The Smashing Pumpkins - Live in Düsseldorf (Germany, 1996) 

The list of the best techno album too?

@@leanderlle7602 Nah, that would be Kraftwerk Tour De France 2003 mix

I have long said that Mellon Collie is the best rock album of the 90s.

@@BigRob829 agree 100% BEST ALBUM EVER

BigRob829 that rem aftp u2 achtung baby Radiohead the bends or ok computer and many more

He was so nonchalant about it lmao!!!

my thoughts exactly. d'arcy embodies 90's alternative culture. but all eras aside (as to not pigeonhole the band as a nostalgia group), the original lineup had the vibe of an actual band, each member adding their own character into the mix.

I just hope she's ok, the last thing I heard about her was that weird call she made to a radio back in 09. You could tell drugs affected her deeply... If, I mean when the Pumpkins get in the Hall of Fame, I hope she'll be there :)

Seba Cabré do u know if there is some recording of that? because i don't know sh*t about what happened apart from some drug problems in general

WatjeBent i know it wasn't directed to me, but it's on youtube. search "d'arcy wretzky interview 2009" and it's up there. quite sad, really. but now d'arcy's fine, i think. i mean, she has her own facebook page, which suggests that she's now retired, working on her farm with her horses, and talking to some fans.

Not so much of an interview, she just calls the radio station, and starts talking about where's she living, her boyfriend that had died not long ago... It's actually a bit sad, at least for me, to hear her like that. I reaaaaaally hope she's living her life happy right now, she deserves it.

I initially read, "what a genuine bald man"

actually just a few "big" bands fitted in the label "grunge". most of them just share seattle as hometown and the fact that their music was guitar based and full of energy. the ones that fitted the label were the ones that were created to sell a product

That works as well

@@burton12E4 youre not wrong

@@mennofennema9829 not true, I care

Fucking hero

Thanks so much

That's right haha

+Monica Corgan the good old time

are you crazy or moral? don't understand your reponse.........

+Jorge Nuñez lol I disagree. There would be less recording because some bands have more obnoxious fans than others but there would still be a lot of twats recording it.

That's right. But blame on the telephone companies and the technology. :-(

when he goes to a concert he lets it all hang out ;)

And he loves you too, random citizen.

"Now i'm naked, nothing but an animal": he took that quite literally...

'He's part of their crew. They pay him handsomely.'

Naked man from Chumbawamba

+Creat Swartz Totally agree. I think that after "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" they began going down.

+KurtFuller duh

+KurtFuller Adore was even better

@@KurtFuller they needed one more good hard rock album like siamese after melon but it never happened.

@@joaquinmedrano212 I understand why you say that. But you can’t compare apples to apples, this was a magical time in music.

This was in Germany right?

@@stuartewoldt1513 yes, dude - in Duesseldorf.....

caleron , I hope it comes soon, in the 2020s... But alas, we wouldn't be in our teens and 20s to fully enjoy it.

But my grand children will

I wanna bring it back but no one will let me.

i don't think i'll even make it to 2019 xD

true

How are you a year later?

Infinate.

bellissimo commento.

It's crazy cuz obviously they're a band but back in the 90's it felt like so much more than just a concert. I can't really explain it. There's a certain theatricality to what they were doing without going over the top. This tour was my first concert. I was 12. What a great first show haha.

You say," with everything that happened.." what do you mean? D'arcy and James break up? Or something else?

@@TheSInSurfer When Jimmy was kicked out of the band. They picked up with Matt and were still at the top of their game.

@@pgriffinbaron Ah, Thank you. Now I understand. I appreciate the answer.

@Griffin Baron Plus their keyboardist died from a heroin od after this tour, I was friends with his sister who wrote coffee and starfish for prince and their sister was prince's original guitarist featured in Purple rain.

Hello, i am from the future. Jimmy-my men. It is 2024 now. In three monts I am going in wiena. 24.6.2024 smashing pumpkins live. James jimmy billy and third guitar. Some studio musician, I assume. 1 female singer, she looks like An angel, Probably that was a concept. SP always had female on stage. It is just SP. Full sound. Billy singing mostly midlle register. It is working. They sound better, fuller than other live bands. Billy, genious as he is, find the way how can rock band still sound amazing. So cherish the bands in your time. It wont last. Future is musicless.

have you seen sarah connor?

I literally did not expect that, and I was all like: 😳

What the fuck am I looking at 😂😂😂

Hhahahahhahahah

No joke at a foo or sp concert I recall we had a jump together and we were all getting like 2-3 feet of air somehow like the sub floor or beams were like a trampoline and we were floating way higher than should have been possible, yes drugs, but still way higher jumping than made any sense, looked the same here

The "naked man" is Dan from the band Chumbawamba. Both bands were playing the festival, and apparently Billy was a jerk to their band. They thought it would be funny to prank them during their performance.

​@@dietpepsi9140I heard Billy was a jersey to alot of people. I don't know what pressures he had and some people just react to it

Brooklyn *෴* Agreed. I've always been in admiration of his drumming. The way he keeps the hi-hat going to the whole time allows for so many possibilities since he's not having to use one of his drumsticks to keep time. I have yet to see another drummer that plays like that.

Yes! and his rolls and fills are out-standing!!

My lord.. Fuck You (An Ode to No One) is like drum porn lol.

