Billy Corgan @ Stubb's - 9/27/2012
Tea shop owner Billy Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins played a sold-out and completely full Stubb's last night to kick off the American leg of their 'Oceania Tour'. Locals UME opened, and at the end of their set Lauren Larson thanked Billy and SP for making "a dream come true."
SP started off with "Quasar", the first track off of 'Oceania', and played through the entire album (full setlist below). Before jumping into what Billy referred to as "dusty" and classic Pumpkins, they cranked out a solid cover of Bowie's "Space Oddity".
The full performance lasted a little over two-and-a-half hours, including a special multi-song guest appearance by longtime friend and tourmate Jimmy Flemion of The Frogs. They covered T. Rex's "Jeepster" and Jimmy stayed on for "Thirty-Three" as well. Both were dedicated it to Jimmy's brother (and fellow Frog) Dennis who passed away in July.
