The world slipped away when Billy Corgan stepped on stage. I felt one with the experience, the throb that beat in my blood, the music that electrified my spirit and the voice that had me enraptured.
What an awesome performance. I was blown away.
Billy played most of his songs from TheFutureEmbrace album and also included a few other rock songs. There was a dazzling electronic light display, two keyboardists and a dancing, very cool drummer.
My favourite part of the show was when Billy came to our side and serenaded us with his guitar. He was so close (we were in the 3rd row from the front). All I could do was grin stupidly and scream and clap. His voice was perfection. He sounds amazing on the album, and phenomenal live.
So the crowd didn't get on their feet until more than half way through the concert, and some idiots had to ruin Billy's intimate talk with us at the end by yelling shit that eventually got Billy fed up, dropping his microphone and walking off the stage in a huff...I didn't get to shake his hand, or be one of the gutsy girls who got onto the stage to hug him...
But...
Billy held my heart and soul as he performed his heart and soul out.
I couldn't ask for more.
I love you, Billy!
Special Shoutouts to Fiona and Dan! I hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as I did!
