Smashing Pumpkins New York Setlist and Thoughts
The Smashing Pumpkins are on a 20th Anniversary tour of the United
States. They (Corgan and Chamberlin) have decided to do two night
stints with widely differing setlists each night.
There are several reports about these shows. Some reviews claim
that it is a circle jerk for Corgan and Chamberlin (my words and take
on things, not theirs). Some are reporting that Billy went on an
extended 40 minute jam session and refused to play any of the hits.
Night one of the two night stint is called "White Crosses." Night
two is entitled "Black Sunshine." Now take a look at White Crosses
setlist:
'Ava Adore'
'Cupid De Locke'
'1979'
'99 Floors'
'Owata'
'Sunkissed'
'Soma'
'Cherub Rock'
'Zero'
'Bodies'
'Crestfallen'
'I Of The Mourning'
'A Song For A Son'
'Landslide'
'Disarm'
'MCIS Theme'
'Galapogos'
'Gossamer'
'As Rome Burns'
'The Sounds Of Science'
'The March Hare/Suffer'
'Age Of Innocence'
'That's The Way (My Love Is)'
'I Am One'
'Cupid De Locke'
'1979'
'99 Floors'
'Owata'
'Sunkissed'
'Soma'
'Cherub Rock'
'Zero'
'Bodies'
'Crestfallen'
'I Of The Mourning'
'A Song For A Son'
'Landslide'
'Disarm'
'MCIS Theme'
'Galapogos'
'Gossamer'
'As Rome Burns'
'The Sounds Of Science'
'The March Hare/Suffer'
'Age Of Innocence'
'That's The Way (My Love Is)'
'I Am One'
That is one KICK ASS setlist. It has some hits (1979,
Disarm, Landslide [Fleetwood Mac cover], Cherub Rock), but then has some
great lesser heard songs like "Cupid De Locke" and "Galapogos" (both
from Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness).

Again, a fantastic setlist with hits (Today, Bullet with Butterfly
Wings, Tonight Tonight) and some lesser known songs like We Only Come
Out At Night [Mellon Collie] and Once Upon A Time [Adore]. I think if
you are a true Pumpkins fan, both nights are not to be missed. You
don't have much time to see them though. Here are the remaining tour
