On April 4th 1992 Reflex magazine subscribers were treated with a Smashing Pumpkins 7″ flexi vinyl with the song Daughter on. The recording of Daughter on the flexi was a minute longer than the one found on the Moon tape.

Live Blog: Completed

The Smashing Pumpkins will be taking the stage shortly in Madrid. Spain. And although we will not be in attendance we will live vicariously by those who are attendance via twitter. We encourage you to check out ByStarlight.org Tour Blog for reviews and more.

The first bit of news we have is it appears 50 more tickets are being sold at the door to this sold out show.

A picture inside the venue.

Another picture of the tiny stage the Pumpkins will be performing on very soon!

Rumor setlist is: Zero, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Starla, The Beginning is the End is the Beginning, Quasar, Panopticon, Tonight Tonight, Ava Adore, Neverlost, The Everlasting Gaze, Oceania, 1979, Cherub Rock, Muzzle

And they did indeed open with ZERO (confirmed)

And then moved on to BWBW.

Interesting. now Today is being played apparently. (confirmed)

Starla makes it appearance. (the rumored set list appears to be close to correct)

Our first picture from tonight! (as well as a blurry one one). and yet another picture.

With the silence that has seem to over taken twitter it might be right to assume they are playing Quasar, Panopticon.. here is a new picture

And it appears we are back on track.. Tonight, Tonight. (confirmed)

Ava Adore and the fans are going wild (and is that who i think that is doing security)

Hmm, they might be played a few less known songs now they are playing The Everlasting Gaze! It’s been 4 years since this song was last played.

Another kind of fuzzy picture and another (from the 2nd picture you can tell Oceania was played)

perhaps some banter by Billy?

1979!

Can you say The Aeroplane Flies High (not the song..)

a fairly decent picture from tonight

Disarm is being played. (plus a new picture and another new picture)

Oh boy it’s cover time. seems to be a a David Bowie song. Space Oddity.

One more picture, as this fan calls “the end” (maybe a reference to the show over or another song, not sure)

Oh a good close up picture!

Report has surfaced that after Disarm was XYU!, followed by Bowie’s Space Oddity and Kiss’ Black Diamond.

Sounds as though that’s the end of the show. For more info make sure to check the ByStarlight.org tour page.

The following quotes are based off of translations by Google Translate.

In a new interview with Jenesaipop.com Billy was asked about the sound of Oceania live compared to the studio release to which he said “it is difficult to explain, on the album is more beauty than you can actually find live, because everything live to be easier. Things like delays, include a third or fourth guitar … Even if you could recreate every detail on the stage, it would be lost.”

When asked about if Oceania is still part of Teargarden

“I still consider it part of ‘Teargarden’. It is still important to me since we are running the project, but I think ‘Oceania’ would not have been possible without all you’ve done in ‘Teargarden’. To me it’s like an evolution back to a place I want to make records and I am so excited about music as it was when I was twenty. It is taking me a while to find a truly organic and natural from which to make music again and not the typical nonsense for the recording industry.”

When asked about how Oceania worked with the 11 EPs plan for Teargarden Billy explained

“instead of just one song at a time and releasing several EP’s decided to do it all on one disc. When everything said at the beginning of the EP’s had other ideas about what would be other ways to reach fans and stay creatively engaged, some worked and others did not at all. I do not think Smashing Pumpkins fans were responding in a realistic way and return to the idea of an album I would put in the center again to try to make the audience looked our work in a different light because of the way we were running we were forgetting about very easily. A disc looks very official sounding, but an EP is like “oh, is a single” or “four songs”. You get respect through that important to you from the disk. And compare my music with someone who has never had a hit or who just released his first album and fame are given a certain level of importance that is not real, is a way to seek other care. I know how to make music, I did pop music, but when you try to create good music and psychedelic rock requires more than five seconds and the disposable music culture today how to make people pay more attention is confront them with a disk . If for example I teach a song, instead of a hard, people tend to look at it differently if it is within a disk, but still the same song. I have yet to find different ways to make people listen to music, is not as simple as whether good or bad because a lot of good music that nobody listens.”

Asked if he thinks he might end up being bored with the idea of Teargarden

“Not at all. Because the reason I wanted to do this project because … Imagine ‘Teargarden by Kaleidyscope’ is finished, if talking to someone about it would be like “look, I started here and ended there and if you follow this path you can see that something has happened from here to there. ” That was the reason for doing ‘Teargarden’ I want to start here and end there and the person who listens to hear the trip. It’s a bit more complicated than simply listen to three albums in a row. Because it’s all linked, there are songs of ‘Oceania’ to take you back to the beginning of ‘Teargarden’. Not released but I wrote, you know? There is a kind of circular route in this work that connects everything ‘Teargarden’. With respect to how the mainstream do not care if you believe me or not. If you believe in ‘Teargarden’ or not, really do not care, I just want people to hear the music.”

Billy also says he has mainly been listening to classical and rarely listens to new artist. The interview goes on to end with talk about the Siamese Dream and the reissues.

An alternate studio take of X.Y.U (also known as spum) will be added to the Mellon Collie reissue according to a recent tweet by Billy Corgan. There are also plans to release a different X.Y.U. take via SPRC.
