I wonder if there will be a Constantinople Records release handed out at the gate...

doubtful

what time eastern does this one start?

doubtful

You think, Monte?

They're probably playing Soma and Mayonaise tonight at that end of the world gig in front of a crowd of 200.

the turkish government probably just arrested ginger for having such a short skirt

Let's just hope that Jeff doesn't get arrested (or stoned) for mentioning the Armenian Genocide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial_of_the_Armenian_Genocide) on stage.

The Armenian Genocide never happened. THEY WERE ALL ON VACATION.

Turkish and Greek crowds love stones. I hope Billy pulls out Cast a Stone.

or a stone temple pilots cover. or stone roses. or a stone gossard special guest appearance. stone cold steve austin!

No love for Turkey?

No, they sell the worst meat and cocaine in town, at least here.

Don't know anything about that. Don't do drugs and I'm a vegetarian ;)

But back to topic, no setlist? Was it good, anybody went to that show?

People can`t access netphoria in turkey due to pictures of bare hands. We`ll never get any info on that show I`m afraid...

ALLE GRROENTE? SAUS? TRRINKE?

Kluttergeld?

kebab.

No, they sell the worst meat and cocaine in town, at least here.isn't the name of the event they play called 'Coke Festival'?

See!? That`s what I`m talking about, don`t buy their stuff!

good stuff to get Turkey people rockin':

Jesus is the Sun
Jesus, I
Jesus Loves His Babies
Siva
God
Mary Star of the Sea

i hope they played doomsday clock.

TURKEY IN MY HEART.

I love those pissed off Corgan screams he's been getting back into doing lately

I can barely speak... yesterday's gig was great taken from a different forum

what song was that and where is the setlist

awww yeah. Billy's getting cool again. hahaha

Those screams, man... chills every time.

I guess it's Silverfuck.

If you look at the guys profile he uploaded a couple of vids (one of them being a nice version of shame): http://www.youtube.com/user/alisahinler

Yeah, Shame sounds pretty awesome in that vid.

Can anyone make out what he’s saying at the end of silverfuck? It sounds familiar (at least the “trouble, trouble” part does), has he done this rendition before?

why doesn't he have the song titles? So annoying...

I love the 2007 version of Shame. It's great

On a more trivial note, what's Billy wearing? Looks like a red t-shirt with some design on. Thank God it looks like we're slowly getting towards sensible clothes ;)

I love the 2007 version of Shame. It's great

I agree 100%. I wasn't ever really a big fan of the album version, but I think it's been one of the major highlights of the tour so far.

Turkish colors (red/white), can't see if there's a design.

You can say whatever you want about Turkey but the sound quality at that festival seemed to be really great. At the multi-million dollar festival I went to you couldn't hear any of the guitar solos in Silverfuck.

i think i hear "come a little closer, come a little closer" which has been a regular part of it. no clue on the rest.

oh wait, i missed the other video... i can't make much of it out, but it sounds similar, probably partially improvised as usual.

i wonder if the person even knows what songs they are playing. i can't imagine SP is that big out there

it sounds like the standard "trouble, trouble" rant

that's what i said.

Well, that's possible.

But annoying nonetheless :p

Turkey is an Islamic (although officially secular) state. As much as Islam banishes portraying person's faces, it also forbids naming songs.

i wish every thread could be as informative as this one. i feel truly enriched today. thank you, people. :cool:

This might be overkill on the informative side, but here:

JJB prompted me to think about the festival itself and that I did. Feel like I'm back in Chicago at school. Phew.

this thread needs less BS, and more setlist

"t’s different in Turkey. Here you can just give people a stone and they will find some way to entertain themselves with it.” ;)

Right, I'm not an expert on Turkey but I'm calling bullshit on that naming songs thing
There's no way that can be true

My powers of deduction have served me well

Apparently it was a Turkish shirt - I can’t make out exactly what he is saying but I’m guessing he wore it to commemorate their first ever concert in Turkey (it was their first concert there right?)

I wish I could see them in a country like that. Adds quite an effect to the whole thing, I bet.

where the fuck is the setlist

Here's what some guy on the official Pumpkins site said:

September 02, 2007 - Rock 'n Coke 2007 - Istanbul, Turkey

Yesterday we (me and my wife) finally made to the Rock 'n Coke Festival in Istanbul. We went all the way from São Paulo, Brazil, to see the Smashing Pumpkins - as we did earlier this year in the Grand Rex and Pinkpop Festival too.rnrnThe show was very nice, they played a good mix of old songs and new songs.rnrnThe organization gave them some more time, so they played for about 1h50m instead of the 1h30m that was scheduled.rnrnInstead of closing with Muzzle as in England, they played a very nice Silver[bad word removed].rnrnBilly stopped for 5 minutes where he told some jokes about Turkey and changed his clothes to a Turkish flag t-shirt - I have uploaded the photos of it.rnrnThe songs were (as I can remember):rnrnUnited States, Today, Stand Inside Your Love, Bleeding the Orchid, Superchrist... can't remember the correct order after those. They also played Tonight, Tarantula, Starz, Doomsday Clock, Shame, Glass and the Ghost Children, Zero, BWBW, Heavy Metal Machine, Death from Above (BC + keyboards only) and Silver[bad word removed] in the end. That's about all of it.rnrnWe managed to be in the front row cause we got a "front row ticket" - it helped a lot, cause we got pretty late to the festival.rnrnWell... all in all... the festival was so organized, much better then Pinkpop. All clean, so many places to pee and eat that you never get lines and cool and friendly people - a great experience!rnrnPS- BC is funny.

it was a turkish flag on the shirt he changed into.

why he changed it i can't say, people just liked it better that way.... ;)

where the fuck is the setlist
That's nobody's business but the Turks...

























......ok, ok thats the last one i promise. :blush:

That's probably one of the combinations one can get with the songs they're currently performing.

Except for Hummer, though.
