no, it's actually cool that you got to have drinks with Billy. it's just too bad you told Monte before coming to us.

The whole point of playing and changing your setlist from night to night is so you as a band don't get utterly bored with your own songs.
I don't like hearing the talk of Vegas acts, shows he is not in the right mindset. |

And yes, I found the Gish-box set to be news to me. I hadn't heard/read anywhere about the tour getting delayed (possibly shelved completely). I did ask Billy what was next after the November Anniversary shows since the Gish tour isn't taking place early '09 anymore (at least that's the "current" word). He said he didn't know. I said, well if the box set comes out in 2010 will you still be doing the Gish tour and his response was (with a smile)... "I'm ready to retire". |

exactly, the cure play a setlist as massive, if not more massive than any show sp has played on tour thus far and every night there are at least 3-4 songs that were played at some other point on the tour but not necessarily the night before or even entirely brand new songs to the tour. they let their fans know what to expect and what is a treat. i don't think billy realizes that most of the shows in the same area of the country/continent are attended by the same sets of fans, looking to get that treat. if you let them know that there's no reason whatsoever to see a 2nd sp show of the tour, i promise you that ticket sales will see a significant drop. then again, he'll probably just write it off by saying people just don't see shows anymore. |

i wonder if the keyboard and the percussion shown in the rehearsal pictures are going to be used for these shows and if that is what billy considers what they've never done before

Yep. Isn't it about time for him to realize that he has tons of people traveling to see his shows? Why is it that Pearl Jam gets this so right and he just can't seem to process the information? If I knew they would play a few "1 time only" songs every concert I would go see more shows. That's what made the premise of the residencies so exciting. |

i can only think that playing the same set will cause there to be less ticket sales as assholes like us will be less inclined to see them 40 times a tour. if he cant sell out with us, how does he think its going to go without us

I guess what I'm saying here is that since 1996, Billy Corgan-related concert tours, taken tour by tour, have featured little variety, with the exception of 2007. It would be great if that variety would continue, but given Billy's history, it's not reasonable to expect it. Therefore, I don't look for these August shows to feature as much variety as the '07 shows, but if the '08 shows so far are any indication, there could be a little change here and there...not enough to satisfy the complainers, of course, but as far as I can tell that's why most of us are here. In fact, I welcome your complaints about this post. |

i think a lot of the shows will sell out like the day of the show. it has been that way for a lot of concerts i've been seeing lately. corgan is probably pissed the band isn't as big as it used to be, but who the fuck cares. i think they are playing appropriate venue sizing on this tour
same setlists sucks, but that really isn't that surprising on such a small tour. to be honest, the pumpkins never were that big on varying their setlists on any given tour. i mean they did a little bit, but nothing too crazy. edit: i got sidetracked after hitting reply and who am I already said it, but yeah they never really varied that much. it does take away some of the fun of looking sets up online, so since i know it will be teh same i'm going to avoid this place till after the aug 12th show. i hope they play a solid 23-24 songs though. i hope. |

and also.. get a fucking life people. go out or some shit.. you don't need to be on the internets every night refreshing your web browser to see that there MIGHT be a possibility the band played something that would excite you for a split second. LAME.
besides, you're not the one buying the ticket by reading a message board, the band doesn't have to please you. and even if they were to change up the setlist.. it's not like the variations n the past have been so dramatic that it warrants buying tickets for multiple shows.. not like one song difference is going to give you a special night like no other.. this isn't the grateful dead. you're still going to hear today, bwbw, 1979 blah blah blah. |

yeah the setlists of the past may not have varied all that much but they weren't the SAME EXACT SONGS IN THE SAME EXACT ORDER night after night. There's absolutely no element of surprise whatsoever.
