UPDATE: While the photo above was taken by HU’s own Pins, the Smashing Pumpkins Media Militia is promising photo updates from the Chicago Theatre throughout the day on its Flickr account.

axelease: will there be a liveblog?
We’re trying to figure out something, but I can’t promise that yet.

What are they going to be doing for the third show in Chicago? After they’ve played both “Black Sunshine” and “White Crosses” setlists, anyone know if they’re going to repeat or do something else?

I assume the Friday and Saturday night shows at Auditorium Theatre will follow the regular Black Sunshine White Crosses pattern of the shows tonight and tomorrow at the Chicago Theatre.
At least I hope so, because those are the shows I’m attending.
I’m so excited!!!

According to BC’s blog about the tour, each venue will get its own BS/WC combo.
So:
Night 1: BS
Night 2: WC
Night 3: BS
Night 4: WC

cool!

this is about the last stop of the tour that i’m genuinely interested to see what they do. you have to wonder if, being chicago and being 4 shows, they might have some surprises up their sleeves.

Anybody heard if they are filming this tour?

axelease,
I may or may not liveblog, though I’m not sure if jjb or jilly have anyone else lined up.
Not that I ever post much, but I’ve avoided almost all news about this tour and setlist in an effort to go into the show with an open mind and as little preconception as possible (other than what already exists for me, given my ambivalence to Mach 2 so far).
I will definitely be posting my thoughts on the next two shows at some point, but I’m undecided if it’s better to encapsulate the entire experience at once or in 160 character bursts due to my crappy cell phone.

I was sort of hoping Chicago would get 4 different shows, rather than 2 x 2 shows.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
i vote for 160 character bursts! those capture the excitement best.

Haha, I’m not sure my last liveblog in August captured excitement enough for some people. ;-)

Greetings from Portugal
Just to comment the awesomeness of Jilly’s photos of NYC shows. Great work.
The mighty SP should bring this show to Europe, I think it would be received with more open mind.
Keep on doing this great podcast/blog.
Cheers
Rock on

I only read the liveblogs to see what “new” songs are being played but since there is a predictable setlist for each night, it would probably would be better if pins just told us bout the experience after the show.
Plus, he’ll be most likely be disappointed with the first night “Black Sunshine” show cause it’s essentially the august show that he already did a liveblog bout.

pins: Self-Respecting Brian has a good point — probably better to just give your full impression after the show rather than the 160 character bursts.

By the way, –and this is no joke– the recaptcha on that last comment was “effing Interclub.” Seriously. Strangest RC I’ve had yet.
