After initially disagreeing when I first saw you tweet that, and since then having given it a proper listen again, I may have to agree

The show is even better. They nail every single song and Billy is on fire. Too bad the quality of the show is only average, a B at best. This is one of those shows where you overlook the quality because the show is so damn good.

The previous night is incredible too:

----------------------------------
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

03. Jellybelly
04. Rhinoceros
05. Tonight, Tonight
06. Zero
07. Fuck You
08. Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
09. Rocket
10. Thirty-three
11. Bullet With Butterfly Wings

12. By Starlight
13. Siva

Cd 2:
encore 2:

It's too bad that recording sucks and is incomplete. All these shows are just freaking amazing.

Is it just me, or is it odd how any hint of a song is listed in online Pumpkins setlists as a tease more than for other bands? Why is this?

No clue. It could just be the way the online community of that band organizes their setlists; some setlist people like to list every tease, no matter how small.

During this tour the Billy and James were screwing around a lot with different songs during their set. Take this show, from the same tour:

Maybe Soma or Mayonaise?

Mayonnaise is probably closest. It's a pretty great song.

A Brief History of Billy Corgan Losing His Goddamn Mind

This is an admirable timeline, but it leaves out my favorite era: the couple of years or so immediately following Zwan. Jesus obsession, blog rants about God and fame, wild accusations towards David Pajo and Paz Lenchantin ("promiscuous drug addicts!"). Man. Wonder if that blog is archived somewhere.

It's the best SP album since Machina...

The Aeroplane>Silverfuck combo back then was usually the final encore, where they just come back and jam for 45 minutes. When I saw them in Dec. 96, they did this even after the house lights came on and 1/3 of the crowd left. I was almost out the door.

Billy Corgan Releasing Experimental LP AEGEA in Coming Weeks for $60
By Evan Minsker on April 9, 2014 at 12:35 a.m.

The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan has been hosting ambient/experimental performances at his suburban Chicago tea shop Madame ZuZu's. Today, Corgan has announced that in the next six to eight weeks, he'll release AEGEA. It's a private press experimental record that will set you back $59.95 (not including shipping).

The album consists of experimental recordings Corgan made in 2007. He writes:

“As a work, AEGEA is experimental in nature, and comes across as more a soundtrack to some lost foreign film than the kind of music I’m usually associated with. Listening back I quite like how AEGEA goes along, as it has qualities that are both meditative and alien; but not alienating.”

The first pressing comes in an edition of 250, each hand-numbered and annotated by Corgan. If you want to skip shipping costs, you can also buy the record at Madame ZuZu's while supplies last.
