For todays October scare. What strikes terror in the mind of almost all who hear it? It's an icy shriek that pierces right to the bone in it's presence. Is it a Banshee? Is it a Siren? No it's more terrifying than that. The one of a kind howl of a young female person. Are they in danger? Is something horribly wrong? No it's just excitement to see Billy Corgan. I descreamafied this as best I could but there is no fully escaping the the creatures of the night. The tag team of shriekers mostly attack in-between songs so steal yourself for that.
This was called The Sacred and Profane tour and it was to promote the Machina album. Jimmy Chamberlin was back in the band but Darcy was out and replaced with Melissa Auf der Maur from Hole for this tour. The band seemed in a pretty good mood compared to other times I had seen them. No fighting between James Iha and Billy on stage. Lots of songs from Machina and a bunch of older classics. Nice acoustic interlude in the middle. Bullet With Butterfly Wings is played in a heavy doom style and it goes into the oddest cover of Talking Head's "Once in a Lifetime". Billy
announced less than a week after this show that the band was calling it
quits. That lasted until 2007 when he started playing as the Smashing
Pumpkins again.
Balch is a big auditorium and sounds wasn't amazing but for that room I think they did a pretty good job and this is an enjoyable listen. Minus the shrieking of course. Enjoy.
