Billy to perform 'The Beatles' with Cheap Trick

[sunky]

From smashingpumpkins.com:

On Saturday, June 28th, Cheap Trick will be performing the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at the Hollywood Bowl with a few special guests.

One of those guests that we can announce is none other that front man of the Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan.

This is a one-time show so it's sure to be a special night!

From Hollywoodbowl.com
"Cheap Trick and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra celebrate the rock masterpiece one more time in a repeat of last year's sold-out concerts. As before, Sgt. Pepper's will be performed in its entirety, plus other Beatles favorites."

So what song would you want to hear Billy perform?

Im hoping Billy sings, would love to hear him sing "A Day in the Life" or "With a Little Help from My Friends"

So exciting!

Dang!
That will be unreal!

Id love to hear Bill do With A Little Help or Lucy
Thatd be nuts!

This is amazing news in my opinion - The only downside is there's probably a limit of what songs you would want him to do, I'd probably say A Day In The Life as well, just to see how he does it...

[scotopic lux]

yeah A Day In The Life would be pretty damn cool!

4:47 PM - First SP.com article: Billy in the Sky with Diamonds
Current mood: amused

Sunky, one of the currently revealed Pumpkins Media Militia writers, has posted the first official SP.com article. It is a review and investigation of Billy's recent contribution to Cheap Trick's Sgt. Pepper's Revisited concert Jun 28th at the Hollywood Bowl.

There is plenty of insight into The Smashing Pumpkins' history with Cheap Trick, The Beatles, and even a little Eddie Vedder.
