Got vip, I am not fighting all the crowd surfers this go round. :D :D :D

I think they play the 26th, oct...

http://www.voodoomusicfest.com/

you paid $450 for a ticket? I have paid a lot for ticktes, but that is crazy.

Imagine going to a concert to see the pumpkins, waiting all fucking day to see the pumpkins while listening to other shitty bands, and standing about 20 rows from the stage... Crowd surfers, other people. Fuck that. Keyword: splurge, note: I work and save money for these types of things.

Not to mention they play for about 2 hours...

I should be there as well. Got my plane and festival tix.

Fuck that. I'm buying a single-day ticket for Saturday when they go on-sale next week. The Austin to New Orleans drive should be fun :rolleyes: Maybe I should take up smoking again.

I don't mind fighting the crowd surfers because my ticket was only $100. VIP is not that important to me when it's my first time seeing the Pumpkins.

Are they seriously playing for 2 hours?

hope so they just did in Toronto, cant wait to see them and Rage the same weekend :)

Single day tickets for Saturday can be purchased here:

So, is anyone planning on taping this show on Saturday?

*bigcheesysmile*

This is one of the only fests with a band lineup (and set lengths) that would justify the price and arriving before the Pumpkins took the stage.

Edit: exnay on the band lineup thing...sort of. RATM would be worth it though.

will be staying at the Marriot on canal st, flying in tommorow afternoon, man havnt seen RATM since i was like 18.

VIP! VIP! VIP! And I say VIP! because I'm like, taking it back from the man....

I'm leaving at like 3am tomorrow.
I cannot wait to see M.I.A and RATM tomorrow. Actually, the whole fucking day is going to be great.
And SP should be fun on Saturday.

fuck yeah

you paid $450 for a ticket? I have paid a lot for ticktes, but that is crazy.


If you think about it, its 450$ for 3 days of vip treatment...Thats not bad at all. You break it down per day and its 150$ per day.

yeah, wonder if they'll let me upgrade at the park... nice seats easy and free food ...honestly very tempting

Without VIP, you think I could get close to the front if I try to make my way up there during Spoon?

Without VIP, you think I could get close to the front if I try to make my way up there during Spoon?

If there's a will, there's a way.

Picnic in front of the stage all day. It is the ONLY way to guarantee front row center for the main event. Or as I have thought of doing before, skydive into the front row when the pumpkins take stage...

or buy vip...

Judging from the situation with RATM tonight, I think if I get there in time for Ben Kweller, I'll be able to eventually make it up there for when SP comes on.

Hopefully.

And RATM rocked soooo hard.

Webcast: http://www.iclips.net/voodoo.php

^ Unfortunately no Rage or SP?? :(

And RATM rocked soooo hard.

Tell more? How big is the fest (number in attendance, etc)?

I heard near 100,000 were there last year, so this year's numbers may not be too far off from that. I was a little over 100 feet from the stage when Rage were on, and when I turned around to get a good look at the crowd behind me, I couldn't even see the end of it....So God only knows how many people showed up for them. And there were a lot of people around me talking about being psyched for the Pumpkins, so I imagine it'll be just as big tomorrow night.

Sorry...wish I could give you real numbers.....but I haven't heard any yet. As far as Rage's setlist, I can't remember at the moment exactly everything, but it was mostly hits (no Renegades of Funk though :()

^ Cool, sounds like SP will be playing for a massive audience then. The biggest since Reading in England, I think?

I am not there... but I'm guessing 100K is an overestimate. Does Bonnaroo even draw that many? I always figured maybe 75K tops. Either way.. still a lot of peeps.

Man, I'm just about to leave Houston. I hope I'll be able to make my way up to somewhere reasonably close to the stage.

If all goes well, I'll update the setlist at the blog (www.hipstersunited.com). Andrew's texting us since my Schoeps are down there with him. Should be interesting to see what they play.

Hope the Pumpkins are done before I have to go to my Halloween party.

So far it's been:

[Circus Music Intro]
Superchrist
Doomsday Clock

Wonder if there is any chance they will show a replay of SP's set from 11PM-1AM CST on Sunday 10/28. On the webcast page it says "iClips Exclusive" for that time slot ( http://www.iclips.net/voodoo.php ). But I would bet on it being Rage's set before SP's

superchrist
doomsday clock
bring the light
drown
hummer
bwbw
pomp and circumstance
siyl
tonite
taruntula
glass
1979 solo acoustic
to shiela acoustic
set the ray to jerry
today
that's the way
u.s.
-encore-
hmm
-born on the bayou (creedence)
-on the road again
-i luv rock and roll

taped with my AKG's in my hat. Also video taped the screen so it's a little shaky but looks proshot

if they keep drown, hummer, pomp, siyl, and strtj in the set for another week, i will be a happy happy girl.

were they well-received?

Just got back! I was about 4 or 5 people from the rail, right in between Billy and Jeff. Because of the 2 mosh pits going on around me at the same time, I ended up 10 people from the rail by the end. But I guess I would have been happy anywhere in the crowd since it's my first SP show.

