means the shirt between the buttons gets oval shaped, in extreme cases you can see pudges of fat through these gaps
also they come open. looks like he's not quite there, but again somone mentioned he's probably sucking the gut in |

seriously, a career-retrospective show without any pre-gish/gish song? I expected him to at least play rhinoceros..

Hopefully everyone had a great time. Set list looks about what I expected, as he did say that he was going to play his favorites. Though, he should have included a Gish song, rhino or crush would have fit on that set list just fine. I had hoped that he would resist the urge to in.clude his wrestling obsession into the show, but it is what it is.

I think its a pretty solid set list. Lots of good stuff in there for the hardcore fans and enough notables for the casual fans to enjoy.

aware that my opinion on this doesn't matter, but figured i'd offer my take anyway:
initial reaction the the setlist, assuming it's correct, having heard nothing: really would have been excited to hear these: would enjoy these: Quote:
really depends on how these were performed: Quote:
honestly not really pumped on these, don't have much emotional connection w/ them, but give 'em the benefit of the doubt: Quote:
have never enjoyed these: Quote:
and hard to be enthused w/ these: pure greatest hits, always played at nearly every show. seems like a waste to have about 20% of your setlist to be of this category, when you've called it out as a really special, unique event. you could take just 1 or 2 of these, and sub in 3 of the "always plays these too" list i put down below and probably be better off while still getting in your quota Quote:
off the top of my head, some songs that would have been impressive / exciting to have included: not worth asking porcelina medellia of the grey skies rotten apples stumbleine pennies the tale of dusty and pistol pete crush snail set the ray to jerry la dolly vita whir lily blank page beautiful by starlight luna here is no why try, try, try this time with every light czarina once in a while daphne descends speed kills rocket some songs that would still hit the "we've played this a ton of times before" but preferable to some in the list: to sheila mayonaise soma drown geek usa zero i think what this reinforces for me is that there is no change when it comes to me not connecting w/ billy's view of his work for the last decade+ last time i really connected w/ it i supposed is the last show on 12/2/2000. was an amazing dig through the archives. just a really great job. sure there was some machina stuff in there that kind of dragged, but some of the ones he dug ou treally impressed. don't have that feeling here. that's fine, it's his thing, he should continue doing as he sees best, but i'm glad i didn't seriously consider attending hoping the adore reissue delivers, have been looking forward to that one at least as much as mcis and tafh. gotta give him credit for those |

The fact that a bunch of wrestlers came into sing a sad ballad at the end of a theroetically 'special' show is the most Billy Corgan thing Billy Corgan's ever done.
Also he picked the two most boring Zwan songs. Also no fucking Whir. |

Show was fun. I updated on FB because I'm old and that's the only social media I use. Trots, Sarah, and others were fucking hilarious commenting on my posts so that made it worth it.
B+/B show. My friend and I sat right next to Peter (fake producer), although I can't remember if he was more of a blamo douche or if there was a crossover with Netphoria. And there was a couple who were making out non stop for literally half the first part of the set. People were dyyyying around us, some taking pics, Peter's girlfriend or wife or whatever was being funny about it. Now,,, the long drive back to KCMO. |

“BURNT ORANGE-BLACK’ was next, and this is one of those songs that has that timeless ring to it. Slow, languid, but powerful, with a set of changes you could jam all night on. But…Howard said, “It’s no single,” and we agreed. Not that every song has to be a single, mind you, but ‘single’ here is code word for’ it could be better,’ or ‘this idea has more potential that it’s showing.’ With that I tried adding a stuttering guitar figure, and presto! Change-o! We at least had something that sounded radio-worthy, which is funny considering the staccato stuff was the only change. Shows you how thin the premise is a good song vs a great one. Etc, etc. Score: 3-0. |

Was that the full version of muzzle? He just kept repeating that one stanza throughout those two minutes. Muzzle has some of my favorite lyrics so I'm not sure how I feel about it, but the music sounds nice (except his singing).
Is it me or does it seem like there's a lot of talking throughout the concert? It's like the music was a backdrop to their evening. |

According to the Tribune review, the "MCIS suite" was just bits of each song compiled together.

"Piped-in samples also boosted "Thirty-Three" and "1979," part of a suite of stripped-down "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" compositions that displayed Corgan's growth as a singer. Replacing volume with nuance and screaming with suggestiveness, he put the lyrics on equal footing with beautiful melodies. Focusing on such details, he drew out extra poignancy and vulnerability, particularly on the fragile note-interlaced twirl of "Galapogos" and piano-based confession "To Forgive."
'Piped in samples' means pre recorded drum loops or whatever. 'Stripped down' means he played the songs without the heavy instrumentation present on the album. Unless I missed something here about each bit of the song compiled together? |
