NME errors aside, I can't see how you can be a Pumpkins fan and NOT be impressed. Okay they didn't play 'Cherub Rock', but they DID play 'Today', 'Tonight Tonight', 'Ava Adore', 'Stand Inside Your Love', 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings' AND '1979'. Out of 28 songs they played 11 singles. That's pretty good for me. Smashing Pumpkins have never been about playing the hits, this is probably the most singles-based setlist they've ever played! Besides you also had the non-single oldies and unexpected songs ('Porcelina', 'Mayonaise', 'Daydream', 'Wound') the cream of the new album, an Iron maiden Intro and a flipping Echo and The Bunnymen cover. There is literally nothing to complain about!

Hang on...that's wrong. The song with Jimmy (who WASN'T a 'founder' of the band: he was the last to join) was 'Perfect', and they didn't play 'Cherub Rock'. The set was: * Porcelina of the Vast Oceans * Behold! the Night Mare * Bring the Light * Tonight, Tonight * Mayonaise * Try, Try, Try * Superchrist * (Come On) Let's Go! * Stellar * Perfect * Lily * The Rose March * Today * Tarantula * Stand Inside Your Love * Ava Adore * Drown * Bullet with Butterfly Wings * Call the Shots [Xenomania] (tease) * 1979 * That's the Way (My Love Is) * My Blue Heaven [Whiting/Donaldson] * The Everlasting Gaze * Cash Car Star * > Easy Livin' [Uriah Heep] * > Foreplay [Boston] * > For What It's Worth [] > Intro from Wasted Years [Iron Maiden] (tease) * Daydream * Wound * United States Encore: * Lips Like Sugar [Echo and the Bunnymen] Sort it out NME!
