Siamese Dream album is perfect to be played live song for song. It starts out with the perfect first energetic song Cherub Rock and ends with a slow melody song Luna
This was the very end of the set, he finished with "Bridged By A Lightwave" which you can hear him transition into at the end of this. It was pretty full crowd, more people than I expected honestly. Of course he played "Ghosts" might have even been the 2nd song
Man I would have sold my kids to be at this show (kidding son don't get butt hurt). Damn though, I would have loved to be at such an intimate show with the group even though not all were there. Of D'arcy would have shown up, that would have made it more epic!. Billy, Jimmy, and James were amazing to see.
One of my top 5 all time albums. This brought up so many memories from that era. Not least because they were the first gig I ever went to in '93 at Leeds T&C, supported by (The) Verve!. Having that third guitarist onstage here seemed pretty unnecessary to me... kinda diminished James Iha's role. His parts always dovetail so well with Corgan's playing.
This album “Siamese Dream” from Smashing Pumpkins and “Dirt” from Alice in Chains stayed on repeat/rotation in my Alpine cd player in my car for many years! These were iconic albums that I could play through the entire album never skipping a song.👑🎸❤️🔥💣🤘🏻#SP#30yrs.
I was 17, a junior in high school when this album came out and was lucky enough to catch the tour when it came to my hometown. Tickets were something like $18. General admission, got there early and claimed my spot against the front and center row right up against the rail. No cellphones, no distractions. I had to fight all night to keep my spot and ended up with a pretty good size bruise across my stomach 😂. Well worth it!! One of the greatest moments of my life. I'm 48 now and still love Smashing Pumpkins!!
Well said. Can relate to this, even though I was raised in Australia (and guessing you in USA). You made me laugh when you talked about "having to fight for my spot".....those front standing areas and/or mosh pits weren't for the light-hearted.
