Iha showed up for a handful of songs at a couple of stops...Jimmy Chamberlin was back for the Manson tour in 2016

HA. One of my good friends was/is in Stabbing Westward and they were the support for DM on that 98 tour, so he got me on the list and I stood behind Billy Corgan in the gated off mix desk area. It was my job to get my friend to the afterparty, which ended up being downstairs at Metro, (I meant Smart Bar, not Raw Bar above) and everyone got shitfaced and I played pool with Fletcher and I think Gore was there. I was told that Dave went straight to the hotel because he was sober and didn't do after parties anymore. Damn, 20 years ago....

Corgan is a grade-A turd. I hope this whole thing fails miserably.

Billy and Darcy are both world-class bullshitters.

Yea, I found the announcing of an arena tour odd as well. They only had one really popular album.

I never really got into them but Zero is badass song to headbang too.

The NBA stadium tour was ambitious to begin with (to be nice) even when D'arcy's involvement was still plausible.
I don't know if the fanbase is really that salty and therefore protesting by not buying tickets, or if Billy's ego has finally
written the proverbial check that his ass can't cash. Let's be honest. No one gives a shit about James, and D'Arcy, other than
some sort of bullshit allegiance to a 'true' reunion. SP has always been Billy, and (mostly) Jimmy.
But announcing that the setlist would be culled exclusively from the James and D'Arcy era, I can see why people have raised their eyebrows. D'Arcy seems like a total whackjob victim mentality trainwreck, and she claims she has all the proof that Billy has lied about including her, but they both seem like total hassles to be around. I don't know who to believe, but I really don't care either.
I am going to the UC, I will probably love it, and I maintain that SP were/are light years ahead of their 90's alt-rock contemporaries.

I should check more of their stuff out. For some reason they never piqued my interest when I was a kid eventhough I liked songs like Zero (one of my favorite ever songs), Bullet With Butterfly Wings and Tonight (beautiful song). I never owned a Pumpkins album though.

Anyone wanna recommend me some good stuff from them that's not one of their hit songs? Their heavier stuff that jams preferably.

Gish, obviously.

Was one of my top five most listened-to albums for over ten years....from college until after I became a dad.

Shit got moved from the Riv
SAD

It got moved from The Riv TO The Vic?
The Vic is like half the size of of the Riv.

Surprised these 2 bands couldn't book the Aragon....my, have times changed.

Saw Jack White last night in Milwaukee. It was one of the best concerts I've seen in a long time. I wasn't sold on his new album, but after seeing him preform some of the tracks I can totally appreciate it. Got a true encore too. House lights up, stage being broken down and he came back out. He has a cell phone ban and it certainly impacted the experience and energy in the room. 3,000 people engaged in the show and not obsessed with checking out what was happening elsewhere. The giant stuffed zebra helped too.

Jack White had been rocking the Rave's Eagles Ballroom for 95 minutes, encore included, when he smiled, lined up with his bandmates at the end of the stage and took a bow.

Then the house lights came on, roadies started stripping the stage and the sound of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" filled the ballroom.

Sorry, Louis. The world was not wonderful. Because there was one huge problem: White hadn't played the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army," arguably the most beloved song he's ever made.

You've been to enough concerts to know once cords are unplugged, lights are on and the music plays, there's no going back.

But the thousands of fans on the ballroom floor would not stand down.
