56.50!?!?!?
At that price, I hope it’s a better show than the one that they did here at the City Coliseum with Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers (12/10/1991). Billy’s vocals were terrible.
By whatever

yeah, this whole tour is the most shameless money grab of all the 2007 “reunion” tours. Billy and Jimmy figured out they weren’t making any money as Zwan. Solution?: just call it Smashing Pumpkins again and head out to take money from kids who were in diapers when Siamese Dream came out. Any person who was at least 18 in ‘91 should have their heads checked if they are putting down money on this show.
