Non musical highlights:
- Billy called these two girls down from the balcony to sit neat him in the front row
-Some old guy announced that this (the first weekend of August) to be now and forever known as the smashing pumpkins weekend (do to the excessive amount of charity the pumpkins have been doing for the hale house), so mark your calendars

Musical highlights:
-A sort of psudo-clasical piano solo in the middle of Ava adore
-To Sheila was wicked hard-core (distorted)
-2 minute drum intro to bullet with butterfly wings toward the end of transmission Billy stared to dance and then went into the David bowie song "lets dance"
-at the very end Billy got lots of people from the front row to come up and play their instruments (it actually sounded good).
-lots of guitar solo's especially since there's only one on the album
-no stupid digital drums under Billy in the beginning of tear

I tried to bootleg the show but it was my first attempt at bootlegging ever and so I failed I only got half of Tonight tonight, half of annie-dog and all of thru the eyes of ruby....well im going back tomorrow and i will try again.
