by open on 08/29/2009

[singlepic id=18 w=320 h=240 float=left]Early pics are in from this amazing evening featuring some incredible musicians: Billy Corgan (vocals and guitar), Dave Navarro (guitar), Mike Byrne (drums), Mark Tulin (bass), Mark Weitz  (keyboards), Kerry Brownon (percussion), Ysanne Spevak (violin), Linda Strawberry (backing vocals), and Kevin Dippold (flute and mandolin). Thanks for rocking our bookstore!

Special thanks to everyone who attended, you were a great crowd and we really appreciate you! Stay tuned for more video and audio!

Some early attendee reviews:

“So glad to be reminded that there are still talented, worthwhile artists making real music and performing great shows in a decade of crap! Simply one of the best live performances I have seen!” – Stephen Simon

“A rewind button, please, to replay and relive this night everyday. I’m so amazed.” – Barbara Navarro (no relation to Dave!)

“OMG, that was so amazing! I have to say that the sound mixing was absolutely perfect for me. It was loud enough, but not killing, and the acoustics just worked so well in your bookstore. Maybe something about the cookbooks on the walls. ; )” – Jacqui Viale
