The Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour kicked off on July 11th and has been receiving
stellar reviews in every city. The band has brought back original guitarist
James Iha and have created an incredible show showcasing those first 5 LP's
he wrote and recorded on. Unfortunately, The Pumpkins were unable to get D'arcy
Wretzky back in the band and a ton of drama did pop up surrounding the
announcement of the tour in early '18. Based on D'arcy's and Billy's comments,
I wouldn't place a bet on any reunion of any kind with her. Regardless, with 3
of the 4 original members performing 31 songs clocking in at just over 3 hours,
I don't see how anyone could walk away from this show feeling let down. The
sound was huge (a bit bass heavy, but huge!), BC changed into different costumes,
and the visuals were stunning including newly filmed pieces playing in the
background. The sound was fairly good but extremely bass heavy. I did fix this
the best I could in post. Huge thanks goes out to the lovely couple in row L
who switched me seats prior to Metric's set. This was one of those rare
occasions where my tickets were too close! The stack was literally right over
my head. We only moved back 3 rows (from H), but it made a world of a difference.
The crowd around me was fairly respectful during the 3 hour set, however there
were some talkers behind me at various points of the show. Barely audible unless
you are using headphones. I did raise some levels on the quieter songs to better
the listening experience. Also, you will hear some pre-recorded interludes during
the show featuring Mark McGrath introducing songs and even James Iha once. This
ticket cost me $152.95 (w/ all fees, which I admit was high), but BC and the
Pumpkins gave us all they had up there and I respect that. Had this been a 90-100
minute plain-jane set, I would have felt a little ripped off. For once, thankfully,
I didn't feel that way. Enjoy this one.
