It's just the most relaxed and happy I've seen billy post gish and Siamese dream when he was still a kid. I consider this prime billy. That and Vancouver mcis
I love how D'arcy and Billy were smiling really wide towards the end of the song and looked like they were having a lot of fun and James just looks so serious
I think Billy is laughing and smiling because he's having fun with this guitar, haven't seen him with it before. So my guess is that he's trying it out.
@@Jnels27 It looks the same but I think that’s a different 335 he using here. The tonight tonight one has a trapeze tailpiece and extra switch on the lower “horn”. I think he uses it on the other songs from the this concert
Back in the day I was told that Pumpkins didn't sound good live, so I never went. And now I see all of these older live performances on CZcams, and I couldn't agree LESS! I think my biggest regret in life was that I never got to see them play. Their music defined my entire young adulthood and I still love it to this day. Billy, please get the band back together. And send me a ticket. :)
moral of the story, never listen to ones opinion. I went to a concert last summer even though it was just billy and Jeff they were still amazing! & front row too! :)
+Christian Van Meurs If you get a chance, they're doing their '16 rendition of In Plainsong, which a lot of fans enjoyed in '15. I couldn't go then... I'm not missing it this time!
You get a chance to see them live again, they planning a 25 year anniversary tour for Mellon Collie & the Infinite sadness. New 30 song album and tour🤙🏼 * Check out live performance on Howard Stern show
From 5:17 onwards it's lovely to see Billy smiling at James, then D'arcy, (with her actually smiling back) then the drummer in a genuine moment of "This fucking rocks!!". I miss that.
I love the Adore-era version of Thru the eyes of ruby. This is a fantastic performance of that. I honestly think this is right up there with their performance of it in aula magna of the same year. This one is more spare, which they've done some really fantastic versions with and really scratch the 'itch'. My favorite Smashing Pumpkins, showcased in true majesty. Thanks for uploading!
absolutely beautiful… the way they just come up with those beautiful melodies right there in front of millions without messing up on a single thing is so awesome.. nothing beats the pumpkins !!!
how many rings would the Lakers have won if Kobe and Shaq stayed together? How many great albums would the pumpkins have made had Billy & Co. stayed united? Great questions to ponder.
Wait what? Billy Corgan wrote all the songs and played all the instruments except drums. And once Corgan found a good drummer he made some pretty good albums. Check out Oceania and Monuments to an Elegy.
+brian lawless I think this is one of those rare songs where it's a tale of two different versions. Meaning whether it's bombastic or spare, it can be equally special and magical. (And you're right, there are some absolutely blistering versions of the song with Jimmy back there)
If Jimmy had still been in the band at that point there wouldn't have been an Adore era. That was a reaction to the loss of Jimmy more than it was a conscious decision to change musical styles.
This more musically subdued version really allows Billy to focus on the sublties and clrity of his vocal runs. As he usually oversings or rolls his eyes when he does this song live.
I'm speculating slightly, but the grape vine is running hot, with Billy stating how great it is to have his friend back and she happy, healthy and playing bass again. I'm thrilled even at the prospect
Interesting version. I wonder if some of that was jammed. Billy's smile at parts reminds me of my & bandmates "someone fucked up so now we're winging it for the rest of the song" smiles :D
First time I ever heard D'Arcy's microphone on in a live performance, haha. I've seen her mouthing vocals many times but assumed that BIlly kept the mic off because she sang out of key. Actually she doesn't sound too bad
Wow. You assumed Billy kept her mic off? What’s with people constantly dragging her all the time? She sang on the records so why wouldn’t she sing live? Look up “Beautiful”. It’s a nice duet between Billy and D’arcy.
3:40 D’arcy’s part here was one of my favs from her. Just an amazing line up. Anyone putting her down should have to go on tour with SP and memorize all of this music. I don’t see a music stand, do you?
People...can someone explain to me! When I bought the CD that has this song, the heavy final part that is in this live version was in the studio version! Why is it that when I search for the studio version nowadays, I can't find this final improvised part? I've searched everywhere and can't find it.
The fact that Corgan and Iha can improvise solos like that is nuts.
they've been jamming like that sense they were new wave..
This isn’t improvised. They played the heavy part earlier in the MCIS tour as a coda to the “normal” version of Ruby.
@@interstate366 I disagree with Darcy's surprised look but not here to argue. It rocks :)

