review by Parke Puterbaugh.
that Parke describes this musical journey "among the most memorable ever" of his experience deserves our attention, as he shares a rich and vast history of music experience to draw from to make this distinction noteworthy.
past senior editor and writer for Rolling Stone... "He has been a freelance curatorial assistant and writer for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland since its inception. He has annotated more than 30 albums for such labels as Rhino Records, Time-Life Music, and Sony Music. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Puterbaugh holds bachelor's degrees in English and Sociology and a master's degree in Environmental Science, with an emphasis on the study of shorelines."

when "the god's" took "hold":
"But then something changed.
The sound quality in the auditorium began to improve. A three-song acoustic interlude seemed to settle and focus the group. Corgan and Chamberlin locked into a tight groove, guitar and drums moving as one with an indomitable force.
The music evinced a greater sense of dynamics, and when the Pumpkins did accelerate into some ferocious, ripping song or section, it seemed more controlled than chaotic.
The second half of the concert was the best hour of rock music I've witnessed all year, and among the most memorable ever.
And those lights! During the dicey first half, the light show threatened to upstage the band.
Once the group found their groove, the lights complemented the music and intensified the overall experience almost to the point of synesthesia.
Eight triangular lighting rigs hung overhead, with four more on the floor. They'd flash different patterns -- triangles, dots, patterns -- in a rapidly oscillating array of neon-bright colors.
The overall effect was to make the audience feel as if they'd tripped through some portal into the future...."
