I can easily say that it was one of the greatest nights in my life. Being a new and young fan (and not in the slightest afraid of admitting it), it was the first SP concert I've ever been to, but it definitely won't be the last.
It wasn't even what I expected...it was way more. From our amazing "Monterrey" song, to Billy's sarcastic and acid sense of humor (even though I'm sure the guy in the 'fake cheap t-shirt' was totally ecstatic that Billy directed a joke to him), it was just beyond words. The connection with the crowd was the warmest that I have ever experienced, and the zarapes and sombreros at the end were a nice detail that meant a whole lot.
It might sound corny, but I couldn't hold the tears during songs like 1979 (beautifully performed acoustic), Tonight, Tonight and not to mention the absolutely EPIC guitar solo at Starla. Simply awesome.
I am young, new, and I bought a fake cheap t-shirt. But even though I wasn't old enough to appreciate the Pumpkin's best times, I believe I still have the right to be a fan now that they're back, don't I?
Thank you so much for the amazing night, and I pray for your return soon...not in 7 or 8 years!
