Don't feel for little Lord Fauntleroy. He is on his 70th holiday of the year.

I might go just to spite him. I'll be laughing right up until the moment the music starts.

So anyone going tonight? I can't wait, although haven't seen them since 2001, hope its not too different with the different band members.

Also taking my husband tonight... more like dragging him ha!

Setlist was the same as most of the other European dates (I think, not too great on all the new songs).

They added tonight tonight after cherub rock, probably because the crowd were pretty into it...Billy cracked out the occasional smile. When he finally spoke just before the encore he said the crowd were the most enthusiastic out of the UK dates and he wouldnt be returning to all the UK dates he played this time round next year.

We waited after but they all walked straight into the bus.

To be honest, out of the 3 times I've seen SP (since the reform) I think they had the best sound and tone this time round. Mike's no Jimmy but he did a good job. Billy's voice is sounding awesome as well. Only hope the album isn't over-produced!

I forgot to mention, a lot of people seemed to talk through a lot of the songs, was this the same at every gig? Also i heard some people moaning about not knowing any of the songs they were playing. Both we very annoying!

Out of three times I have seen the pumpkins, last night was the best, I have to say. I know a lot of "fans" were moaning about the b sides and the lack of hits, but at the end of the day I really felt that that set list was for pumpkins fans who enjoy their full spectrum of music. Surely it can be a bit predictable to play the same hits over and over. Some of the songs last night surely deserved their time in the live spotlight...

I do have to admit I was talking in between tracks to the guy next to me, but we were both excited at the set list. Apart from that I was singing most of the way through...LOL!
