Pumpkins dream setlist.
This was the second song played last night and the highlight for me. FIne play this song early, but it should also be the last song played. 1) “Bullet With Butterfly Wings”:
2) “I Am One”:
3) “1979”:
4) “Drown”:
5) “Jellybelly”:
6) “Porcelina of The Vast Oceans”:
7) “Galapagos”:
8) “War Dreams of Itself”:
Yes, Billy Corgan still knows how to write a great rock song. 9) “Black Stars”:
10) “As Rome Burns”:
11) “Pentagrams”:
12) “Disarm”:
13) “Cherub Rock”:
This was the last song played last night. An instrumental built around a drum solo, while cool, should never end a concert. It was a very anticlimactic ending as people were streaming out while this song was being played. 13) “Superchrist”:
14) “Mayonnaise”:
15) “Tonight, Tonight”:
16) “Solara”:
17) “Siva”:
18) “Rhinoceros”:
19) “The Everlasting Gaze”:
20) “Zero”:
21) “Today”:
22) “Bullet With Butterfly Wings”:
