Just uploaded a video to youtube I took from the moshpit during Bullet....

You must have been meters away from me. That fella in the zebra costume must have gone over at least 4 times!

I think i was pretty close too then! I was in a pit for most of the bigger songs. If it helps i was the person with a pretty big Afro . It's real though

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

This thread just made me look at the Manchester setlist.

WHY THE FUCK DID I NOT GO? I HAD A FREE FUCKING TICKET! WHYYYYYYYYYYY?

[Justiceforcedave]

If they were half as good in Manchester as they were in London then you missed a stonker! Seeing them at Wembley made me realise just how good they would have been headlining the Other stage. Still really surprised they didn't .

[Vieuphoria]

They technically did. They had the longer set. It was always pretty clear that The XX were only above them due to the darkness thing.

Glasto, Smashing Pumpkins, Tonight Tonight, first time Ive cried at a gig in 15 years.

[Chinaski_]

I thought they were brilliant at Wembley better than Brixton was and the atmosphere was fantastic. Porcelina for the encore was quite a brilliant surprise, such an incredible song.

There's a live stream of them from Switzerland right now, though the sound blew out for about 10 mins during Space Oddity. http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/live/

Just watching this full-set stream back, still as great as I remember it, although it's a bit upsetting when some of the brilliant new tracks get absolutely no reaction whatsoever, I do sympathise with Billy sometimes, understand why he's such a headcase.

Playing Koko on december 5th. £60 a ticket plus you have to buy a CD but tickets still available at Seetickets.

My favourite band at my favourite festival was truely transcendental - brought a tear to my eye.

Would poop my pants if they were to show up again in 2015.

[LondonTom]

I got quite excited when I saw the Koko gig last night, then saw the price and thought they can stuff it

[russycarps]

£60! fucking hell. If you arent near the front at koko you get shit views too.

[neil999]

thought they were awful at glastonbury, utterly joyless..

[Justiceforcedave]

Although I agree £60 is a pricey gig, I'm always happy to pay a bit more to see a band I love in a smaller venue! I'll use the money I saved not going to see Fleetwood Mac.

Nothing to see here

Going to Koko tomorrow for Thy Art Is Murder and Suicide Silence so should be interesting to see a venue where The Smashing Pumpkins will play.

Wasn't fussed about Oceana but I dig this track from Elegy.

[rawaudioinput]

I don't think I've been to a single gig at KOKO where I haven't felt crushed, horrible venue

[wrongturn]

Yes that's what I'm worried about - KOKO is cosy. But the expense of the tickets will hopefully keep the causal-fan riff raff away.

Like most veteran Corganites, I am starting to get on a bit - my days of mosh ARE OVER. I shall stand, beer in hand, with gentle head-bobbing dignity.

Also, yes, that new song kicks ass.

thing is it isnt `really` the smashing pumpkins is it? its billy corgan and an ever changing lineup of muscians, definitly turned into just a vanity project for the guy

Billy is the Smashing Pumpkins. Always has been.

[Mouseboy11]

Billy is the Smashing Pumpkins. Always has been.

Didn't he write/record the entire debut album or something because the band were whacked out on drugs?
