if you had told me that a day would come when i really didn't care very much about this, i would have disagreed.
but between the amount of time that's passed, and all that bill's done to trash the SP legacy since during that time, here we are. i'll get it, but i can't see myself watching it more than 2x ever. which is a shame in a way, because that concert was really, really remarkable. once in a lifetime |

I'd much rather have high quality show releases from 93-97, especially 95-97

I wonder if when Billy put the full page Chicago Tribune ad out just five years after the band broke up, if he actually thought James and D'arcy would come back because of nostalgia or need of money or whatever. I think he genuinely thought he could resurrect what the Pumpkins were, but once they ignored him and things didn't feel right with the new cast, it was too late to go back because his ego got in the way. Thus the Smashing Pumpkins from 2007 through today are a result of Billy's unwillingness to admit he should have left them dead.
Or maybe he really thinks they are genuinely the Pumpkins. Who knows. |

Billy continues to contradict himself. It is impossible at this point to know the actual truth about what went down, unless James comes out and verifys any of it.
But Here's how it most likely all went down: -James told Billy he was done in 1999. -Billy, being a hopeless romantic, decided to have the original band lineup end together, making one final record and doing one final tour before James left. -Billy brings Jimmy back, the band goes through the Arising! period and together begin writing the album. -Darcy's drug addiction causes her to freak the fuck out during the Roxy show in '99(I can personally attest to this, I was there), and hastily quits the band that very night, making the Roxy show the final time the 4 original members were together. -Billy moves on and continues without Darcy, hence the name of the meet-and-greet tour: Resume the Pose -With Melissa on board and Machina finished and released, the band begins the tour -During the tour, the relationship between Billy and James comes to a crashing end. James is unhappy with Billy's decisions and direction, and Billy in unhappy with James' commitment to the big picture -Billy, after seeing that with James completely signed off the Pumpkins are over, announces the impending breakup on KROQ -They continue the world tour, with James just trying to go through the motions for the sake of the band's image, but waiting to finally be done with Billy -The band begins rehearsing for the two farewell shows -The band is super emotional by this point, very on edge -With a final 4-hour last show, Billy and James seek to close the door on that huge part of their lives, but in doing so, look internally, rather than at what the other needs -After the emotional show, the only two members of the band who were there every single day from day 1, broke down in their own ways: Billy, the extrovert, balled his eyes out on stage. And James, the introvert, fled the scene to process what the fuck had just happened. Both were broken. -The bad blood festered more in Billy than it did James, as Billy quickly found out that Zwan was a shallow piece of shit band compared to the Pumpkins. Billy continues to blame James for the destruction of the band. -After an awful era with Zwan, as admitted by Billy, Billy said "fuck you" to the whole band concept and went solo... writing a poetry book and then working on a solo album. -Freakin out about his solo career, Billy decided mid-way through the recording process that working with Jimmy again was a good thing(Dia), and decided to resurrect the Pumpkins. -On the same day he released his solo record, Billy announces in the Tribune that he wanted the Pumpkins back. The plan was to use that announcement to simultaneously boost record sales, as well as stir talk about Billy and Jimmy reuniting. -Because Billy still carried a grudge regarding James, he never, ever called or wrote. Instead, he asked people to ask James about the Pumpkins reformation indirectly. James's response? "Fuck that. It he wanted me, he would ask me himself." -Never intending to have James back anyway, Billy and Jimmy laughed about the idea of Darcy returning, especially if James was out, and then went on to make Zeitgeist. -When asked about if he contacted James, Billy lies so as not to look like a punk. He explains that James never called him back, which contradicts him originally saying that James said he didn't want to be a part of it. -James refuses to address the media about it, as he has moved on to things he actually cares about. -This pisses off Billy more, and he continues to slander James in numerous interviews, with James refusing to participate in the uproar. -This whole process eventually repeats itself, as Jimmy leaves for the same reasons James left, and Billy moves to trash Jimmy in several interviews. -Billy immaturely responds to Jimmy leaving by hiring a kid drummer with zero experience to replace him. -Too hard to admit how dumb it all was, Billy goes on to construct the monstrosity that is/was Teargarden -Present day Last edited by Reyngel : 04-17-2012 at 03:19 AM. |

Well, let's assume that it was shot digitally. The next question would be if it was shot in Standard Definition or High Definition. HD started in 2000 so it is possible but my guess would be that it was shot in Standard Definition. Even then (SD), a presentation on Blu-ray would benefit because you wouldn't have any digital artefacts. Since HD started in 2000 it would actually be better if the source material was film. If a master was created from that it will look so much better on Blu-ray. As an example....here's a screenshot comparison (crop) of the movie "Seven Samurai" (1954): Blu-ray versus DVD...the difference is incredible: http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergl...ss=1#vergleich And then there's of course lossless audio on Blu-rays. Wouldn't you like to experience the Metro show with DTS-HD Master Audio? |