The "Born on the Bayou" addition to HMM was a nice touch. :) The crowd was much more violent than they were for Rage, which I would have expected the exact opposite. From where I was, so close to the rail, BWBW was craaazyyyy. Everyone kept chanting "Zero!" over and over before and after the encore, so I can only imagine how insane the place would have been if they had actually played it. The only thing I would have changed is taking out Glass and the Ghost Children and Pomp & Circumstance, and putting something like Cherub Rock and Zero or Muzzle or something. No one really seemed into those two songs.

Overall, I'd have to say that my first Pumpkins experience was quite a wonderful one. :)

were they well-received?
Hell, yeah. Like I said in my last post, the crowd was MUCH more into it than RATM. (at least from where I was standing)

Hell yeah... still hoping they somehow do webcast this as a surprise tomorrow night

Dude, are you kidding? The crowd was half into it because the set sucked. During Rage I was fending for my life. Tonight, I was trying to stay awake. Fuck that.

Fucking awesome.

What, were you standing in the back for SP or something? I was about 100 feet or so from the rail for Rage (had to cross 2 pits to get there) and I didn't get shoved around nearly as much as being in the 4th row for the Pumpkins. Especially during Tonight, a whole huge group of us up there almost flat out collapsed more than once from all the tension of the pits around us pushing us down. I've got an Image Stabilization mode on my camera that keeps the video still even with hand shaking, and you can still clearly tell every time someone flat out slams into me during my recording of Hummer. No one could move an inch...if you were rammed into from the pit next to you, then 10 or so people all around you were going down too (and I had a pit right in front of me at the rail and to the right of me).

Also, Billy moved around and screamed a heck of a lot more than I've seen in recent video boots. He must have been in a really great mood last night.

i was wondering if anyone knows if there is any audio of Born on the Bayou?

it was taped. give it time.

good times

Found this on youtube, it's Born on the Bayou

http://youtube.com/watch?v=bzsmeLUkqm8

interesting

The Voodoo webcast (http://www.iclips.net/voodoo.php) was down for almost 20 minutes at the start of Wilco's set tonight (8PM CST). They ended up showing the remainder of the Wilco, and after they wre finished, showed the first 4 songs from the set that were missed earlier due to the webcast being down.

Kings of Leon just started webcasting at 10:15PM CST (was supposed to be 9:30-11PM CST). So... whatever "iClips Exclusive" was scheduled from 11PM-1AM is now delayed. Still hoping it's Rage or SP as a surprise.

EDIT:
Well, now it says "Up Next: More interviews", so we are probably out of luck...

I'm hoping to have my audio up this weekend. I'm not leaving New Orleans until tomorrow and I gotta record From Autumn To Ashes on Tuesday and Jimmie's Chicken Shack on Wendesday. Hopefully I can get some sleep on Thursday. It sounds decent enough to listen to but not as good as my past recordings. For some reason they did not have the repeater stack of speakers up the last two days. I stood in front of the for Rage Against The Machine and that recording sounds much better.

That clip from "Born on the Bayou" sounded excellente. It has that vibe of lot of the old school covers they used to perform regularly back in their early years as a band.

Please post the the Rage recording when you get it done. They were fucking incredible.


But believe who you want, the majority of those who I talked to post-pumpkins were disappointed. No Zero, no muzzle, no Cherub Rock. Why? Why couldn't they have played just one more fan favorite to pick up the pace. GATGC was alright, but it toally sucked the life out of the crowd because no one ever listens to track 11 on Machina.

because no one ever listens to track 11 on Machina.
i listen to Wound pretty often

who cares if the crowd pleasers weren't played? this band is playing for us, the real fans. lololololololollolollllllolollllloool roffle roffle

seriously, who would be complaining if the set list looked something like this:

(not necessarily in this order)

I am One
Rhinoceros
Siva
Drown
Cherub Rock
Today
Rocket
Disarm
Landslide
Tonight,Tonight
Zero
Muzzle
1979
Thirty Three
BWBW
The End is the Beginning is the End
Ava Adore
Perfect
TEG
SIYL
Tarantula
That's the Way


Not me.

seriously, who would be complaining if the set list looked something like this:
anyone seeing more than one show like that

anyone seeing more than one show like that

which comprises about 1%, maybe less, of all the people who attend the shows.

Please post the the Rage recording when you get it done. They were fucking incredible.

Holy fucking shit. Rage was insane. I was front row until the security guards pulled me out like 4 minutes before Rage started. I still managed to push my way close to the stage though. I've never seen a crowd get like that before.

I was maybe 4th row for SP, and no one around me seemed to be into it. They formed a mosh pit though during a few songs(Bring the Light and Thats The Way :erm: )

Voodoo was pretty fucking amazing I must say.

$450? Shit, I could pay for most of that Samsung LCD tv I've been eyeballing for the past three months.

Okay. I have to ask. Were you between Billy and Jeff...and wearing a light blue shirt?

finally just got back to Toronto

Rage was unbelievable, ive seen them 5 or 6 times and that was easily the best.

