The Smashing Pumpkins - Soma - 4/27/1994 - Fillmore Auditorium (Official)

[@justins3847]

There is no stereo that can play this loud enough. As I have always felt.

[@sidneylacroix204]

I’ve always thought the same thing

[@kristopherryanwatson]

i third this. ...i like what you did there.

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

THIS!!

[@pleasemisguideme345]

The mix on this album is annoyingly low. I sincerely hope this gets fixed one day

[@ledzep9943]

You’re goddamn right 😎🤙🏼

[@wayevs]

best song on Siamese and one of the best in pumpkins discography... haunting and dramatic pure emotion! genius songwriting.

[@XChristianNoirX]

And then the camera man zooms in on the bass player during one of the best guitar solos of all time. 😂

[@michaelcole8999]

Listened to this since I was a young teen, and identify with it still. It always holds its own

Hummer is a masterpiece too

[@radmilailic5564]

Their music was so unique at that time that that no one could even copy them.That makes them absolutely extraordinary.Then and now and in the future.

[@JTGemini3]

Billy Corgan is a genius, I don’t care what anyone says.

[@MsXynex]

no one cody copy them even today

[@adamrosner7736]

@@JTGemini3 I know lots of people complain about the caricature of Billy, but I think he is leagues ahead of his contemporaries at his prime, both as a musician and song writer

[@JeskoS1]

Billy destroyed the whole grunge scene by using the very exact power chords in such an unique way, imho! After MCIS he scorched the earth! Genius in the 90s. Sadly so bad right now.... I miss the real Smashing Pumpkins. This is coming from a die hard Nirvana fan...

[@theinternetsucks2237]

The pumpkins took a lot of shit and they were up there with any band ever. Pink Floyd, Pavement, Radiohead, Soundgarden, maybe better. Siamese Dream was a masterpiece.

[@russellharrington8256]

I’m old enough to have heard plenty of bands but the raw sound and energy of the 90’s live stuff is absolutely brilliant, unbeatable

[@drtoboggan7469]

Legend has it The hole is still there on the Fillmore stage that Billy stomped his pedal straight thru the stage going into the solo of this very song.

[@EugeneAxe]

Jimmy Chamberlain is so damn epic.

[@RuffisInc]

Billy snapped his string before the solo and still it pulled so well

[@mcathawk1490]

Then he grabbed another guitar and it wasn’t working

[@haroldniver]

So fitting too, since he wrecked his guitar during the studio recording of that solo as well.

[@waltergoring8428]

Siamese Dream was one of those albums from the 90's that was just so perfect, it will live forever for many of us. Soundtrack of my youth. Brings me back.

[@roydenbellman]

Corgan such an underrated guitarist and musician. Much love to him and the Pumpkins always and forever.

[@bfpierce]

I do not believe he is underrated.

[@roydenbellman]

I meant he is underrated as a guitarist not as a musician and frontman. @@bfpierce

[@JackCecil]

This song burns the souls fuel. Thank you Billy. Siamese Dream was one of the albums that shaped my mental landscape.

Mu too. Hey me estas loko ese nunca se me ocurrió pero es igual para mi

d'arcy is just beautiful

[@ECpian05]

Around 4:27 especially!! Just as the camera starts to pan out, the enormous wall of sound and illuminating light that radiates from her is breathtaking.

[@georgealonso119]

she's the ultimate goddess...billy's pure genius...james is way underrated e needs more recognition

[@SloopADoopy]

Billie has always had amazing pedal effects that amplify the intensity of the lyrics and song. Wonderful!

[@gergelyfliegauf5287]

I am a Smashing Pumpkins fan since about the early nineties, not knowing every track, like this. I heard this about a month ago and I am amazed totally. Being 44 it is never too late. And the drummer explodes. (Sorry for my English.)

[@philearl7614]

Never to late pal! \m/

[@kristopherryanwatson]

I second this. Glad you loved this track, it's one of their best tracks ever. Easily one of their top 25 in my opinion. Rock on !

[@chrislehr5812]

I’m in the same boat: 38 and dumbfounded that I’ve never known about this song until now. I’ve watched this concert numerous times now, and this song always grabs my soul. I’m currently trying to make my wife a SP convert. My kids, well, they have no choice in that matter. Haha

[@MrGunwitch]

No offence, but if you didn't know this song then you're not a Pumpkins fan. It's like saying you're a Hendrix fan but have never heard Voodoo Chile.

[@samwilson2046]

@@MrGunwitch easy to say that if you’ve always had access to all their music. I agree though, that it is astonishing they hadn’t heard soma.

[@Cris18Martinez]

jesus those sustained bends during the solo 👌

[@jakejuntilla1752]

literally just shed a tear listening to this. Gave me a feeling of sentimentality and nostalgia

[@lucp.6583]

The guitar is insane it has become one of my favorite pumpkin songs recently

[@pascalgodeau5952]

I'm still haunted by this song and by the solo to this day.

[@paulbredin1160]

this and Cherub rock are the definitive SP songs for me - ethereal driving energy with that incredible off world solo that rips open your soul

[@TheDarkInstall]

The fucking solo is not of this world. Endless, twisting of the knife.

It’s amazing

lol D'arcy at 4:52 like, wtf is with this dude running back and forth behind us?

[@kristopherryanwatson]

sound tech most likely. nothing more peculiar than that. i guess you haven't been to many live shows because it is not uncommon to see that once in a while.

[@EugeneAxe]

Siamese Dream era was their best.

eaaaasily Gish to Siamese dream after that he got to experimental and got away from these more 60ish melodies

[@roydenbellman]

@@rhuttonaa247 Their masterpiece was Mellon Collie in my opinion.

[@rhuttonaa247]

@roydenbellman that's true actually. I would never argue that, fantastic album

[@roydenbellman]

@@rhuttonaa247 Double album my friend. lol I think it was probably the greatest rock album in history since about 1960 and the start of rock 'n roll with Chuck Berry, Little Richard and of course Elvis Presley. There is not one single weak track on that double album and that is an astounding achievement. I only regret they farted around with Mellon Collie spelling, lol, should have been Melancholy, the real spelling. The album is so utterly nihilistic and real, why mess with the title Billy? A fruit and a dog? What were you thinking Mr. Corgan?

[@FlamingLip74]

How I love to come back to my 20’s….

[@SaumBodhi]

This show is a couple weeks after Cobain died. Anyway, great stuff. Im surprised they had so many guitar effects even back then, reverse delay and stuff. Pumpkins always knew just the right blend of effects and dynamics. Great writing and unique vocal tone.

[@jtwee6590]

oh yeah, most guitar effects were designed back in the 60s... people being brave enough to utilize them live was the question (even back in the 90s, computer-controlled effect boards were commonplace, and billy used one constantly)

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

😮😮😮

[@BlackStarFan007]

I saw them the day Cobain died.

[@FesteredTsar]

Funny enough... I was at Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream tour Biloxi, MS April 8th, 1994... the day they found his body. I remember Red Red Meat opened up for them. And everyone was talking about it on the floor while we were waiting... they had seen it on TV before coming. This was well before cell phones were readily available.

[@rebuttalc2075]

Great guitar solo in this song

[@divyjain123456]

The band in its prime. Look at D'arcy. God damn. Chamberlin hasn't changed a bit. Billy with hair !!

This always brings me back to 1996 when I saw SP in Cascais/Portugal. So beautiful.

I'll betray myself To anyone, lost, anyone but you So let the sadness come again On that you can depend on me, yeah Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah When god sleeps in bliss And I'm all by myself As I've always felt And I'll betray myself To anyone
