I’m sorry but this band is completely underrated. Billy Corgan is one of the best guitar players to have ever been born. He was fucking unstoppable in the early 90s.
@@ceezer.mp4 underrated cuz they were famous post-nirvana thanks to Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, their penultimate record before the 2000s (the decade they stopped making commercial successes and actually outside the mainstream)
the smashing pumpkins have the best psychedelic music ever.. get high or drunk and just listen to them for hours on end.. it seems like lifetimes have passed.. its great..
Ahhh this music takes me back to a lovely and high place in my college days! Pumpkins FOREVER!!! Thank you for this music guys (and gal). Thanks for this rare video too. Love it!
I've been listening to the Pumpkins for almost 3 months now and I already have about 68 of their songs on my ipod! I love them, they are one of my favorite bands and they always will be
chicagomylem: where did these videos (rare 001-006) come from? Where were they playing and for whom? These are definitely the best SP videos available on RU-vid if you want to know what the SP were like before (and around) Gish. There are a few live from the Metro that are OK. Thanks so much for posting. Gish is simply incredible, and when it came out I listened to it many many many times (usually int he dark). I am 45 now and still listen to Gish daily. Top 10 album of all-time!
This performance was shot at Reckless Records on Broadway in Chicago. The band did a short set to promote the Gish album at the time. It was a free show in the late afternoon in front of 20 or so people.
It’s cool to see this again knowing that now he got that guitar back. I always felt sad watching this knowing that it was stolen possibly weeks after this performance.
Early Pumpkins was some of the best music I have ever heard. GISH is almost as important to me as Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffitti, if you believe it....maybe SOUNDGARDEN Badmotorfinger too?
I can't either. A personal show by SP would leave me on the floor in complete paroxysms from sensory overload. I know they're getting 'audience' response, but based on Billy's guitar and hair, this looks to be around the time they first appeared on SNL. I could be totally wrong, but I 'think' this is a live rehearsal, which close friends/family often attend, not to mention all of the FOH & Stage Monitor Engineers, general technicians, etc. mapping everything out for even a modest 'club' tour.
fuck, wow I don't know what else to say. Coming of age in the early 90s this band saw me through some very tough and trying times oh let the nostalgia consume me right now
Yeah i agree MarkSP im rly startin to get into SP nd more than jus their mainstream hits their wicked awesome cnt wait to see em in Boston 11/14 nd 11/15 SP ROCKS...
Man D'arcy the thing that is cool about her is not only her driving low but ive never seen a musician with such good taste consistantly it always seems like her axes are out of fender custom shop
yea i think about that everytime in the crow, with the picture of him in the car with his bandmates.... Makes me think of the video to 1979 with BC with long hair :0P
Seriously? The song Drown is featured on the soundtrack for the movie "Singles", which came out in '92 I believe. It's a Pumpkins classic that they still play at live shows even to this day.
Really? That's good to know 'cause me and some friends were going to take some 'shrooms and I thought of putting on Gish and watching the Siva, Rhinosceros and Cherub rock videos off my Greatest Hits DVD. I've never taken shrooms before though, so I hope I'm in for a good surprise.
