Smashing Pumpkins Rocket live 1994 Barcelona

[@jackboot78]

Excellent stuff, I remember waiting on vieuphoria to be released(14 years ago!!) and loving it, think i wore the tape out! Will always be my favourite band, i've managed to see them 4 times live which isn't bad considering i live in Northern Ireland

[@JohnPrinzo]

I like how the opening, soft whimper of "Love" turns in to a visceral howl - "LOOOOOOVVVE!!!!"

[@reallyocean]

God damn, I love the way he SSCREAMS 'Love' at the beginning.

[@jimidix]

love this song..but just realised how old it is ! d'oh......14 years ago! mana...seems like yesterday, saw 'em in about '9y. GOLD again. all the best

[@rsuandrade]

There was a time when Billy Corgan write and play fantastic songs.

[@musicweirdo1]

[@blue46gt]

Totally amazing performance. Goddamn!

[@AtGiza]

thank you

[@MechanicalChrist1]

It be cool to see the Pumpkins in Spain

[@BRAWN1228]

You can feel the ROCK POWER

[@HAYDS510]

gotta love that crazy lil bit at the end. it almost compensates for the sad fact the song is almost over by that point.

[@jsandstorm94]

Amazing

[@andrewface]

great live take of this tune!!!

[@AtGiza]

Goddamn i love this band so much. Siamese Twin is my favorite album of all time.

[@OriginalLamester]

I am a recovering 90's addict, and this is incredible, though not good for my addiction...

[@talpajam]

The perfect rock/jazz drummer..always swinging.

[@alyc662]

Unreal!!!

[@mattisprettycool]

I absolutely know what you're talking about. Well put.

[@PacManBear]

90's = Awesome :)

[@dimancho]

i agree ... ya u r right

[@SuperSaiyanScandinavian]

@MancKev oh yeah true. the lost tapes were definitely different. i don't even remember how i came across this one on the dvd. i haven't watched Vieuphoria for a long time. i think i should though. it would be nostalgic :)

[@metalheadkev10]

this what i call music for the masses everyone should own at least one smashing pumpkins album gish or siames dream or if you want get them all as their all epic albums

[@hagener]

i bet you love Mellon collie and the infinite Crying, and Machina the machines of Machine.

[@plasius]

hot damn!

[@Kyomara]

I'm incredible.

[@skeeter197140]

Damn I used to be in love with D'arcy.

[@flurwerk]

i live in ireland but i wish i lived in korea, (north).

[@MancKev]

@queerp yes they did...this video rip is from that dvd...what i was saying is that this specific concert was not part of the lost tapes concert..they were just on the same dvd as a filler, thats all

[@nativereef]

Love it

[@jackboot78]

D'arcy playing with her fingers!!!!!

[@SuperSaiyanScandinavian]

@MancKev not true, they had this on the lost tapes too. i forget which songs they had from this concert but i distinctively remember watching "I Am One" from this concert in the lost tapes. maybe you never came across it, i didn't come across this performance on Vieuphoria until watching in many many times and owning it for maybe a year. i can guarantee that the concert was on it. i don't think Rocket was on it though.

[@thenewyorkpauls]

@MancKev Pavement finally discovered the internet.

[@AtGiza]

o thonk you very mooch

[@SuperSaiyanScandinavian]

@MancKev this is the "I Am One" performance that i remember seeing on the DVD /watch?v=XD6scpQe52o

[@SuperSaiyanScandinavian]

@MancKev ok thanks man.

[@MancKev]

@queerp yep true i have it on my dvd...

[@MancKev]

This is a completley different concert, nothing at all to do with the Lost Tapes. As far as I know, the Lost Tapes are from 1994but at a venue in Phillidelphia USA.

[@corm88]

:-)

[@MancKev]

@queerp definitely do that man =) go through my uploads..i have most of the lost gig and the Barcelona gig just in case you want a instant nostalgia trip

[@1955blown]

check out the one hand lick at 1:51 it just doesnt get ant purer than this

[@FluffyPorcupines]

I go death at 3:50

[@Riggs7109]

This was an incredible version except for James screwing up his part towards the end...

[@MancKev]

1 dislike...who the fuck...?

[@HAYDS510]

he sounds cool enough.. what exactly is singing well in alternative rock? Kurt Cobain, Frank Black,.. none of them really had conventional mainstream singing voices if that's what you're after, but they rocked what they had.

[@thetroller121]

possibly one of their most unde rated songs........

[@AtGiza]

Hey i corrected myself. And seriously simaese weenie is their best album aver. Damnit!!! i meant siamese twin, NO!!! Siamese Dream!! MMM noodle soup. Oh goddamn it.

[@JonesJoplin4ever]

which avenue is this??? gent, quina sala és aquesta???

[@ultraemulsion]

I was just joking. That's possible.

[@SWbro94]

who wasn't?

[@MxLee192]

James Iha really needs to play his solo parts correctly.

[@sheldonbenton5278]

MrLee192Gversion fuck off. He can do whatever he wants

[@maduker]

The band has a guitar tech to do intonation on their tours. Iha is still a noob though...

[@dimancho]

he runs out of voice on 0:51

[@ultraemulsion]

What does cocaine have to do with this song? I'm a recovering weed addict :D

[@AtGiza]

Siamese Dream , of coarse, not siamese twin

[@dimancho]

lets pay u some good english classes ok? (Smashing Tomatoes)

[@MrAlterLatz]

I dislike the dislike!

[@CacheTaFace]

That's some pretty shitty lead guitar playing by Iha. Billy's firing though, great performance.

[@fozzy1015]

Never could sing though.

[@sheldonbenton5278]

fozzy1015 it’s not a singing contest, it’s a rock show

[@Hecknerfunk]

Because of the 'Nirvana Movement' at that time , maybe Corgan Felt obliged to scream his lung out ...just to thrill the audience ? Or make it more rock ? Or just because it was difficult to deal with the Sound of the voice on stage ? The guitars and drum here are sublime. But the voice is far from good

[@sheldonbenton5278]

Hecknerfunk no that’s how he sings. He just has a lot of emotion. Billy was not the mainstream type, no way he would be screaming to be like nirvana or any other band at that time

[@pittenjd]

No way. He's an excellent singer. Singing isn't always about singing pretty or perfectly. It's often about the emotions you convey. He sings with all of his heart and soul. And truly, if you listen to the actual melodies in many Smashing Pumpkins vocal lines (particularly in the studio), the melodies are usually very beautiful and musically ingenious. Again, singing isn't about being perfect. He was a genius songwriter and very good at expressing himself through his words and music, and was a master at channeling passion and emotion through his art. When people criticize his singing as being "bad" I always feel it's a little short-sighted, although every one is of course entitled to their opinion. But it's their loss. The Smashing Pumpkins for me are one of the most emotionally intense and riveting bands, and my appreciation for them only deepens as I get older and listen to them more and more.