I was right on the rail at the sound stage for it and was tossing little kids over the fence to security cause they were trying to escape.

was an amazing weekend over all, some really great bands and good people, although beer at the festival was shit

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Endar/PumpkinssetlistVoodoo.jpg[/IMG]

was collecting sound board setlists from the good bands all weekend :) think thos are corgans guitars used on the right

wow that was AmAzInGly great. i love hmm but that hmm was really something else! :D

What a great show those New Oreleaners got! :D :D :D !

Holy fucking shit. Rage was insane. I was front row until the security guards pulled me out like 4 minutes before Rage started.

Why'd they pull you out?

Mosh pit for TTW... lol

You mean I could have seen them perform Cherub Rock, AND THEY CUT IT FROM THE SET?!




WTF

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Endar/PumpkinssetlistVoodoo.jpgyou have no idea how happy it makes me to see Porcupine Tree's setlist right next to SP's

Why'd they pull you out?



Mosh pit for TTW... lol
Well the hour before RATM the whole crowd wouldnt stop pushing, and all of us up front were being pushed from all sides. Like I was pushed to the right about 30 feet. I was the only girl in my area, and it was a bunch of 20something dudes all around me pushing, and that lead to extreme pain. They just kept on pushing and pushing and the rail was pushing against my ribcage, and I couldnt do anything about it. So I was freaking out trying to breathe, and the photographers were loving me because I was this girl front row at a rage show being killed. This one photographer got pissed that I was crying and in all this pain and no one was helping me, so he told them if I was still like this when rage fucking started, that I had to leave. And finally, I was pushed again and I heard something pop, and I thought I broke my rib cage, so I screamed and the security guards told me I wasnt going to make it through Rage, and to get out. So I did.

So I fucked up my back, bruised my rib cage, I have cuts and scrapes all over me, and it hurts to breathe.

Goooood stuff.

you have no idea how happy it makes me to see Porcupine Tree's setlist right next to SP's

:) they were great, was really impressed with them

Here's the video I taped of the screen for Born On The Bayou.

now THAT is rock and roll.

This show was tremendous. That's really all that can be said.

The show was good but could have been so much better. Substitute the 15 minutes of Glass and the Ghost Children with Zero and a couple other songs and end it with Cherub Rock. People liked the show but they weren't blowin away like they were with Rage. The Pumpkins could have blown people away if they would have done that.

dunno glass was awsome, i definetly woulda droped that I love rock and roll crap for cherub and zero though, xyu woulda been even better :P

Like I said, the majority of the people I talked to after the show were very disappointed by SP. Alot of people were even laughing during the "I Love Rock and Roll" part, they were just like, "What the hell is this?"


If they had played Cherub Rock or Zero, the show would have been about 10 times better. I just wanted to hear an old-school rocker but instead we got Born on The Bayou. Fuck. :cry:

A lot of people liked the show that I talked to, but Rage stole the weekend with their performance. SP had a chance to at least match that performance and at least join the talk, but they chose to play Glass and the Ghost Children again. ENough with this song. For a festival crowd they didn't come to listen to this audience killing song. Even the Times Picayune Blogger said he was about to leave until he heard 1979 start as he was walking away.

born on the bayou! fuck yeah! thx cabbage

Okay. I have to ask. Were you between Billy and Jeff...and wearing a light blue shirt?
Nope sorry. I was wearing shorts and a black sweater and a purple shirt.

now THAT is rock and roll.
:cool:

The show was amazing. My husband and I were about 8 people away from the guard rail. The crowd absolutely sucked. If I had the money, I would have paid for VIP tickets rather than having to stand in that awful pothead crowd and be shoved all the time.


All I can say is I'm so disappointed in the so called "fans" that didn't like the show. If you like the Pumpkins just for their singles, then you're not a true fan. Glass and the Ghost Children was amazing and I thought my husband was going to die right then and there from hapiness. If you can't appreciate the beauty of Glass, then you have no clue what real rock music is.

If you can't appreciate the beauty of Glass, then you have no clue what real rock music is.

o rly?

Guess I can't appreciate what rock music is then, because Glass is about the worst thing the I have ever heard anybody do. It totally killed the crowd. And this wasn't an SP crowd, it was a festival crowd. FOr the most of those fans, all they know are their hits.

STRTJ was probably one of the greatest things ever though.

If you can't appreciate the beauty of Glass, then you have no clue what real rock music is.
:rofl:

Well... I think you meant well in your comments, but obviously people shouldn't be taking this 100% literally. Anyway, Glass shows another element of what the band is capable of doing, which is awesome. Many people don't "get it" because they aren't used to long jams (or they just don't like it, which is fine for them).

But anyway did you go to the South Carolina show tonight?? Check that show's thread, the reviews were awesome for Glass

yeah dont get why they dont like Glass either.. was defintly a highlight for me at the show

Oh yeah I was at the Columbia show last night. It was amazing at usual.

i'm looking forward to hearing it if they keep it in the set; i love the long jams, it's one of my favorite things about seeing this band live.

exactly.

i'll never forget the good old days when i hoped and prayed to get a silverfuck at whatever show i happened to be going to at the time... there were at least two i saw where they didn't play it, i was pretty bummed.
