From an email sent out by the soundboard-recording distributors:
LiveSmashingPumpkins.com purchase of the 11/16/08 Connecticut show. We regret to inform you that due to technical difficulties, we will not be able to release this show. We welcome you to choose any other show on the tour as a replacement. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Wow, I was actually planning on buying this one after we talked about it on the podcast. I guess the lesson here is make sure we still get audience tapers at the shows (thanks pzane!).

Man, this is a real bummer. The one show I was at. Well, anyone know if another show has had the same (or a very similar) setlist?

Does this mean they’ll discount the crazy expensive package deal now?
Glad Zach’s tape is so good. :)

I still think the pricing is rediculous and I am not 100% happy with what I got for the price paid

Epic fail! I was in the front row and this was the best show of the tour in my opinion. This totally sucks!

I bet the Mohegan Tribe asked for a cut of the profits. They sure are in a curry to blame it on ‘technical difficulties.’
Oh, wait. Wrong kind of Indian pun.
reC: “social touched”

Yes, I am so grateful for all you tapers! (Bless your kind souls.) …Now does this mean I get a refund from I Love All Access (who have promised the download as part of the package)?? We were already denied any access to sound check. (No complaints about the meet and greet, though!!)

This totally sucks. I was at that show!
My first thought is that they don’t want to immortalize all those boos from lame “fans”, but during the concert, I was actually thinking the show may not be released ’cause Billy’s amp seemed to be having problems. A few songs in, it started sounding weird, and even Billy looked around and had to shrug his shoulders.
I feel bad for those people who bought the 5 Star VIP deal though. No soundcheck? No live copy of the concert? That would suck. VIP ticket holders at the other shows got way more for the same price.

Yep…it sucks but I am more than happy with getting to talk to Billy before the show and getting front row center seats. I am REALLY disappointed not to have a perfect SBD recording of this show as I really felt it was a great setlist and epic performance by the band.

Damn this sucks. i had 4 star, got a keychain and a patch and 2nd row center seats. Im calling for my money back. Ill update tomorrow.
