new Smashing Pumpkins revealed -- 2007 Pinkpop Festival
undisputed wes reports....
After first revealing themselves in Paris the other day, the reunited new Smashing Pumpkins played their third new-lineup-first-gigs-since-2000 show today (May 28, 2007) at the legendary Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands. It's the oldest annual festival in the world, and has been running for 38 years straight in a town not far from where I grew up.

* Ginger Reyes formerly of the Halo Friendlies
Other artists at this year's Pinkpop included Iggy & The Stooges ('Electric Chair' live video), Arctic Monkeys, Muse (awesome pic, live fan video of 'Invincible'), Scissor Sisters, Five O'Clock Heroes (interview, pic), Snow Patrol pic, live fan video of 'Shut Your Eyes'), Maximo Park ('Apply Some Pressure' live video), Linkin Park, Macy Gray (here hilariously labeled as Amy Winehouse), The Fratellis ('Chelsea Dagger' live video), Evanescence (painful live video), Korn ('Freak on a Leash' and 'Blind' live video), Dave Matthews Band 'Don't Drink The Water' live video), The Kooks ('Sabbator' live video), The Magic Numbers ('I See You, You See Me' live video), Maria Mena (live acoustic sessions video, Paolo Nutini (55 to 1 live video, Wolfmother (Woman live video), Gogol Bordello (2nd band in this live fan video with annoying intro), Razorlight ('In the City' live video), Marilyn Manson (pic), 30 Seconds To Mars (video), and more here, and here.
Oxfam took even more pictures. Amy Winehouse was scheduled to play but she called in sick. What else is new?
Most bands allowed their performance to be streamed live on Dutch radio except for 30 Seconds To Mars (potentially REALLY embarrassing?), and The Smashing Pumpkins (nervous because it was their third show?).

Has every bass player of the Smashing Pumpkins been a woman? Have they had any bass players other than D'Arcy Whatsername, Melissa auf der Maur and this one?
By the way, if you go through the trouble of italicizing titles, only album titles should be italicized, not song titles.

Oh, and Billy looks like a tool, unless that album had some local cultural significance.

als je toch in de buurt van Landgraaf opgegroeid bent, dan kan ik je ook wel in het Nederlands bedanken voor deze post :)

nou en of ik er bij was! zie trouwens ook oor.nl, staan ook enkele mooie foto's.
Tof om te zien dat een van de beste blogs gerund wordt door een Nederlander. Zou er bijna chauvinistisch van worden ;-)

Fourth Show actually, and although the stage time was less than the others it was still great, especially Gossamer.

Of all the places to play...? Asheville, NC. It sold out in like 3 minutes. There's a site that has all the info on the asheville shows, it's smasheville.com

Billy, as the Black and White Stripes, hmm. The fingers still fly but he once used to wear T's and have so much hair. Oh doesn't life get complicated.
"Most bands allowed their performance to be streamed live on Dutch radio except for 30 Seconds To Mars (potentially REALLY embarrassing?)"
A skewed implication. I don't know about 'Dutch radio', but 30STM were video webcast to the wide world, like many other bands - and it was one of their best ever festival shows. The fan video link you posted is pretty bad in comparison to the pro streaming that is out there. Surely the wheels on that old, see-the-man-not-the-band wagon must be worn to the axle by now. Yawn.
