True .... I went to see his band when "life begins again" came out... he is unbelievable live...

[@bluebearschoolofmusic4124]

WOW. I can't believe this exists! My name is Cole, and I was at this show and it was INCREDIBLE. To say this was a super special show, is an understatement. It was the grand reopening of The Fillmore, which had closed after the 1989 earthquake that rocked the Bay Area. The lighting and visual show, as I herd it, was done by Pink Floyd's crew. I should say that the entire night was really special. The opening acts were 4 Non Blondes, Ry Cooder and American Music Club. Only 500 of the 1200 or so tickets sold to the public, with the rest being for friends, family, press and celebrities. I remember members of the Grateful Dead and Metallica walking around the room just as giddy as we all were to be in such a special event. I was/am a massive Pumpkins fan and I waited in line for hours in the early morning (like you used to have to do if you wanted to see a show), and I was the last person in line that got them. An acquaintance offered to buy my pair of tickets for $400 each, but I wouldn't miss this for the world. I still have the poster.... It was a show for the ages.. Last tidbit of cool about the show that I feel I should share... Right before the Pumpkins came out, the lights went dark and on the screen behind the stage they showed the infamous car chase scene from the classic movie Bullitt, which is set in San Francisco, and climaxes with Steve McQueen running the bad guys off the road, who explode in a ball of fire. At that moment, the lights came on and the band walked out.... hence the insane screaming that you hear when this video starts. God, what a show.... :)

Billy Corgan is a highly underrated guitarist.

[@GirlWithCuriousHair1]

Rance Hamilton I know--when I didn't see his name on Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest guitarists I had to do a double take.

[@Thomasfrommygirl]

But they did include Kurt Cobain..... so twisted

[@Dbzmad34222]

Rance Hamilton its because rolling stone is a load o shit

[@aspaceproductions]

+Rance Hamilton Kurt Cobain was average at best on guitar. I'm sure even he would have admitted that. Half that list was the persons persona and popularity over pure skill and songwriting chops.

[@GoCotton]

+pelleman02wb Rating a guitarist is a highly dubious game to get into. I love the Smashing Pumpkins but I would rate Kurt Cobain over Billy in terms of guitar, purely because I prefer his riffs and songs and solos and noise. Obviously Billy is a much better guitarist in terms of skill, but that's a really bizarre way of looking at the guitar IMO. For example, there's a couple of guys in every guitar shop in the world right now that can play circles around Billy from a technical standpoint, but Billy writes infinitely better music than they do, so he's the one we give a shit about. It just so happens that a lot of the best writers tend to be technically very good guitarists, but it's the writing we're really rating.

I feel sorry for kids these days, they'll never know that smell and feeling of opening up a new CD that you've been waiting for forever, no leaks, no internet , just the 1 or 2 songs on the radio that you had heard,and then checking the booklet to see if you had the lyrics right.lol, and just the whole experience of everything to do with that new album, the music was almost like a bonus by the time your done looking threw everything. The 90's was truly the last decade where the music was a movement. and you felt it. and you still feel it when listening to SP, or rage, or STP or, PJ or Soundgarden or AIC... just so many of my heros gone..RIP. dont forget to smile.

[@DaveAnchovies]

i feel sorry for those who missed the real 90s bands, the fantastic underground scene ignored by monster arena bands and overblown festivals. People dont even understand the magnitude of Mudhoney, bands with no intention of being an alt rock star, bands you could actually talk to at the bar after. Oblivians, New Bomb Turks, Amphetamine Reptile...labels like Crypt, In the Red, RipOff wouldnt let you down...nurtured bands sidestepping "grunge b.s." and still fresh today. You had to dig for a Superchunk, Rocket From The Crypt Jay Reatards early raw punk, Dwarves...and youre just missing the current movement...mass marketing a band to kids...those days are over. the real stuff is under the radar

[@johnnymnemonic9991]

This video is a gem from beginning to end. Anyway, I want to tell you something. I'm in my 40s now, so I was a teen in the 90s. At the time I was crazy for Nirvana, Pearl Jam and other minor bands. I knew Smashing Pumpinks exist but didn't listen to, don't know why. Well, I started listening to them relatively recently and, it's difficult to explain but... when I listen to them it's just like I'm listening to the soundtrack of my youthness, even if I never listen to them at the time! It's just like they were able to capture exactly the vibes of that era, like no other. Or maybe it's only a joke of my mind. ps. sorry I'm not english mothertongue

