This was my 5th Smashing Pumpkins concert, i think i attended all concerts they did in Switzerland ever! But this concert was by far the longest. 2,5 Hours and about 28 Songs! A dream come true for every SP-Fan.

What I like about any SP concert is that they are all totally different. Billy really thinks about his setlists before every tour, he not only plays their greates hits like so many other bands out there.

In Zurich, the band was in a very good condition. The sound was heavy and precise, Billy's voice sounded great. Interestingly, the attendance was rather weak. The Hallenstadion was about half full, meaning about 6000-7000 people attending the pumpkins. I liked that, because it gave the concert quite an intimate feeling.

The Setlist was very cool, i would have liked some more old songs but ok. My personal highlight was Mayonaise, a song that i never heard on a SP live gig before and the Monster-Version of Cash car star, which had several other song elements in it, e.g. an iron maiden guitar lick...see spfc.org for details.

I am already looking forward to the next SP concert in Switzerland. One thing is for sure, i will be there!
