Media Review

“They’ve just crushed a true-to-form resurrection of Frail and Bedazzled from 1994′s b-sides collection Pisces Iscariot, closing with a fierce guitar duel that careened from thrashing jags into blistering harmonics out to transcendent squeal. Jeff Schroeder’s head is down, facing his axe, but Corgan is leaning back with arms spread, looking like an angel of the apocalypse, staring at the rafters and soaking up the crowd’s terrific screams.” – Chris Martins from SPIN Magazine

Fan Reviews

“As far as the new songs, they had some AWESOME solos in them and they continued with the theme of the night, which was PSYCHEDELIC EXTREME. One new song sounded very catchy, and another sounded VERY heavy. Hard to describe what a song sounds like, especially since I am new to Oceania songs.” - Samuel Mills

“The Pumpkins just delivered the most face melting, mind blowing, run me over with a semi-truck 1000 times hard hitting concert I’ve ever ever seen, and I’ve been to my share. The audience AFTER the encore was deafening for what felt like 5 minutes.” - Jase

“I went with a friend who listens to KROQ and only knows the hit songs. So he only knew three songs (didn’t know Siva), but thought it was a good show. I told him that he may not realize it, but he just saw one of the most epic concerts ever. Song after song, I was just thinking “you’ve got to be kidding me, this isn’t possible.” Never thought I’d hear Ruby live. That was the high point for me. They definitely left the crowd wanting more. People hung around cheering for more after Bullet. Even when the crew came on stage people were still cheering for another encore. After a couple of minutes one of the roadies removed Nicole’s mike and we knew it was over.” - ZivotSon

“Easily one of the top 3 SP shows I’ve been able to attend out of about 25ish. I felt like I was robbing a bank with this setlist.” - Jcoriha

“I was there and I have to say that I wasn’t expecting them to be even a shadow of the original band. Boy was I wrong, they knocked my socks off, along with the shirt of the girl standing behind me.” - Steve Stroup
