Sing with me: "Sunday was the worst day... that I've ever known"

For the Smashing Pumpkins concert on Sunday, we got there (Red Rocks) early and we got seats RIGHT in front of the sound guys and so there was nobody behind us. GREAT "seats"...



And the Pumpkins concert S-U-C-K-E-D! The opening band had 10 times more energy in them. The music was ok... Billy's voice didn't suck. But he spent almost half the night getting intentional feedback from the speakers by standing in front of them. Artsy stuff... that sucked.

And whoever did the lighting must have been told to intentionally blind the audience AND not to light the band in ANY WAY AT ANY TIME. You could see two things... jack and squat.

Then people started coming from other rows and were standing in front of us and next to us crowding us... like they had been there the whole time and we were just saving their place. PISSED ME THE F*** OFF!

SUCKED!

SUCKED!

SUCKED!

SUCKED!

SUCKED!


The only good thing was this lovely couple that we met who actually won concert tickets, airplane tickets, and hotel room from a radio contest in Dallas! Great couple.



I am NEVER going to another concert there and I am very close to not going to another concert ever... I mean, why go to a loud venue, with people that are rude, and expensive swag... when you can hear their music at home? At least TMBG put on a show. They talked to the audience... they spiced things up... made it fun.

The Pumpkins just played. Bo-ring.

Monday, however, really made up for it. Monday ROCKED.