Amazing shit right 1990s
I love how D'arcy and Billy were smiling really wide towards the end of the song and looked like they were having a lot of fun and James just looks so serious
Best Part :)

EdouardPicard0224 he used it to record tonight tonight!
@@Jnels27 ohhhh i see i see

1:32 D'arcy's back vocals were just the greatest. God i miss her.
Her voice compliments Billy perfectly.
Miss D'arcy she just takes me back better days love and health always miss ya
I love this version really fantastic
Spaceghost Zero nice t shirt
❤
7:30 the transition they did is so mesmerizing. this song is so magical
Live ,amazing!
You are everywhere
@@alexmalch HAHAHA
Very rarely is Billy this happy with a performance. This would have been even more epic with Jimmy. D'arcy had great tone here.

+Brooklyn *෴* That's awesome! I heard some good things and I'd had tentative plans to see them in the Pittsburg area (whatever date that was).
3 out of 4 original members are back together.

The pumpkins are really something soo special.
an improv'd solo from james? this was his peak during the pumpkins
Ahaha true
Whatever his solo sucks
@@djoudjou01Wtf you on lol? That solo was crazy good
@@FrxBass talking about the James iha solo
The corgan's one is pretty good as usual
@@djoudjou01 Corgan's is just random shredding without any feel, Iha's solo has a lot more feeling behind it, I guess it depends on the listener
@@FrxBass listen the solo on "Here is no why" absolutely not schredding
See Billy smile and have so much fun at 06:21 makes me so happy! What a performance!
fantastic version. This was a great gig.
this and the one from Brixton are the 2 best performances of this song.
Yep for sure
And dusseldorf
Love how much fun they're having, Billy's cracked laughing in the middle 😆 Cute. Love this song. They sound so great during this concert
From 5:17 onwards it's lovely to see Billy smiling at James, then D'arcy, (with her actually smiling back) then the drummer in a genuine moment of "This fucking rocks!!". I miss that.
Those two solos one after another are one of the best moments in music.

+clivel5755 I should edit and say the aula magna show was in '98
This isn't the Adore era yet, I would say it's post -mcis, pre-adore. 97 was a great live year for them though.
clivel5755 nothing beats this one. Jimmy is a God. czcams.com/video/NdjIdc9-13U/video.html
clivel5755 this still Mellon Collie era
forever one of the greatest band ever.. SP
nice to see them all having fun. Would love them to fully reform
R Davies They are now
3 out of 4 ain’t bad
6:10 The Mellon Collie Stratocaster was very jealous to see that Billy could not shred that Gibson. But wait... THAT TONE, OMG
Straight up good music.
absolutely beautiful… the way they just come up with those beautiful melodies right there in front of millions without messing up on a single thing is so awesome.. nothing beats the pumpkins !!!
EPIC rock gods.
Super epic mega tune. Darcy looking hot as hell
I adore Jimmy C but this is my fav live version of this song.
Epic version!!!
Nailed the shit out of that one.
Nailed the shit is a understatement
One of my favs! Absolute artistry!
how many rings would the Lakers have won if Kobe and Shaq stayed together? How many great albums would the pumpkins have made had Billy & Co. stayed united? Great questions to ponder.
theyre back and put another great one daddy
RIP Kobe

