November 16, 2007 - Fox Theatre - Atlanta, GA, US Concert review by Sam (mills dot samuel at gmail dot com) Today Stand Inside Your Love That's The Way (My Love Is) Drown Bring The Light Tarantula Starla United States 33 (acoustic) 1979 (acoustic) To Sheila Cherub Rock Ava Adore Zero Shame Bullet w/ Butterfly Wings Heavy Metal Machine w/ Iron Man w/ I Love Rock and Roll encore: Pomp and Circumstances Rocket encore: Doomsday Clock Lucky 13 encore: With Every Light Well, as you can see from the set list, the show was longer and clearly better. Last nights show was hard to beat..but, somehow, they did it! Literally, all of my favorites (well, my favorites they are playing on this tour) were there. Highlights for me were Stand Inside Your Love, Starla, 33, To Sheila, Ava Adore, Zero, Shame, Rocket, Doomsday Clock, and Lucky 13. HOLY CRAP! I couldn't have picked a better set list to follow up the remarkable show they put on last night. Both Atlanta shows were a little over 2 1/2 hours, whereas the majority of the shows this tour (following the residency dates) were around the 2 hour mark. Hell, the Athens, GA show was barely 2 hours...and at the time, I thought THAT show was the shiznit! Other great moments were after To Sheila and after Shame, where Billy added a LOT of extra guitar soloing. BADASS once again! Funny moment: After the second song (Stand Inside Your Love), Billy says, "Atlanta? You have the WORST traffic!" Crowd goes wild in agreement. Corgan, "It's fucking terrible! I should write a song about that!...The Nightmare of Atlanta!" Crowd goes nuts. The traffic before the show was pretty freakin ridiculous. Made me wonder where Billy was and what he was doing as to get caught up in hating the traffic. I'm sure the traffic in Chicago isn't any better. They haven't done 3 encores in a while, but they did here. These 2 shows in Atlanta were easily the best ones, as far as the set lists suggest, on the entire tour.
