show notes: this was an epic show on numerous levels.

I remember the show starting, and then not even an hour and a half later it was 'over'...like wtf?

and then the first encore was played...and then the people started to file out of the arena.

so, as you can hear on the tape, I went from my near half-court elevated seats down onto the floor...and that's when the real craziness ensued, as you can see we got a 2nd and 3rd encore!!!

will just let the music do the talking here, as the textures over the course of the evening that were captured were pretty amazing (just listen to the samples)

only saw the Pumpkins twice, and both times were epic shows....the other one should be uploaded (reseeded) soon...

he's smashing and dashing, just don't call him a squash. he goes by dandrew in these parts, and you *could* say "thanks Dan" for all he does.

in my case, however, whatever feels good, just do it.

back to the melting pot...what could be next?

who knows?
