Indeed, this was a night for the hardcore APC fan base. The group performed many fan-favorites and album cuts, including, “Magdalena,” “Hourglass,” “A Stranger,” and rock-radio staple “3 Libras” – albeit a remixed version many casual fans may not have recognized. No word about the fan seated behind me who sang along to every song at a volume almost equal to Keenan's, which I found to be at least equally annoying. ![]() Howerdel did explain that the band thought the use of cell phones was rude to those who merely wanted to enjoy the show without distractions. Alas, these old-fashioned rock preservationists could seem to care less. It seems to this critic, though, that more people would be aware that the group was on tour and more tickets would be sold if it used the power of modern technology to spread the word.

The band kicked off the night with “The Package,” as group member’s silhouettes were projected onto a screen in front of the stage. More than a handful removed from the venue for repeated use of mobile devices. Fans were warned that the use of cell phones during the night’s performance was strictly prohibited. A Perfect Circle also includes former-Smashing Pumpkins guitarist/keyboardist James Iha, guitarist Billy Howerdel, drummer Jeff Friedl and bassist Matt McJunkins, whose Beta Band served as special guests.Ī Perfect Circle performed 19 songs, over about an hour and 45 minutes, in a darkened Don Haskins Center. Those were some of the few words spoken by the frontman - who is also a member of the progressive-alternative band Tool - for the five-piece supergroup. “I drink two glasses of bourbon,” quipped the shadowy singer, who remained on a center stage riser and backlit throughout the concert.
