I saw them open for Red Hot Chili Peppers. Opening act before them was Pearl Jam.
awesome find!
> They’re So Young
And I’m so old.
Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins
Homer Simpson, Smiling politely.
You can hear the REM influence
Aw. Before they broke D’arci.
Before he became Uncle Fester
So you’re telling me thats NOT Gerard Way. Ok. gotcha.
The performance in its entirety was included on the DVD that came with the 2012 deluxe re-issue of Pisces Iscariot.
I knew a guy that went to the same high school as Billy Corgan. His retirement plan was to hold onto a VHS that he found laying around at school. It was similar to this, but a lot of heavily pixilated Amiga screen wipes. It was edited by Billy Corgan because he gave himself lots of listings on the credits. The cover was decorated with gel markers. We watched it at work and it was alright.
“About to define a new sound for a new generation”.
Throw another one on the pile, I guess.
They were at their best with Gish.

And now he’s a cranky, fat, crazy old person who hangs out with Alex Jones and complains about the kids on his lawn. The circle is complete.
Jimmy Chamberlin. One of the greatest drummers of his era.
Regardless of their mediocre album output as of late (and Billy’s infamous ego) The Pumpkins still kick ass live. They even have James Iha back in the band.
The list of influences on this are super obvious (REM, etc). I wonder what music of the time influenced/drove him into the Gish era of sound/songwriting?
Clearly before Billy realized what a powerhouse drummer they had. It’s so fascinating how this isn’t the sound we associate with them, but you can hear how this style got subsumed into songs like Rhinoceros or 1979.
I saw them at Summersault 2000, in Ottawa. That was a set list…

Sound like shit then, and still sound like shit. Best thing they ever did was stop playing music
I wish music like this was popular again. I get so tired of hip hop everywhere you go.
ta chido el video
Geez! I was only 1 when they made their demo? Still got their music on my spotify.
Four years later they would play The Ritz in Ybor,…I will always regret missing that show.
I forgot how much Billie being Billie takes me out of their performances.
How about ask to turn the vocals up instead of making some passive aggressive asshole comment then having to stop the next number to deal with it?
It’s so odd seeing Billy Corgan with hair. The shaved/bald looks suits him far more.
My favorite songs from The Smashing Pumpkins:
* 1979 (1996)
* Ava Adore (1998)
* Disarm (1994)
* Perfect (1998)
* Today (1993)
* Tonight Tonight (1996)
Saw them a few years ago with James Iha. While some of things Billy does are a bit cringy.l, it was still one of the most memorable concerts I’ve been to. Hoping to see them this year.