[@TheIr2way]

i grew up on all of them just like you, even though i followed them, like alot of bands it always take me back to my youth when i close my eyes and listen to the songs, so i feel you enthusiasm never to late to become a fan of great music, i only bought all their cd's in 2000 when i could afford it, had it on dub tapes and mix tapes before that, peace brother ;)

[@HansProbs]

yeah man, siamese dream and mellon collie are masterpieces. this show captures this band at such an insane time in music. the energy is off the charts and to see Billy like this is special. i was late to the pumpkin party too. but WOW, does it grab a hold of you and never let go…for twenty years now. Corgan created something truly timeless in those early nineties.

[@Bruce74710]

Totally agreed!

[@Thomas.3698]

I also so totally agree. I discovered them in 2008. I can't explain it either. They're like the best of the best of the best. I wish I had taken all those invites to their shows at that time. Never went.. i could Kick myself.

[@travistravinyle4207]

As a long time bootleg collector and fan, this is indeed a gem, Soma as an opener is reason enough to dive into this gig plus the pro shot vid and audio. James and Billy's guitars are also mixed at proper equal volumes....this is a great capture. Although I will say like most great bands from this era, this (at least it appears to me) to be an average show for the band. Their not firing on every single cylinder. When they launch into Geek USA there is a bit of a strange feeling its not at their top level. Having said that there are some stellar moments. Even on a "off night" or the band is not quite as into as other nights they would still blow almost any band off the stage. Great show.

[@seign]

+Travis Travinyle They were definitely off a lot during this show but like you said, it's a great capture video and audio-wise.

So I assure you, I have a many many diff shows of theirs audio and/or video and believe me... the Metro ‘93 performance is nowhere near the BEST show out there that many Pumpkin fans want to give it as its title!

[@melonhead49]

OH my... this is a hidden Gem!!

[@mandomtz]

Truly a god like band during this time. No band has been able to convey teenage angst, the heartbreak the fuzzy romantic splendor of young love, the carefree joy of no responsibility; but also the sexual frustration and burst of melodramatic anger that punctuate one's adolescence in such powerful and timelessly nostalgic way. Plus, they looked cool as fuck and had the chops and creativity to back it up. This video is truly a time machine.

[@dynjarren7523]

This was the peak! I’m glad I got to see them during the Siamese Dream Tour 1993. It was a great show and loud! I know they were playing over 120dbs. I could feel the sound waves on my chest. It was crazy! I had to put pieces of napkin paper in my ears. It was so loud and powerful, like an Airplane taking off during the fast songs. And people were smoking 🚬 Cush because there was a cloud of smoke 💨! I could smell it. I think I got a contact high from it. And I remember the girls in the audience all yelled out “I shall be free” when he sang that during Rocket 🚀. I Shall Be Free in Unison! It was incredible! 💥🔥🎸😎 Thanks to whoever fixed this video and uploaded it! Great Job!

[@grizzlywhisker]

Personally, I thought the Pumpkins peak performances were during the Mellon Collie era when they still had the original 4 members but had a couple more albums and major hit songs under their belt. Honestly I love everything they put out from the early days up until they fired Jimmy from the band, I feel like they were never the same band after that and the music went in a direction I didn't like as much.

[@C6ZR1]

[@malkn1754]

i wan't even born when these songs were made and I'm just now starting to listen to them. So far I've liked every song I've listened to from the smashing pumpkins. I've been listening to them on repeat.

[@alukuhito]

I'm actually so old that I remember a time when Smashing Pumpkins weren't even a band. Disarm was the song that caught my attention. There was nothing like it on the radio at the time. From today's perspective, maybe it doesn't sound all that different from other rock songs, but back then it was a pretty bold song to put out. Ever since, I've been a fan. To be honest though, I haven't listened to much of what they made after the big break up (2000?) to CYR, their latest album. I do like CYR though, even though it's a quite different sound. I'm looking forward to hearing what they're currently recording. It's supposed to be back to the heavy guitars. We'll see.

