Smashing Pumpkins - 10/19/00 - [Full Video/Tweaked] - Paris, France

[@timothyypa]

2000 was a magical time for the Pumpkins' demise, as they they put on some of the most pounding rock shows in all history. Unfortunate. Porcelina, wow, what a performance! The acoustic opener was enthralling. Machina, released that year, can arguably be considered the Pumpkin's opus. Such a timelessly powerful album.

[@jjwilliamsoconnor1329]

Tim Young i loved that record! and in a psychotic speed fuelled state fukin gave it away 2 make a woman love me!...DID'NT FUKIN WORK!...SHE STILL HATES ME 2 THIS FUKIN DAY! HUM HUM!

[@discardmyfriends]

+Tim Young They went out in a massive blaze of glory

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

I found machina in a second hand entertainment store. It was one of the greatest CD finds I've been graced with. It was a God-send. It's one of my most treasured possessions. So uniquely strange and beautiful.

Wow memories. I was at that show. From where I was sitting, the sound was really messy (as it is in this arena) so it's kind of a re-discovery here as the sound is very nicely done on this video. Brilliant, thank you!

Amen to that. I watch at least one Pumpkins live video weekly since i became a fan, no joke. One of my faves is the Adore Tour concert on Guggenheim museum.

The Machina era is so beautifully mysterious and ominous to me, as is the album/project itself. Can't wait for the reissue!

[@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614]

Haha two years later. Still waiting. Went to a concert 6 months or so ago and screamed “release machina” lol

[@brighthallwayblues]

​@@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614 lol that's actually funny. 😂

[@mapavlikify]

​@@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614 thank you. This needs to be the trend

[@damienfaure8739]

It was amazing to hear Melissa de speaking to the audience in French! 😮 She said "Guillaume" for "William! 😮😉 When this version of "1979", I always must retain my tears. It sounds like a farewell... 😢

[@SoundMuzak]

The Pumpkins never sounded better than in 2000

[@kontan2504]

I have listened to pretty much all Glass and The Ghost Children versions, live and album included, this is definitely the best one, not to mention that the soundmix is awesome.

[@lordwinterisle]

Machina came out when I was in high school. I remember a girl in my class named Maria telling me she thought it was underrated. That's one of the most accurate statements anyone has ever made to me.

[@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614]

From a musician’s standpoint, machina 1 and 2 had some of the most complex things going of any pop album of all time. I think it just went over the heads of a lot of people at the time. I keep waiting for people to go back and rediscover it for the masterpiece that it is but I think it’s just so buried in time.

[@yrmthr]

It's a masterpiece. You should have married Maria

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

This concert is one of my favorite finds on KZbin. It's absolutely beautiful. Not for a casual Pumpkins fan, but it is strange and beautiful. Some of the most unique, beautiful music I've ever heard. Who thought... a flanger on an acoustic... sounds so wild.

[@corgan59]

i was in ;)

[@corgan59]

@ i know, i was in ;) i remenber "If there a god" and more env 2h30

[@Infinitecero]

This setlist and concert it’s epic. One of Best Pumpkins performances, wish was a better HQ version of the video quality 😢

[@LuizMGRamos]

Mr. Mike Garsson is such a great feature both in Adore and Machina tours. He was the Rick Wright for the Pumpkins on those years.

[@jamesquitadamo1917]

He will always be Aladdin Sane

[@Deadmoney48]

So amazed to have found this show on youtube. I was in the crowd and I can still remember each second of that show. Awesome performance for an awesome band !

[@BoyGeorgiaX]

I love Mike’s contributions to their machina era stuff.

[@thejuliajune]

That acoustic version of Today is one of the best, if not the best, I've seen live from them. How could anyone dislike this?! Such an amazing concert!

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

This is the most fantastic artistic live display of the pumpkins in my opinion. I'm a minority in that, but it's so unique and artistic sounding.

[@UltRaNOL]

Well, I was there, I was young and it was one of the most transformative experience in my entire life (sometimes music can do that...). It's after that show I decided to learn to play the guitar waaayyyy more seriously...

[@benoitlp6305]

I was there : fantastic show, so intense

[@iansheaffer6570]

I love the alternate version of Today played during this time. So beautiful. Love the chorus effect on James' acoustic.

[@jayelliott1883]

Their sets from this tour make my face feel all melty.

[@Hagalazii]

This video was the first time i got to now the Pumpkins. Geeez! Guess that explains why ive always been a sucker for Porcelina.

[@TeddyWaldon]

Oooooh that intro to Tonight, Tonight is perfect

[@TeddyWaldon]

The whole show is filmed so well. Love the wide shots of the scene, the lighting is on point. The sound is great too, with a killer setlist. My only gripe is Corgan looks bored out of his mind! Maybe it was just his attitude during this era, with the band coming to an end.

