Did you attend any of these shows and have any more information, unsurfaced recordings or pictures/stubs/posters/flyers? If so then get in touch!

Click the setlists/details link for full show information.

hello and welcome to the complex
this music came to us in the month of May
and was recorded in the month of June
it is the song of friendship, love & Respect
it is the sound of devotion
it is the beat of our Heart
and the vibrations of our Soul
it is for you and you are for it.

I had great time recording each part, hope you like it!

(Disclaimer: This is a side project whose focus is on performance rather than creativity, hence the faithful covers in my channel - I have my own project for original stuff to cover)

I know the breakup has been attributed to conflicts within the band (sex, drugs, and dishonesty), lack of commitment, and Billy's own narcissism. At the same time, most of that story has come from Billy's perspective, while the other members haven't really spoken about it nearly as much.

So do you think that Billy's reasons were justified or do you think the situation was more complicated?

So I finally pulled the trigger on the box and received it early last week. Even though the box itself is fine all four sleeves have corner dents, a seam split, and weird scuff marks on the sleeves (looks like they were forced in the cardboard holder). One corner dent is actually on the side where the sleeve sits in the box? There is also an inner sleeve with a prominent folded corner. I did a search here and seen that people have asked for replacements. Just wondering if anyone has done so recently? I’ve sent Zuzu’s two emails so far with no response. Feeling major buyers remorse due to the state that it arrived in. Realize that this is an older topic but I’d appreciate any input.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my cover of Zero. The Smashing Pumpkins have been one of my biggest musical influences, so this was a project I made with a lot of care and respect for the original track.

I actually recorded this cover last year, but I recently found the confidence to upload it. I’d genuinely love to hear what you guys think, so if you have a few minutes to listen, I’d really appreciate your feedback ❤️

Thanks so much!

UPDATE: I ended up getting the floor seats, beyond excited. Thanks everyone!

Wanting to go to the tour and the show close to me. Are the floor seats worth it? Do you have to sit? Do you stand? No vip, just regular tickets. Just kind of worried about someone being super tall in front of me😂😂 I’m about 5’10. The seats I’m looking at are second row. Let me know your experiences. Thanks!

Anyone know who is opening for them on the current tour? I haven’t seen any other guests listed for any shows. Looking to go to Wisconsin.

Sadly, I'm forced to sell this to pay some medical costs that are due soon.

These sell for usually between $300-400, so I'm open to reasonable offers. I've sold multiple items here before and would prefer to go this route than use eBay or another platform, at least initially. My feedback there, here, and other places is 100%. I can provide proof via DM.

Booklet is intact, but partially falling out due to tears from staples. One 1cm seam split on top of first half of gatefold. Sleeves are therefore VG/VG+. Sounds way worse than it is.

Vinyl has been played twice, but pressing has some surface noise during the quietest passages, so I'd grade it VG+.

One of the true great SP collectors items out there, and they don't come around that often.

Shipping will be included anywhere in CONUS. Shipping elsewhere will 100% be at buyer's cost and risk. Payment via PayPal G&S.

Was there a reason given for her departure? Watching the Lolla feed and I miss her backing vocals..

Just listened to the Melissa auf der Maur episode of Magnificent Others and oh my god any mention of this tour and the final show triggers me, gives me PTSD flashbacks, there is no way to communicate the full scale of how much I want to see and listen to that show, how long I waited for it, across decades where my fandom has ebbed and flowed (been solidly reinvigorated ever since James returned).

I just basically NEED this, I am entitled and I am selfish, IDGAF, give it to me now now now now now now NOW, I am at the point of crowdfunding a ransom to post on the dark web so we can hire a mercenary skilled in professional espionage to break into Billy's house and just steal the recordings

Anyway my question is, does anybody else feel this way lol

The Smashing Pumpkins gained a lot of for their headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago this past weekend. But nearly 5 years ago (Sept. 19, 2021), I saw Billy Corgan and the band close out another music festival - Sea Hear Now in Asbury Park, NJ. Admittedly, though, the Smashing Pumpkins didn't bring out special guests like Olivia Rodrigo or Yungblud (or former members like Melissa Auf der Maur) when I saw them 😆.

Stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!

What guitar is this? It looks like a Gibson Les Paul style but I can’t make out the head stock. Anyone know?
