I saw this Pumpkin tour here in KC last week (Nov 24), and caught the first night, and it was REALLY good. They played tracks from Gish all the way up to Zeitgesit and few more new ones to boot. Yes, James and D'Arcy are no longer members, but the guitarist in James place played just as good if not better, and I am a HUGE James fan from back in the day as well. The girl on bass rocked it as well, and really had no expressions while playing, so she fit D'Arcy's position perfect. The band sounded great, and I was very impressed with the show, so if you get a chance....I lived in Chicago back when the Pumpkins were "breaking up", and was able to see both Aragon shows, and these new shows were very comparable to me. Also, I was doing some searching online, and I came across this SP website where they are recording it looks like all of their shows in MP3 or FLAC format, and you can buy a download for the whole show. Once the KC shows are up, I'll definitely support them, and I think that it is a pretty good idea. Looking at the website, their first couple Chicago shows at the Chicago Theater on the 18 and 19th are available for download. Enjoy!
