Smashing Pumpkins Soma Live Lost 1994 Concert

Brilliant performance of Soma, my all time favourite Pumpkins song, taken from the Lost 1994 Concert.

[@CrazyKoenie]

That solo tears me apart, add Billy's apathetic face to it and my soul cries out. My personal favourite Billy solo ever.

[@MrGunwitch]

Musical artistry and massive amounts of drugs.

[@Jason-to5cs]

that solo is soul shattering. controlled feedback is awesome.

I love the pumpkins suhin awful. Tht solo is probably one of the most well constructed and beautiful solos I have ever heard in my life. The song itself is touching aswell. :)

[@stretch255]

This song is so fucking sad and intense at the same time. Its just beautiful.

[@MissStratfan]

I've been listening to Siamese Dream again in my car this week and just had to go and look up some live performances, thier such a great band :D

[@changemytone]

with a cello. so good.

[@MissStratfan]

I love Soma while driving, I think I'm actually one of the few people that prefer it to Disarm, I like pretty much all of thier songs but this and Through The Eyes of Ruby are probably my favourites.

[@PaddyBcummins]

I FUCKING LOVE SOMA IT'S AN AMAZING SONG EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO IT I JUST GO INTO THIS AWESOME TRANCE WHERE YOU FORGET ALL YOUR PROBLEMS IN LIFE. The Smashing Pumpkins, love them so much.

[@pumkinfan2]

can't get enough of this song! love this version too!

[@MancKev]

@stalefish052 My pleasure man...this concert is timeless..it will never get old, glad you enjoy it mate!

[@MancKev]

G'day :P I'm from Manchester, England. I just happened to be out in Calfornia when the Pumpkins played the acoustic gig at the Soma club.

[@stalefish052]

Thank you MancKev. I've been watching the shit out of the lost concert.

[@MancKev]

No problem at all man, pleasure is mine...and yeah gotta agree with you there about being up there...I personally cannot think of another band with so many great songs spanning over the years.

[@pezpezz]

One of the best version.

[@mapatofu10]

The real soma was a mix of many many guitar recordings and sounded amazing. Dont think live shows do it much justice.

[@MancKev]

My opinion completely, easily my fave of allll time too..

[@bunionblood8]

kickass ball crushing solo

[@jasonbloss]

@DCneger dude i have thought the exact same thing ever since i watched this years ago. that 3rd note is such perfect blissful feedback and something i have never been able to achieve or replicate. billy is one of the greatest guitarists of the nineties just because of this solo.

[@RobynnIsobelle]

instant goosebumps.

[@davidmack4495]

took me to another place..........

[@iagobroxado]

Thanks so much for posting these videos. I could only dream about this back in 1995 when I started to listen to the Pumpkins. By the way, I agree with those saying that Kenny G on the cello is so friggin' annoying.. :D

[@MancKev]

Yes yes yes!!!!, SP are great while driving, especially the older stuff like Siamese Dream, Gish, Pisces Iscariot. etc etc.... Not the same these days though...still makes me tremble when they play certain songs though, like Soma, Rocket, Starla...and tons of others come to think about it..

[@justinorville]

Everyones bitching about the cello but I think its strange tone is pure pumpkins and especially fits the song which sounds very nostalgic. Anyways fantastic band, fantastic song.

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

I agree with you, man. I love the fact that they were not afraid to experiment with new arrangements and sounds in those years. Their gigs were a unique sonic journey every single time! It was definitely their 'golden age' as a band.

[@PrinceRufus2]

That cello sounds like a bumblebee playing a trumpet.

[@MancKev]

this performance of soma..is the only one of the lost concert gig that d'arcy & james didnt get shot on video unfortunatley, and i agree she was pretty damn hot back then..weird or not. She was hot with the long hair too. Their best song, imo.

[@MancKev]

I went in '96, he didn't have hair...the original band rock, best foursome in the world by far...plus on the secret I lusted for D'arcy so much haha what kinda music does your mum expect you to like??, Nothing wrong with SP's style of music...maybe she wants you to attend some Slipknot concerts or somethings....lol

[@filippiakos]

amo questa canzone... con questa song ho scoperto billy & co.

[@zanofra86]

stunned :)

[@dogongdoging]

killer guitar solo

[@carsiotto]

I FACKING AGREE!

[@Jept]

its packed full of impurity and isnt that great . which is probably why i love it so much. one of my favourite singers.

[@MancKev]

Yep, it sure is JC

[@MancKev]

I totally agree, it makes me feel great too...BUT...the lryics are "so let the sadness come again" :P

[@MancKev]

I saw them years ago do an acoustic session at the Soma Club in San Diego CA. Amaaaazing.... What concert was your brother at?

[@jasonmgomez]

i saw them at Soma in Jan 96? before they released Mellon Collie. Jonathan Melvoin was keyboardist. it was a 3 hr. show (not acoustic) and I stood in back next to the (illegal, probably) cameraman.... Tickets for the show were only available 1 day before the show at local independent record stores. I only got tix because I was working at Lou's in Encinitas

[@stalefish052]

still going

[@MancKev]

Hahaha easy mistake to make... and yes SP are my favourite band without a shadow of a doubt, they have been my fave since the ealy 90's...I have friends that haven't even heard a SP song in their lives...I'm like "WTF!!!..wake the fook up" lol I love them!

[@tedgrowney8981]

This was right before Corgan shaved his head. You could really see his bald spot on top of his head.

[@EgoTrippin311]

the tone of them at least

[@bearjmu]

yeah the strings kill this song man

[@soyunestupido]

Es que él es tan qiwibjdndkgfwnfjrkfj 😿😿😿😿😿😿

[@jdavids2]

Billy looks like Robert Smith at the beginning with all that hair

[@veca83]

i will never get billy's live singing...

[@raiuno99]

What is the guitar effects billy uses in 2.05?

[@bubbadehut]

I want to smash that cello John Belushi Style!!

[@ROCKNINJA777]

is that the awesome chamberlain on drums?

[@ternalator]

@SiameseRobert yea theres sumthin about it. the tones kinda off

[@PumpkinPieces33]

ditto.

[@MancKev]

she is there, just never in any of the shots, its mostly billy and howard haha

[@nico352]

@MancKev jc=jimmy chamberlain=jesus christ of drum

[@OwrKeeng]

The Cello didn't need to play all the time :|

[@MancKev]

English language is great......

[@snarf4president]

the strings ruin it

[@therealsolstice]

the cello was a bad idea.... although it could have been improved by better effects. i've heard better cellos on the shitty casio keyboards you can plunk on at walmart.

[@MancKev]

I can't stand Coldplay to be honest...I mean ok, they have had maybe 2 or 3 ok songs I guess...not a spot on the Pumpkins ass though :P check out my other Pumpkin videos..I have a few.. take care

[@Glixity]

This performance kinda sucked. That vocal effect sounds terrible. Solo is still epic !

[@johnmorisi8]

that is the ugliest cello ive ever heard in my whole life.

[@clownnookie]

Have you heard any of the new songs that he's been releasing for free? I'll actually buy the album/double album, whatever eventually comes out. I'm still holding out faith that they'll be as good as Siamese Dream. He's always bitching that people want him to go back to this old sound. I don't think it's that they want him to go back to the old sound, just that they want him to create songs that are this intense once again ...
