Lee:

That may be your experience, but mine was different. The Pumpkins live were
as dynamic and powerful, reminiscent of The Who in many ways, and I've seen
The Who on four different tours starting in 1975 with Keith Moon. As for
your friend who can't get rid of his Pumpkins CDs, have him contact me
because I can't keep them in my store for more than a week.

Jim:

Perhaps I got lucky with the show I saw. I have seen plenty of major bands,
from the Stones to Widespread Panic to the Kinks to the Stone Temple Pilots
to Zeppelin and of course The Who, and the Pumpkins show I saw was
definitely a major band level show, and the only flaw was it was too short.

Here here! Gish and Siamese Dream are pretty damned good too.

Justin:

What do you expect from a post-Green Fleetwood Suck song? Now THAT band is
an embarrassment!
