He later said he was joking and they'd switch it up. We'll see tonite.

i wonder if set the controls is one of those pointless jamm-y lengthy "covers" that corgan seems to like to do.. blech.

So is it the same setlist every night?

They've got alternate songs written on the setlists (Gossamer, That's The Way, Pox) but it does appear it's going to be 95% the same setlist every night, if any variation at all.

Nice.

I hope Gossamer is better than the version at the club last year. I hear their Pink Floyd cover is nearly 20 minutes… Not sure if I even have a preference.

I haven't heard the Floyd cover, but I'll wager it's awful. I know for a fact Gossamer is.

surprised that we agree on this.
with the butchering job that corgan did to transmission, i don't think i want to hear set the controls (not a huge fan of that song anyway).
in the future, no one under any circumstances should be allowed to play or perform the song 'rock on'. it's always been terrible whether it was the 70s, 80s or 90s.

very surprised that 1979 isn't in the set.

Will there be an opener for their shows???

No.

good God this means that this show will be over by 9pm. odd

Do you really think they will go on at 7pm? It would be nice if they played longer, but that's doubtful.

any chance that 7:00 is doors, and show starts 8:00 or 8:30?

no it says doors at 6 show at 7

I hope they start a bit later or I'm going to be cutting it close, but it does state in several places doors @ 6, show @ 7. Over by 9:15 if that's the case.

yeah i think the downtown mall has a noise ordinance thing. So all the shows start like that.