Night Owl same

Crazy he got fired right after this too :(

"Joyfullnees and the infinite gladness"

Infinite gladness I love it! Regards, Doug Hughes Williamstown Nth, Victoria, Australia❤

You gotta see some shows in South America. I saw a Pantera and the crowd was probably the best I've ever seen for energy

It's actually Today. Not to forgive. Idk why they said that

She definitely sings in To Forgive quite a bit ​@@JDawg8733

Definetely. What a song...

Amazing version. Jimmy's putting on a clinic.

Try Brixton Academy version.

I'm 37 and I saw them in 94 or 95 lol I was in lole 4th or 5th grade

​@JDawg8733 Lol I remember hearing some of these songs in 1st grade on the radio (6/7 in '96, 34 now). I didn't get the album until I was 15 though but I remember it was the first thing I ever downloaded off of ITunes.

@@twiff3rino28 I guess it's safe to say, I didn't realize and appreciate what I got see at a live concert here in Chicago when I was in like 4th or 5th grade lol it was the Mellon collie album. Came out the next day, mom got it at best buy lol I got a shirt from the concert. Me my brother and my mom. I got bored during the concert. Everyone was standing and I was sitting. Lmfao

@JDawg8733 Dang, that sucks. For me my biggest regret wasn't understanding the meaning of the video for "1979" until I was almost 30. I distinctly remember watching it as the depressed 15 year old I was and thinking, "Those kids are having too much fun, that's not me. WTF Billy... this isn't realistic." It probably struck me more at the time since the kids in the car were actually 15 and 16 when they filmed it, and I was learning to drive. Now, it makes me wish I was friendlier to the (then) kids who went out of their way to be nice to me, instead of being flaky over my own insecurities.

@@twiff3rino28 I hear you on that bro..I can realte In a way. And I'm not saying the concert wasn't good. Just saying at the time I was real young seeing them and I wasn't able to really appreciate what I actually seeing until now. I'm still into the 90s music these days.

Völlig deiner Meinung. Ich durfte die Pumpkins, mit meinen beiden besten Freunden, in der Offenbacher Stadthalle erleben. War einige Tage vor der Düsseldorfer Show. Unglaubliches Konzert, energiegeladen, wahnsinns Sound, uns hat's total umgehauen. Wir sind uns noch heute einig, das beste Konzert ever, und wir haben wahrlich so einiges erlebt. Heutzutage wird es immer schwieriger ein Top Konzert zu genießen. Fast nur noch Stadion Shows, die leider immer mehr zu "Events bei denen man gewesen sein muss" verkommen. Handygefuchtel, Gequatsche, kaum Stimmung. Aber am schlimmsten, kaum innovative neue Künstler. Früher war alles besser!👴

jermanny lull

@@argusauge4812 als teenager stimm ich absolut zu! Ein Konzert soll im Moment genossen werden und nicht durch ein Handy!

I'm from Texas and 100% agree. The 90's which belongs over into the 2000's was the last screaming death of rock music

They fucking are the goat i billy at least are an alien

"Ruby". I cried.

you suck

Why?

Because they are posting the wrong song titles...

They always played that jam during Ruby on that tour. This particular one isn't actually a good example of it, there are much better versions that they played later in the tour where it was almost like they were dueling guitars. Try ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-18x6aOU_fZg.html or ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hBBKxOIlUjw.html

Do did l, it was truly epic, Billy Corgan is a bad ass guitarists, if you watch him it's true talent, one of the best l've seen.

as a youth in louisville i am incredibly jealous

Saw them in Texas. Shirley Manson jumping up and down during every song (and I like garbage) but what truly stood out was her chest bouncing up and down. Could've been the pot I smoked, I do remember them being in time

I love that stuff and I love the new stuff- and happy to have the different eras-

Jeff is cool.

Those were the SP

@@notsure1135 Ive got some bad news

@@-mynkz6451 hahahahaha, the good news is Billy plays more solos…

lucky jiggly wiggles Agree!

Better than the Beatles

​@@alexmalchin your dreams lmao

@@dinhospring I must have been high but I still do enjoy sp more than the beatles

@@alexmalch same thing here, but in my opinion they aint better, your opinion is valid tho

They are one of my favs! But Rhcp has them beat!

RHCP isn't alternative rock, they are (were) a funk band.

NefariousPorpoise Rhcp is both. They have the most number one hits on the alternative charts

Paul Stich what would be their most alt-rock song? like the pumpkins

Parallel universe could be considered pumpkins esque, still quite different though

haha. yeah. but it didn't seem to me that he even noticed the guy. I think D'arcy told him after. He wasn't even looking. Still, it was funny as hell. Ewww: dude's gross-ass bush. haha.

Naked Man had everything planned months ahead: what what song, which part and pubic hair growth.

Ya, it's not a reunion w/o D'Arcy

@@stuartewoldt1513 It was though! James Iha was there! And there was a girl that looked just like D'Arcy. Sure it would've been better with the real D'Arcy but that's still one of the best shows I've ever been to! I still remember it like it was yesterday. It was awesome!

Andrew Mello I heard a ton of live stuff, and I agree with you!

+Andrew Mello I prefer the Brixton Academy one, cos Billys guitar is louder in the mix, but this one here is f-in epic though!

+Andrew Mello I would also say that for To Forgive and maybe even Thru the Eyes of Ruby

Despite being a fan for years I had completely overlooked that song. It is so good.

They’re not grunge, stop it. They’re their own thing.

Hahahhahaha. Awesome

I don’t remember him not playing the encore, but I do recall all of us asking for Zero, him saying that the shirt was retired and him busting out into Zero. Probably one of the rare times he has played a request.
