The show itself was amazing!!! My 14yo son (and I) are a huge fan of SMASHING pumpkins. He was so excited that Billy was coming to Cincinnati in an intimate setting. We had GA tickets bc the VIP was sold out. We got there early and waited in 90+ degree weather for 3.5 hours and were first in GA line. We had a great spot on the floor. My son was on cloud 9, he was in complete awe of Billy Corgan and loves Kiki. He wanted to make sure we were on her side. My son actually blacked out from being overheated during the second to last song and had to be taken out by security, but when he came to, he just wanted to know what song he missed and if Billy had done an encore. As soon as he started the encore he stood up and all the color came back to his face. He was so happy (other than passing out 🤦🏻♀️) about the night. Oh, and he got one of the guitar picks that Billy threw out. That’s all he wanted to tell his dad when we got home.
