- Hummer - The Crying Tree of Mercury - Crush - Daydream (bc vocals) - Drown ( WOW! Very keen to hear this. I'm loving the random tracks being pulled out. I did a quick check and The last time Daydream was played was August 28th 1994 in Califonia. |

first review from netphoria thread:
---------------------------------
Ok just came back. Concert was great. Here's a short review:
Set 1:
- Hummer: oh well it's hummer, what else can I say
- Shame: was good, it was the new version they played on the tour so far but of course accoustic
- Tonight, Tonight:always a classic
- Home:liked it a lot
- Glass and the Ghost Children: best version of the song I ever heard,imho. played like on the tour so far but muuuuch better accoustic
- The Crying Tree of Mercury: ok b0lly you took piano lessons and it was nice but next time let Lisa play it
- Crush:never expected this one, that was cool, billy on piano, jimmy on drums
- Untitled: ok I'm sorry to say it again but I liked it a lot
- Today: oh well, we all know....
- Bleeding the Orchid: first new song played, doesn't sound too different from the other live versions but great song
- United States:liked it, it was like Johnny Cash on Speed, was kinda bluesy, the last part (where people usually clap and the thing after) is better with e-set. you noticed they didn't have enough time to think something up for that beforehand
Intermission
Set 2:
- Thirty-Three: oh well same as on the other concerts
- Daydream : NEVER EVER expected this one. during this part billy was playing solo and quite talkative. told how he wrote this song while living with his father and having to pay rent to him and so on.
- Tarantula:weak point of the set, it was interesting to see B0lly play it all by himself but as he had said before: he never tried it unplugged before and you could hear that. still fun somehow.
- Winterlong: played accoustic before
- Neverlost: nice song, not really grown on me yet
- Drown: omg omg omg, love that song
- Gossamer: liked it, nice jam at the end but one of those songs which need to be played electric imho
hmmm the person who wrote this list forgot:
That's the way. it was somewhere in the 2nd set but I don't remember the exact place. my fav. of the new songs so far and I liked this version a lot too.
The questions:
Questions had to be handed in before and the woman from the Radio station asked a few of them. Most were useless like "what have you done in Berlin so far" and stuff like that.
Asked about the album B and J told how they recorded it and stayed in a house together and stuff like that.
Someone asked about the white clothes: Jimmy said something like, it's not uncomfortable physically but it kinda hurts the eye lol
Well I think the Jeff and Ginger question was answered by itself. After the set they went off stage and only B0lly and Jimmy stayed to answer questions....
Jeff was great imho, did some great solos and stuff.
Before the concert started the band was sitting outside eating and drinking. I couldn't see Ginger and there was a blond woman sitting at the table and from some distance she looked like D'Arcy. Me and my mate were like "omfg D'Arcy???" but when we passed the table we noticed it was not her lol
GREAT concert, lots of white candles, nice atmosphere I'm so glad I could see this, I just hope someone could record it

Wow reminds me so much of the Marquee show, that really relaxed, unplanned vibe. The band stripped right back and letting the music do the talking. Awesome idea to have questions thrown in there.  EDIT: Wow Trev just listened to the Daydream clip ... WOW! Billy's voice sounds great. |

Them answering questions from the crowd reminds me of the JJJ Request Fest special back in 1996. I hope they do something like that over here.

I'm getting more and more impressed with the way they are returning with every show. Pulling out some oldies like crush, daydream and Drown and playing acoustic shows, the Pumpkins ethos is certainly there. I feel for sure that this is going to work out, that in a few years time we wont be looking back on this as sort of mistake.

...that in a few years time we wont be looking back on this as sort of mistake. you know i'm feeling that a lot with this tour. i mean i love hearing some great versions of these fantastic songs, but it hasn't felt right yet. everytime in the bootlegs when i hear him say "we are the smashing pumpkins" i get a little sad, because it's not, it's really not. especially after i watched the first half of the rock am ring this arvo (had to cut short at the acoustic part to go to work) it didn't look like billy weas happy, it didn't look like jimmy was happy, especially in bwbw, it really felt like a "going through the motions for reasons we wish we didn't have to" type vibe was going on. i didn't think i'd be this way, when the news first broke, i was pumped. i had never thought too much of darcy or james's roles in the pumpkins in the past, i was totally ready for billy and jimmy to represent the smashing pumpkins. but i don't know if it's about the choice of the particular touring musicians, or actually the absence of james and darcy. all i know is i'm not really happy with this being "the pumpkins". i have no problem with billy playing these songs, on his own, with jimmy or with anyone, but to call it the pumpkins feels wrong. i wish this was just the next "billy corgan" tour, or if it had to be something more then "billy and the pumpkins" or something, maybe not as lame. i can't believe how much i miss darcy and james. |

This secret show has got me the most excited.
They're playing songs they don't really play, it's not a Greatest Hits cash-in. Just awesome.

it didn't look like billy weas happy, it didn't look like jimmy was happy, especially in bwbw, it really felt like a "going through the motions for reasons we wish we didn't have to" type vibe was going on. ummm... did you see the huge grin on billy's face at the start of the show? he looked pumped as!! and i thought BWBW was awesome. his scream was amazing. did not seem like he was not happy and just "going with the flow" of a big song like that... |

How does the ZOMB work? I can't get the show to download I'm sure it's something really simple, i'm not very technically minded (And yes, i have registred!) |

on torrent sites you usually just copy the link and open it and your bit torrent client will open it and download it

You need to have a bit torrent client like Bit Commet or whatever and you click the link i put in the red box, save or open it (i just open them) then your BT client will open up. It will ask you what files from the torrent you want to download and where you want to save it. Then your laughing. And i really really like acoustic gossamer! |

"I feel for sure that this is going to work out, that in a few years time we wont be looking back on this as sort of mistake." Foxy was saying he is pumped for it.. and WONT look back on this as being a mistake.. your entrie post doesnt seem to agree with that comment though  |

Trev - I think a few people were just confused by your wording, it sounded like you were agreeing with Foxy, but then the rest of your statements didn't match up with that.
