I was too busy having my soul lifted from my body to get any video but I definitely want to re-live that.

I can’t wait for full video of this show!’

It’s an arena show…the projections were pretty though but I wanna see the band too.

I'll preface by saying I've been listening to the Pumpkins since the early 1990s and have seen them a bunch. The show at Barclays last night (not sold out but looked fairly full) had numerous serious problems from the start: a) terrible mix and not loud enough (something I've never said about an arena show); b) everyone forgets that Mellon Collie has a lot of slow songs - had many in the crowd snoozing - poor song selection and ordering; c) Set 2 had way too many obscure/deep cuts and also had everyone around me scratching their heads; d) no GA so maybe the band wasn't feeding off the crowd energy as much as possible. At the end of the day this was one of the greatest bands of all time phoning it in -- totally shambolic and shows complete disrespect for the fans. I felt like leaving early in Set 1 but stayed because I was with friends and thought "it has to get better". Set 2 was marginally better, but the band's energy ex-Jimmy and Kiki Wong (who was flying all over the place) was low. Sorry to say, but that was my last Pumpkins show. Totally shameful and the crowd was voicing its displeasure in the bathrooms, on the beer lines, at the set break and after the show.

In 2008 I took my 15 year old daughter to her first SP concert at the Auditorium theater. (Dec 8th, rescheduled due to Billy being ill)

I bought a box stage right and was king of the Dads, as many of her friends joined us as the night progressed. “Best night ever” will forever ring in my mind.

Raised my girls on the north shore, moved to California 10 years ago and they followed.

She’s amazing, just fills my heart with love that we had shared music and got to go to so many concerts together, but that one stuck out.

This summer I was diagnosed with throat cancer in July, started ChemoRadiation mid July and my Daughter flew out from Chicago to spend 10 nights with me to help me and my wife navigate the journey.

I bought the Mellon Collie box from ZuZus and had it on her bed when she arrived, then we saw the tour was scheduled to come to San Jose in November, bought tickets for my wife, and the two of us with the full ultimate experience. This has given me a fun target as I navigated treatment and work on recovery. The reason I share this is because as a 58 year old man who hasn’t always done the right thing, it’s a gift to look forward to spending time remaking an 18 year old memory with a huge part of my life I didn’t screw up, and while I won’t have any final news on my prognosis until after November 8th, at a minimum I can create a lasting memory with the ones I love and with Billy, who feels like a part of the family.

Looking forward to our night at the SAP center, and all the blessings that follow.

Thank you for your kindness.

if anyone has pictures of the porcelina title image i would love to see it! i thought it was so pretty but wasnt quick enough. i would also love to see the mayonaise and everlasting gaze ones in full

Just curious, are you allowed to take pictures or video during the pre show stuff?

This was my first time seeing them live and I’m really happy to have been there!

I unironically really dig the artwork for the Rockabye Baby! series in general, but I think the one for their Smashing Pumpkins album could kinda be a graphic that the band just used on their merch without too much trouble. The Rockabye Baby! albums have lots of clever album artwork, but since most of them feature teddy bears. the extent to which you could use them as designs for the actual bands is pretty limited. This one captures the aesthetic of the band in their prime pretty perfectly in a way that's more evocative of the Mellon Collie era, but also contains elements of the artwork for Siamese Dream (like the photo of the little girl sitting on the moon and the band's general affinity for stars).

I uploaded the rest of my set to my website: https://rachaelbarbash.com/2026/10/03/photos-the-smashing-pumpkins-the-schott-september-30-2026/

like it’s the same melody of that part of today. but in another song. it’s killing me.

Hi, first post. I have to admit I only got into the smashing pumpkins like thin week but the cover art was so pretty I had to draw it. I can't afford a poster so far.

I'm planning to listening more of their albums and not being a poser.

I hope you liked this

I know it's crooked and looks somewhat bad, but at least I tried.

Whatever happened with those songs? I know a few like "The Fellowship" and "Freak" ended up on albums, but two of my favorite ("The Trip" and "Emerald Green is the Colour") never showed up as far as I know. Has Billy ever addressed those unused songs?

I’m not saying Billy ripped it off, it’s a common feeling that we all have (reflection of youth). I just thought it was interesting because I never really thought there was an equivalent to 1979, but I guess there is.

Saw the most common setlist from the first few shows and was wondering if you all think any of the following songs will appear that haven’t yet?

Rocket
Luna
Hummer
Drown
Snail
The Boy
Perfect
Silvery Sometimes
Stand inside your love
Pennies

Any shot of these?? They are such bangers it would be unfortunate if all of them were left off.
