Notes This was my first time seeing the Pumpkins. It was a fantastic show, the band had a lot of energy that night! I remember James had on the coolest shirt and during BWBW Billy actually knocked the mic down at the end! I think my favorite song of the night was "Shame".. it really hit me when I heard it live..

I can't even begin to describe what it was like being 15, and in the same room with a band that I truly adored (and still do!) And I thought it was so generous of the pumpkins to donate so much to charities on this tour.. the woman from Hale House was truly thankful. I only wish that other bands/famous people and the every day citizen could learn from the pumpkins example.

I hope you enjoy this show as much as I did. Peace.
