Howard Theatre, Nov. 23, 2016

Yes.
I think he's gotten more confident in what he's presenting and feels more natural being in the spotlight.

There is pretty much no chance that show will sell out right?
and it's all GA

and someone please tell me why they are billing it as ….An Evening with
Can't it just be Peter Hook and the Light

also first time to the Howard…
Can I buy tickebasturd-feeless tickets at the doors (sans fees?)

General Admission - Standing Room

So what's the deal here, is it set up like the State Theater?

there is no chance the show will sell out.. there is a chance if nobody buys their tickets ahead of time that the show will be cancelled…there is also a good chance this show will end up on goldstar I think

you still pay fees even if you buy at the box.. maybe less but still noticeable…

its a really nice place.. I don't know anything about the tables as whenever I've gone (only twice) I've been on the floor…

"An Evening With…" = "haha, fuck you, no opening band. all the money is MINE"

I'm not sure what show you're referring to, but I wish every show was "An Evening With".

Yeah, if a band is going "An Evening With. . ." and plays for 75 minutes, that's one thing. If they go "An Evening With. . ." and do multiple full sets, that's totally different.

Ahem, the Feelies. 2 sets and like 4 encores. So good.

As for the Pumpkins show, it's being billed as "an electro-acoustic evening". So buyer beware.

THIS IS HAPPENING

I love opening bands. I've gotten turned onto so many great groups by seeing them in an opening slot. And there's been times where the headliner was crappy or boring but the night was totally redeemed by a shit-hot opening band.

Billy Corgan annoys the shit out of me. Although I do love the 90's pumpkins. But damn if I would spend money to see them live. I just had to say that out loud.

I saw them at VFest however many years ago that was. That's all I really need from them. I was pretty whelmed.

You can try and be coy but we all realize your user name is a portmanteau of two of their songs.

Back in the day the Pumpkins were a pretty great live band, but they were notoriously hit or miss and most of this was because of Baby Billy Corgan and what kind of mood he'd be in. I've seen his tantrums and it doesn't make for a fun time. I saw the Oceania: Live in NYC DVD and it was pretty okay. I'm glad Jimmy Chamberlin is back. But the only lineup in person I've ever seen is the original 4, and I'm good with that. I'm not interested in hearing any more new music of theirs, and I wouldn't shell out big bucks to see them again. If someone gave me a free ticket, I'd go. I think the Lincoln show has the potential to be cool, especially with Liz Phair opening. I'll be curious to hear how it is.

yleah that reminds me i also saw the pumpkins at lolla 95… and corgan was trumptruming about people throwing water bottles at them … but he was right…

the beasties owned everyone i saw that day though…

They are definitely hit or miss. When he is in the right mood they're unbelievable. Even with the replacement members: those Asheville 2007 shows are some of the best I've ever seen by them. But when he's pissy or decides he doesn't want to play any hits, the thing falls apart.

i'm just hoping Liz and Billy get it on.. and then Liz can be Yoko Ono and Billy can be Yoko Ono and it will be great.