[@joolm4976]

I was in Toulouse, the show just fefore this one, best show of my life. This band was the best heavy groovy machine.

[@olivierdobbels9483]

I was at that very show in Paris. Had the feeling of being still physically hit by endless waves of sound. That show was.. well I guess the very best rnr show I have attended...and some other songs are missing : I do specifically recall two epic versions of Cash Car Star and Speed Kills, among others

[@joolm4976]

Smashing Pumpkins has had a lot of different bassists, but this is the best I can recall it sounding at any live show I've seen on the internet

[@Theaiguywhoknowsnothing]

best version of "ghost" ever, and amazing opening to a show ever!!

[@jadew.6786]

Melissa is the perfect bassist for the smashing pumpkins

[@okirrama3587]

Not as perfect as Darcy tho

[@Sam_T2000]

グールにも愛が必要 - have you ever heard of _Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness_ ???

[@jadew.6786]

Amazing examples of melissa's bass playing, Ric Ocasek Troublizing album, Hole's "gold dust woman" and Celebrity skin album. Best bass sound from Melissa.

[@Sam_T2000]

グールにも愛が必要 - I’m not surprised, but I have a feeling there’s a good chance he did that on more than one or two albums? and I don’t believe Auf der Maur actually performed on any of the albums, did she? I thought it was still D’Arcy/Billy on _Machina I,_ and I assume just Billy on _Machina II..._ but maybe I’m wrong. my point is that the Pumpkins were plenty “heavy” before Auf der Maur, when they needed to be.

[@jadew.6786]

@グールにも愛が必要 I honestly believe that Billy did go back and re-record the bass parts for melon collie and/or machina 1. It's obviously no surprise that Billy controls how things sound sound, etc.

[@jeahhh]

so sick! machina tour ruled the world!

If you went back in time to 91 and showed a pumpkins fan the last few minutes of everlasting gaze here they’d say “well fuck they’re gonna be the best heavy metal band on earth by then?” lol

Par contre je ne me rappelle plus de quand ils ont joué Bullet with... .Tout le monde l'attendait, donc en plein pogo, j'ai rien vu.

[@MikeDurband]

22:05 Thirty-Three

[@jamesquitadamo1917]

Often wondered if Billy introducing Try Try Try as Pourquoi was him on some level felling this band's life had run its course?

[@ConceptCarMusic]

I saw the band in Glasgow's SECC on this tour and witnessed more or less the same set. I had never seen them before and was excited to hear the iconic songs that played a big part in soundtracking my teenage years from SD and MCAIS, which were the only albums I was really familiar with. I liked Adore, although not to the same extent and I didn't know much from then-recently released Machina. I was (and still am) a casual fan of the Pumpkins, but the prospect of seeing them live was something I was certainly looking forward to. However, I left the show feeling extremely disappointed with what I perceived to be a very bloated, self-indulgent performance. At first I wasn't sure if I had unintentionally purchased a ticket for an full acoustic performance given how many songs they played in that style at the start, which didn't resonate well with my then heavy rock-focused young mind and I found boredom was setting in early. When they finally reached the heavier stuff, I was frustrated with the live reworkings of the likes of 'Bullet', along with the absence of hits like 'Jellybelly', 'Zero', 'Where Boys Fear To Tread', etc, which I felt deserved to be included in what was advertised as a farewell tour. By the end of the show I was done and just wanted to go home, and the negativity of the experience in general resulted in me avoiding their music for years afterwards. Looking back now with a fuller and more mature understanding of music in general, I can appreciate what the band was doing here. I still believe the set completely fails in terms of fan service and didn't cater for what you would expect to witness in a 'last tour' scenario, but then again perhaps I just completely underestimated Billy Corgan and his own intentions. That said, I can now admire the sheer grandiose spectacle on display here and the maximal musical exploration approach. It wasn't what I wanted, but needless to say Billy probably couldn't have given less of a shit about that. Watching their current sets on YT is way more in line with what I would have preferred to have seen back then and it's cool 3/4 of the original band are out there currently enjoying a renaissance of sorts. They're back in Glasgow next year and I 'm contemplating buying a ticket and see if I feel differently this time round...

[@gabrielllllllllllll]

everything you said makes a lot of sense and if I was in your shoes I might have felt just as disappointed at the time. Yet as I watch these old pumpkins live shows here on YT I'm very grateful Corgan & Co did things their way then instead of following the typical formula. There are so many performances from the 90s and 2000s+ with various lineups, setlist, and arrangements that give fans new and old much more to consume and enjoy. ✌

[@ValisX]

Interesting comment, I feel that a lot of hardcore fans feel(felt) the same way sometimes. Billy said often that he tried to give variations in performance specifically so that people wouldn’t get cookie cutter performances every night. The result of that is kind of a lottery on whether you’d get a winning performance or not.
