perfect way to remember show
Recieved the blu-ray on the day it was released since I had pre-ordered it. I have seen the Pumpkins in concert several times including the Oceania tour. Great editing and filming of the concert. All the concerts on the tour started by playing the Oceania album from start to finish, then a nice mix of greatest hits. My favorite was the slow tempo version of Hummer that was only on the set list of the last few dates of the tour. The camera angles were a nice mix of crowd shots, close up of the band members playing, and the center stage view that included the globe hanging over the drummer that had neat video feeds on it. Since the concert was the one in New York city that was originally scheduled for Halloween night and got re scheduled because of Hurricane Sandy, they included shots of the New York city subway system to tie it together with the Brooklyn setting. However they showed several scenes of the Washington DC subway system mixed in for some reason. Great show, Great disk
Can't help myself...
I know this video doesn't come out for 53 days (not that I'm counting), but I just have to say how excited I am that SP have decided to give us a high quality concert video from the recent tour. I was lucky enough to have seen them during the Oceania tour, and it was amazing. Extremely powerful. Reminded me a bit of a show I saw of them back in 1996 during the MCIS tour. The music felt so raw back then, and it still does now. The new band lineup is incredible. Mike's take on the drums brings something new, even to the old songs -- and I love it every bit as much as I did back when Jimmy was on the kit.
I have no doubt that the quality of this video will be mind-blowing. Can't wait to slow-motion and zoom in on Billy's fingers during solos, especially when he's rocking phasers on the solo to Oceania. This is going to be awesome!
So proud of my favorite band (err, Billy) for sticking to his music, fans, and truth through all these years.
Blu-ray doesn't come with CD??
The DVD of this concert includes audio CDs, but yet, the Blu-ray does Not come with CDs. So, if a fan wants the CDs + the Blu-ray, we have to buy TWO DIFFERENT ITEMS?? WTF?? Lame. Marketing fail. ...or, marketing Success, depending which side you're on! :P
