The Smashing Pumpkins perform "1979" in front of a live studio audience at RADIO 94.7 in Sacramento, CA 9.6.10

[@nathanbrownmolotov8697]

The Drummer is spot on and pulls this performance together. Awesome !!

[@bakerman10]

I think that's Mike Byrne. I'm sort of partial to Jimmy Chamberlain.

[@massimobernuzzi2594]

the drummer played as if the song were his own. Really.

[@FutureFunkMonthly]

Young man kills it on the drums!

[@archibaldikowski3646]

Chamberlin doesn't play the highhat accents live, Mike does. ;)

[@andyd2296]

His name is Juppiter Creugen

[@db-mr1pc]

Shout out to the sound tech. The whole band sounds great, but those drums are phenomenal.

“Nostalgia often feels bittersweet -- mostly happy and comforting, but with a tinge of sadness that whatever we’re remembering is lost in some way."

[@ddbrothers1671]

Melancholy and the infinite sadness 🤔

[@solidwegy61]

Billy wants everyone to join in but they're all to hypnotized by the beauty of how good this sounds live LOL!

[@stschannelt1476]

I wonder if he realizes this! 😆

[@neilouellette3004]

Drummer Mike Byrne brings it all together. I believe he just turned 20 yrs old right near this time. Just like the comment below, pulls the band in tight and is spot on. The kid did alright on his short tenure w/the Pumpkins.

[@TheTriplewitch]

Drums were stellar.

[@frickindaniel]

this version is nuts. so good

[@davidmurray2539]

Brilliant song, one of rock's greatest singer/composers and a total listening pleasure!

[@protoman2k]

That time when Billy Corgan ordered the rest of the Smashing Pumpkins from Wish.

[@kennethgriffin7921]

well the rest of them shoulda realized they were just musicians and the only actual artist in the band was Billy boy

[@river6845]

@@kennethgriffin7921 that’s quite a hot take, don’t get me wrong, Corgan is great and he can write some good stuff, but think about Chamberlin, he is also a very talented musician. The other two I can mostly agree with u.

[@rommelgutierrez8583]

What a cool relaxing sounds... they coming back my memories on college 😊

[@merk9569]

Relaxing? I have two minor heart conditions. Billy Corgan’s voice in 1979 gives me palpitations and arrhythmia almost every time- especially if he’s playing electric. It’s literally happening now. If I play it a second time I get angina! Getting old sucks!

[@bobafett5323]

“She hung down with YOU freaks and ghouls..” 🙌🏽

[@CraigARowe-ks2kk]

Mike Byrne drives this song with a basic set of bass, tom, snare, hi-hat, and not abusing the crash. Sweet kit...less is often more!!!!!!!!!

[@marcelodesousa2994]

Shakedown, 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet June bug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust, I guess forgotten and absorbed to the Earth below Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin' dues down to see That we don't even care as restless as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement Lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it to see That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust, I guess forgotten and absorbed to the Earth below The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around

It so hard to put your finger on the magic that one song or another has for a person. This song speaks to me... deeply.... Tugs on something dark and almost forgotten. This is just one of those songs....

They were in the right place at the right time, having Butch Vig produce their album right after he produced Nirvana. How could their album have failed? Everyone wanted to hear Butch's followup to Nevermind, and this band was it. It was like being a new series and following Seinfeld or Friends.

This version of the band put out better material that the reunion version has. I think Billy was actually challenged to try at this point, and since Jimmy and James came back he has leaned hard into nostalgia and Pro Tools.

Artists with great creative skills, create. Corgan is building a body of work that when all said and done, will mark him as one of the pre-eminent composers/singers/performers in the history of this genre.
