Photos and art by Richard Every, Irene Tien and Steven PukinGlass and The Ghost Children cover by Spaceboy365 (Act IV 2001 Demo)Act42012-12-08 | This demo is special because it is the first demo we ever received for the Act IV shows. On December 7, 2000, we announced the idea of Act IV on sites and mailing lists like Blissed and Gone2K, which was setup for people going to the 'final' SP shows at the time. Spaceboy365 submitted this cover of "Glass and the Ghost Children" to us on December 8, 2000, just 1 day later and 6 days after the end of the first era of The Smashing Pumpkins.
Since we do not have a picture or even Spaceboy365's real name at the moment, we have chosen one of the first banners we have ever used on the Act IV site, when it was simply known as Project: Act IV. Eventually we would name it Act IV: A Tribute To The Smashing Pumpkins. Spaceboy365 did end up on the unusually long shortlist for the first show (20 bands, we shortened this to 12 for the second year), but did not make the final cut: http://www.act4.net/bands-2001.htmQuasar/Panopticon (LIVE)Act42012-10-29 | Live at the Air Canada Centre.

This demo was submitted to us in late 2001 for consideration for the second Act IV concert. While The iOs didn't make the cut, this demo was under consideration for Ghost Children 2 years later. In the end, The iOs created an updated version in 2006 that is perhaps even better than this original demo, which ended up being chosen for Ghost Children 2.

*DISCLAIMER* I noticed that this has a copyright claim on it, less than an hour after I posted it. This is a cover song of an SP song by one of the bands that played at Act IV, it's not the original song. Many people post covers of SP songs on here. This was at a charity concert in benefit of Make-A-Wish and I believe some of the fees that were deducted from the gross ticket sales were royalties to the Pumpkins.Rocket (cover) performed by Neil Main with GliderAct42011-06-20 | Live @ Act IV 2002 ( http://www.act4.net ).
