The Smashing Pumpkins

Had such a great time watching SP at Gunnersbury Park. The park was easy enough to get to, and quick and easy to get in. Leaving was understandably trickier, but a good effort from staff and local police to help manage the flow of people to the stations. The Smashing Pumpkins were awesome. I won't pretend that Billy's voice is the same as it was 30 years ago, but damn can he still play a guitar! James did most, if not all of the talking and Kiki brings a refreshing new energy to the stage. The setlist was brilliant with all the expected hits, a handful of songs from the last album and some absolute scorchers from Mellon Collie... Stage design, sound, lighting - all great. Hi-def screens either side of the stage were impressive for a temporary venue.
