I love to see concerts and figured I would know a bunch of their popular songs, then enjoy the rest of the show. I was surprised at just how much I really liked that concert. Billy Corgan was terrific. They played a 3 hr and 15 minute set. I would recommend going to see them if you have the chance. I liked it way more than I expected.
Interesting. I was never big into Smashing Pumkins, but I enjoyed their popular stuff in the '90s. The next "retro" show that I think we are going to is Metallica. Probably going to wait and see them here in Raleigh, on Jan 28. Although they're playing in Charlotte on Oct. 22, the night before the Bengals play the Panthers.
And, that is ironic, as I AM intending on going to watch the Bengals/Panthers game. Just don't know if I can afford the double event weekend, as I have other stuff going on around that same time.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
