actually, I thought Doris Henson was very good.
 
 and Corgan was also good, for what it was.  Then again, I'm a rather die hard Corgan fan.  So I'm curious to see what other people think.

Doris Henson was definitely better then The Crimea. The Crimea rocked out on a couple songs, but, for the most part, they bored me to tears. It didn't help that I couldn't understand a word their lead singer said or sang, thanks to his thick London(?) accent. Doris Henson had some good songs and some good energy, but I hated that song they ended their set with. Could've done without the trombone, too. Not that I'm against brass instruments in my rock music, but it didn't add anything in this case.
 
 As for Billy Corgan, he definitely did not suck, but I've seen better post-Pumpkins Corgan shows. (I rather liked the Zwan stuff actually, especially performed live.) But I respect him a lot as an artist. He's one of the best frontman lead guitarists in the business, and he's a damn good songwriter. As for the new material that he performed last night, I would say there were only 5 or 6 strong songs and only a few of those really showed off Corgan's guitar playing skills, but at least he's out there trying to do something new rather than regurgitating the same songs with different lyrics like some artists. I guess sometimes you have to take a step back in order to take two steps forward though. Anyway, not the best concert I've seen this year by any means, but I certainly enjoyed it. I got a real thrill out of finally seeing Corgan perform at the 9:30 Club. (I wasn't living around here when the Pumpkins were touring and Zwan never played at the 9:30 Club unfortunately.)

Light show was spectacular.
 
 And I agree with the vocal mix; Corgan seemed very low.  Pretty much everything the other poster said was right on - five or six great songs, some "meh" songs, and all in all, a good performance and an entertaining night.  Looking forward to what he does next.

I had a pretty good time. The light show WAS really fucking cool. I agree on the vocals too...they were definitely too low in the beginning. I'm in love with Linda Strawberry.

doris henson put on one hell of a show. crimea however... meh. the only thing i enjoyed was their guitarist who could obviously play.
 
 as for the man himself, the first couple of songs he seemed bored and uncomfortable but once he got into it the show seemed to take off, as much as one could take off to that kind of music. the solo in "to love somebody" was great. i've also heard that he's started singing "hail mary" at the end of his shows normally now

He did it at the 9:30 show, obviously, and again in Chicago. It's not a nightly thing by any means, and a little weird for some of us.

haha yea it was a bit odd. i saw a few people leave but it was nice of him to say that he was open to all religions and beliefs after he sang it
