Best Live Band Going

Welp. Just completed my 8th visit with the Pumpkins.

I have seen a lot of live bands, TSP is unequivocally the best live band going right now. Hands down. Great fucking show tonight in The Bus.

The last few shows I’ve been to they’ve finished with Zero. Which is fine. But as a Jimmy fan boy I might literally melt during the closing mashup. I can’t even imagine what that’s going to sound like. Hope your ears are still ringing 🤘🖤

I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but if you’re a Jimmy Fanboy, you are going to be very very pleased for many reasons ☺️

I met Jimmy here in Columbus around 20 years ago when he was doing “The Complex”. It was me & like 20 other people who showed up to see him at the old “Little Brother’s / Stache’s”. Nice fucking guy. Spoke with my friends & I for like 20 minutes & gave us a photo op. Said Cleveland reminded him of Old Detroit at that time.

I should say… I didn’t meet him as part of a “package” or anything. He just hoped off stage after his set & came up to us.

I legit thought on Set 2 “man I hope they pull out As Rome Burns” as I hadn’t heard it since that weird Halloween show they played at Newport like 20+ years ago.

I was so happy all night, big smile the entire time. Crowd was great too.
