The Smashing Pumpkins perform "1979" at RADIO 94.7

[@db-mr1pc]

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

[@NoelRiggs]

“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 🤔

[@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

[@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.

[@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! 😆

[@memorygood2091]

Have to say this is the best live version of "1979", performance was perfect, recording was perfect, way better than the other live "1979" versions online, including the one with Howard Stern.

[@brooks5656]

Man, that Stern version is on a mountain in my book.

[@TheTriplewitch]

Drums were stellar.

[@babacloanta2003]

Still love this tune after 30 years...

[@gilmor5994]

One of the essential bands in the history of music, for sure.

[@frickindaniel]

this version is nuts. so good

[@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

[@ronibass3956]

Best comment ever.

[@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!!!!!!!!!

[@toniwonkanobi]

Drummer is locked in. Legit.

[@davidmurray2539]

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

[@ellavaderknows]

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.

[@chrisrich04]

Man killed it on the drums. Near perfect

[@Iwalkalonebegood]

1979 , I was riding my BMX through del amo mall in torrence California with my friends and being chased by security, spending many days at Redondo Beach pier spear fishing, running around Hermosa beach trying the latest Mary Jane. Running around Hollywood with older friends that could drive , taking a blotter trip and heading to Knotts berry farm, life was good. No cell phones, no Fentanyl, and always jamming out to KLOS on the way to torrence high school

[@JOANNEREEDvideos]

[@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!

[@ChristopherKane-hg1hp]

This just brighten up my afternoon 😊

[@rcruzguell]

Wow!!!!!! Great version on this song!!!! A bit more raw; perhaps more personal. Love it!!!!

[@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.
