The Smashing Pumpkins at UCSD!!!

Last night I was able to see The Smashing Pumpkins perform at the Rimac Arena on the UCSD campus in San Diego.  The Pumpkins have been celebrating their 20th anniversary by doing a full U.S. Tour which if you know anything about them, is a really rare experience these days.  The show was nothing short of amazing.  The band came on promptly at 7:30 P.M. with no opening acts and played for two and half hours straight.  The set list varied songs from the entire past discography, Songs like "Bullet With the Butterfly Wings" and my personal favorite "Eye". They also had tracks from their latest album and latest E.P. and they even threw in a few progressive jams in between it all.  The Smashing Pumpkins are still playing two more shows at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City and a few tickets are still available at the box office.  I recommend going, it is unclear when they will be back again.