Maybe none. Sometimes things end for a reason.
We’ll never know. Life is so tragic and short.
Great version of a great song
Perfect & beautiful 🦢
love the shirts and Ties
Were there! I've seen them several times and this was one of better gigs! Thx :)
Goosebumps man... 7:33
Ah, shit. When I see Billy wearing a tie, I know it's when Jimmy was outta' the band.
😂😂
6:18 Happiness on stage =)
How fucking good is that part
Wow!!! That cross over solo is majestic.
Wow! This Is Just Incredible!
wow i wish i could put this version on my car stereo!! Billy ROCKS!
I love this song more each time.
That was incredible
You must be new to there music
@@mikeschiller5496 why do u say that
Completely Awesome
Simon Gray yes this band is amazing in there prim 1990s
not the same without jimmy he's an absolute monster on the other versions of this song ive seen
+brian lawless I think this is one of those rare songs where it's a tale of two different versions. Meaning whether it's bombastic or spare, it can be equally special and magical. (And you're right, there are some absolutely blistering versions of the song with Jimmy back there)
+clivel5755 its still good but any performance ive seen of the pumpkins without jimmy chamberlin always seems to lack energy
cactus sac matt was great in the adore era. I've often wondered how jimmy would've fitted that. not sure it would've suited.
If Jimmy had still been in the band at that point there wouldn't have been an Adore era. That was a reaction to the loss of Jimmy more than it was a conscious decision to change musical styles.
OD with Jonathan Melvin in NY on 1996. Billy said to Jimmy "Get out" ;)
This more musically subdued version really allows Billy to focus on the sublties and clrity of his vocal runs. As he usually oversings or rolls his eyes when he does this song live.
Fantastic!
DARCY!
who has the courage to not enjoy
Miss that original band lineup there will definitely never be that sound that they started from day one
god that kicks in thick at 517...awesome
D'Arcy Wretzky babes
Aldrich Yuhengco and she's coming back in 2017! so happy!
patkawasaki where did you get the news?
I'm speculating slightly, but the grape vine is running hot, with Billy stating how great it is to have his friend back and she happy, healthy and playing bass again. I'm thrilled even at the prospect
Aldrich Yuhengco and so Cool
Ha she never came back don’t start rumors
Rockin’ Fuckin’ Roll.
"Never judge a book before reading the ending." WOWIE. Amazing version. Hit me like a shot of tequila.
Versione fantastica, che non conoscevo... Cazzo di figata
The original always will be forever that I live on earth
Magic.
Ahh its Billy let me take a solo here corgan.
that first part where D’arcy took off her jacket then picked up her bass....so hot lol
Just wow ❤❤❤
so awesome
The tones where amazing
Always Loved the studio version but WOW how good was that?! Huge rockstar moments throughout.. Great ending!! 👏👏👏
This is the best
They played this one in London the other night. I actually blurted out "oh my god."
amo a estas personas tan hermosas talentosas y rockeras
By far the best live performance of Ruby.
This show is actually pretty awesome i love it
This is my Favorite SP song and I get to see them again Oct 7th
holy shit they were tight!
Clean! Great job! And chords are perfect
great!!
Memorables años 90s. Atmósfera oscura y mística.
7:21.... sheer class......
Interesting version. I wonder if some of that was jammed. Billy's smile at parts reminds me of my & bandmates "someone fucked up so now we're winging it for the rest of the song" smiles :D
Anthony Mercuri Might be he smiled because they nailed an alternative version? Either way a cool version of the song
Could't agree more. But this is great.
7:33
Fucking hell.
First time I ever heard D'Arcy's microphone on in a live performance, haha. I've seen her mouthing vocals many times but assumed that BIlly kept the mic off because she sang out of key. Actually she doesn't sound too bad
unknownkingdom which would be ironic considering Billy sings out of key all the time
d’arcy may not be the best vocalist, but her voice uniquely complimented billy’s own one-of-a-kind voice.
As a matter of fact I can't hear her voice in the most part of their performances...
You can hear her in the version of Soma on Vieuphoria
Wow. You assumed Billy kept her mic off? What’s with people constantly dragging her all the time? She sang on the records so why wouldn’t she sing live? Look up “Beautiful”. It’s a nice duet between Billy and D’arcy.
Insane version😳👏🏻
maître d' Billy is my favorite Billy
first time ive seem him happy
🤘🤘
Wow!!! ❤❤
The nod to James
it seems that this was an excellent show!...Perhaps in this particular song I missed the power of Jimmy in drums
how do they have so many different versions of the same song.
WOW
♡♡♡♡ omg
i still want and need these people. jimmy's not in this one....
The best fcking video on CZcams 🎉🤘
Who is in drums? Matt Walker?
Seems like it. He's a beast.
That moment when James screeches into the solo...
Visceral!
3:40 D’arcy’s part here was one of my favs from her. Just an amazing line up. Anyone putting her down should have to go on tour with SP and memorize all of this music. I don’t see a music stand, do you?
7:15 epic
WOW!
holy shit!!!
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
i love/miss D'Arcy
SUBLIME CAR NECESSAIRE
Do I hear a reprise that can also be heard on the Zero single's medley of outtake recordings?
2022!!!)))
People...can someone explain to me! When I bought the CD that has this song, the heavy final part that is in this live version was in the studio version! Why is it that when I search for the studio version nowadays, I can't find this final improvised part? I've searched everywhere and can't find it.
Do caralho!!!!
