Smashing Pumpkins - Jellybelly (old version) - Enter Sandman/Paranoid (tease)

1992-01-28
Luxor, Koeln (DE)
---
Enter Sandman [Metallica] tease during the song; and Paranoid [Black Sabbath] tease at the end.
About the song:
This song is rather mysterious. There are only 3 recordings of it. The first time it was played, it was very raw, and had lyrics from "STP" for two verses and then "Offer Up" lyrics over the outro. The second time it was played, it was a bit more structured, and it just had lyrics from "STP." The third time, it had lyrics from "STP" and "Offer Up." So it was branded 'Offer Up (long)' for a while, and then it was just admitted that no one knew what to call it. Recently, Billy identified the song as "an early version of Jellybelly." Whether the song just had its title lifted or somehow developed over time is unknown, but the officially released song "Jellybelly" as we know it is not similar at all. The lyrics listed are from the 1/20/92 performance.

Lyrics
[unintelligible]
this is where i left my friends
some are real and some pretend
all of you, you knew me well
because i've never ever been
so strong
now alone
this is where i left my friends
some are real and some pretend
all of you, you knew me well
because i've never ever been
so strong
now alone
now alone
now alone
now alone
offer up your vanity
offer up your sanity
offer up your everything
offer up to me
offer up your sanity
offer up your vanity
offer up your everything
you offer up your everything

[@David-ob2gn]

Billy might've been joking if called it an early version of Jelly Belly.

Love the Trace Elliot’s AH300 black light behind D’arcy!

1:38 JIMMY LOOKS SO HAPPY

[@LarissaGoldberg]

Proof that Billy is a control freak and that James is a talented musician. HA

[@2000jago]

I didn't see any "proof" of that in this video...

[@sydb]

this song is "STP". this is not jellybelly, the Corgan reference to it being an early version is untrue / incorrect. the song is called STP and was a very early smashing pumpkins song. it is in reference to the extremely potent LSD-like hallucinogenic drug named after the motor oil "STP". It hit SF in the late 60s and as it lasts in excess of 72 hours it was causing a lot people to have bad trips and freak out. this is where i left my friends.

+H Hebert I've been a fan for 25 years. Thats how.

[@uzumaki6759]

Wow fan of 25 years and not getting bored of SP stuff..Think I'm going to become like you, I've been fan for 3 years

[@starwinksbackfromtheskypit6790]

This is my soul

[@TheNumberOneGuy]

This song is called STP. Appeared on the Siamese Dream deluxe edition. Sounds nothing like Jellybelly... wonder what gave people the idea that it was.

[@SuicideSeason4545]

Billy corgan himself confirmed it

[@MarcosSpinelli]

wow.. thanks for this rarity!

[@ValisX]

On 1.5 speed you can kind of hear how it might have evolved into Jellybelly

[@persephonespalace]

mesmerizing

[@maxwellcarpenter10]

Jellybelly? u ok? that sounds nothing like jelly belly

[@sebastianperdomo3687]

old version

[@David-ob2gn]

@@sebastianperdomo3687 It shares no riffs or melody with Jelly Belly, and so it doesn't sound like an old version of Jelly Belly.

[@neilperrin4289]

@@David-ob2gn true, this doesn’t resemble Jellybelly that ended up on Mellon Collie at all, but on set lists from this period, this song was referred to as Jellybelly. He probably just liked the name and used it for something else

[@MyberTube]

Raw & hungry....

[@dylanscott3742]

antstien neitstna, my to fav sp records. I never really considered them to be grunge. are they? I always felt they were indie guitar rock, which is just another way of saying grunge, I guess.

[@RandyRhoadsRules3]

Dylan Scott I don’t consider them grunge. They were their own thing. Very unique band.

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

This Hidden gem reminds of the band LoOp, very space rock

[@justinwilliam4644]

How is this an old version of jelly belly?

[@o.g5211]

Cuz it's not new

[@cass2303]

This is STP

[@IHATEBO3]

This is a really cool jam, It's obviously not jellybelly but I really don't think it's STP either like some have said, the riffs here sound nothing like stp

[@nancykillsyou]

Uhh, it kinda sounds more like the obligatory drop D end of concert extended jam outro at every pumpkins concert ever.

[@spkilledme]

Does anybody have background info on this song?

[@xXXBongToker420xXx]

any actual recordings of this version?

[@Kain128]

On the deluxe version of Siamese Dream. It's listed by its correct title, "STP."

[@hunterhunter4679]

This isn’t jellybelly but it sounds fucking awesome. Someone figure out what this actually is

[@hunterhunter4679]

Also this looks like fish era, not 92

[@SuicideSeason4545]

It’s an early early version of it

[@strobelightgaming1559]

I read the whole Wikipedia for Mellon collie and apparently they wrote a ton of material for Siamese dream that didn’t make it so they had songs written years before they made an album

[@papadelta9485]

@@hunterhunter4679 its 92, and a song originally called jellybelly

[@timothyh8623]

@YYYxEEE yeah somewhere, but i cant find it sorry

[@TheNumberOneGuy]

Yeah, not even slightly. It has the same lyrics, and the same riff, and the same solo... IT MUST BE JELLYBELLY

[@Jolopizza]

sounds like deftones

[@aidanlindsay7210]

doesn't sound like STP of Jellybelly

[@dylanscott3742]

never liked when the sp s went so grungy.

[@uzumaki6759]

Dylan Scott Gish and Siamese dream is the best album of SP and it's grunge. Fuck MCIS and adore . Machina I and II is acceptable tho

[@RandyRhoadsRules3]

@@uzumaki6759 MCIS is incredible wtf. Adore is pretty damn good as well but not on the same level.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Vladislav The Poker MCIS is the Pumpkins best record.

@@uzumaki6759 SP were never grunge neither they liked to be perceived as grunge.

Grunge is such a stupid, meaningless term
