  • The Indiana concert was weak... they didnt play the favorites and the encore was a complete bore! Urgghghghg! A waste of driving to Indiana. Hopefully they change the playlist and play songs that people want to hear.

  • Could not disagree more...the Indiana concert was great! Yeah, they didn\'t play ALL the greatest hits stuff...that\'s why it was great! If you don\'t want any variety on your Pumpkins playlist, buy the CDs and stay home so the rest of us can enjoy the live show. And the encore was great because it was the band just having fun. Absolutely worth the ticket price and I\'d do it all over again, given the chance.

  • The Indaina show was OK. The sound was not great (Echo’s and mixing/feedback problems), the floor is not stable (It’’s like a Trampoline) I thought I might die falling on the craps table below. The set list was identical to the Iowa show. Way overpriced! (The Venue is a snore)