SM I saw them of course even if i had to die for it, but in 96 my two friends presented me with back to back shows of them so I went to 3 it still amazes me hoe bill is able to have the same voice everyday, not a scratch, so I see many of my loved ones being revered Layne Staley Chris Cornell but I thought 30 years later this guy would be a god, but no, still underrated, people this man might be the best musician of his time, best storyteller, I actually started believing in fairies when they came out! They changed my life, they changed music, no one has never ever played or attempted to sound like them! I'm hoping there are millions of fans out there he really deserves it💕

[@ToothyMTG1]

I agree totally!

[@ST4RCLOUD]

Grew up with this band. This show was fucking out of this world. Thanks for the upload 💕🎖⚡️

[@Frank19747]

Thank you for posting. Great show I wish I would have seen them during this era.

[@allstar930]

Lately, whenever I get a little drunk I end up watching vintage Pumpkins concerts on KZbin. I always wanted to play the bass like D'arcy when I grew up and have been fairly uninterested in this band ever since she left.

[@ThePurdue]

lol ur kidding...

[@cyberpunkholiday]

Im literally drinking some mixed drinks and decided to watch this. So, same here. Love the Pumpkins and can't help but go back to this particular period when I've had a few. Cheers.

[@MaulSlasher]

They've released some interesting stuff since she left. Machina I and II are pretty good records and Zeitgeist has it's moments. This line-up is pure magic tho.

[@Northernmight]

In terms of music, Oceania is frickin' amazing. The vocals seem very "Tired" on that one tho'. sadly.

[@starlodear2987]

The vocals put me off it

God, his voice is amazing ❤

I miss these days. Thank you for the upload.

Loving the unusually bass-driven version of Rocket.

[@dwilliams2166]

One of the best videos I have ever seen! Each member is perfect 👌🏼

[@Bass.sick.b1tch]

Man - these shows during this time were so clearly wearing on the band, but for us the fans, it created such and energy and passion … I feel so grateful to have been a part of these early shows, they were truly magical

[@truthseeker5745]

They came to New Zealand a couple times but i guess they were burnt out by then. I cant get enough of these early shows.

Billy: LIAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR

[@ertsem38]

Nostalgia infinita!

[@RichRobinson]

Shoutout to the front of house engineer for nailing the sonics. It sounds great. Not sure if this was mixed for a video release or what but this is hell of a desk mix if this is what we’re hearing. Wicked.

[@OBFLife]

From this far away, Billy looks like Arnie on his birthday in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

[@joshserna5299]

Gilbert, I wanna go higher than before

Saw them on this tour in Williamsburg, Virginia...first concert ever and I was in the 8th grade...they blew the top off my head I went right out of my mind...my friend said he thought the show sucked...we're not friends anymore...

Sound tech had those drums fucking dialed! Bravo!

[@scottylovesthings]

I saw them on this tour, but they didn’t start with “Soma” at my show. My all-time favorite Pumpkins song. Incredible.

[@vsully360]

Yep, I saw them in Tampa in I think November '93 and they opened with Rocket.

[@KyotoPeter]

This is bloody brilliant

[@kfranco145]

Holy crap. This is great video and sound

[@halfalligator6518]

probably the best sounding SP live concert from that era.

[@PomPotsy]

A better drummer than my man Mr Chamberlain there is not. Sublime

[@emperorhaz3856]

Just happy I get to watch this. Life is just gets better the older I get and i get to appreciate it more looking back.

[@MerciMurder]

God I love Billy

[@chrissylvester7266]

Love D'arcy

[@JTGemini3]

I loved the way they ended Silverfuck live. This band rocked on another level and Billy Corgan is so unfairly written off in the rock world. And he knows it. May the mob ever be fickle.

[@mattzarzana1865]

What a performance! This was two days before my 14th birthday. Learned the drums blasting Gish/Siamese Dream through my old CD player in my room on my old Pearl Forum kit. Jimmy was my flippin hero on drums- Geek U.S.A and Silverfuck... Holy crap gotta get those back in the regular rotation. Tristessa as well.

[@kymberlishea2036]

Damn. Disarm is perfection. The entire thing is perfect
