I received this email from Pollstar today:

Hi Brady:

Thanks for the email.

We were scratching our heads about that string of dates as well. Here's what's going on...

The Pumpkins record label sent us an update late last week listing the Fillmore dates and a note saying the dates would be officially announced on Monday, May 7 and go on sale Sunday May 13. The label also asked us to hold off from listing the Fillmore dates until May 7.

We posted the dates yesterday (Monday) morning.

However, by the end of the day we noticed that other music news Web sites had yet to mention the Fillmore dates. What's more, we still hadn't received that announcement that was supposed to take place Monday morning.

We called LiveNation and Pumpkin's management company and received slightly different answers from both. However, what I'm about to tell you is in the plans, as of May 8.

First of all, both management and Live Nation say the Smashing Pumpkins will probably play the San Francisco area during that time period - mid to late July.

Management says the shows will probably happen as originally listed, and will take place at the Fillmore as planned. LiveNation says the venue may be, or may not be the Fillmore.

So that is where it stands as of Tuesday morning. We've removed the dates, but we expect to see a revised San Francisco listing for the Pumpkins within the next few days.

All the best,
Jay Smith

The Fillmore is such a small venue. At the very least they could have chosen the warfield...

the SF dates are a diversion aimed at drawing attention away from the Music Garage fiasco. They know the only real heavy hitter on here is Whatcolor and that he's from SF. Now he's facing an existential crisis trying to decide whether or not to go to the shows and has subsequently been neutralized.

It would be one of the best moves the band has done since the reformation. The Fillmore is such a great venue... the Warfield is utter crap.

One show at GAMH would be fucking nuts though, thats probably my favorite venue on the planet.

In this case I find it totally unfair to blast Brady. She's the only one to post anything with a source in quite a while around here.

I very much enjoyed the 2 Warfield shows I saw last December. No complaints here about that venue. But GAMH does look aewsome. Wanted to see Pearl Jam there last summer, didn't happen though
