i saw the show a couple days earlier in l.a. i waited outside for 5 hours to find a ticket on the first night and got shut out. waited outside for 5 hours on the second night and got shut out. waited outside 5 hours on the third night and finally got in. this song was the end of the acoustic set, transitioning into the electric, just as the ecstasy was kicking in. hands down, without a doubt, by far, no doubt, unquestionably the best show (out of 250+) that i have ever seen in my whole life.
fucking awesome so beautiful raw energy and vibrant sound format thank you for whoever captured this and put this format on you tube. this is a pure expierence heard by a lucky few but now enjoyed by many
whoa, i don't remember ever hearing this version. it'd be awesome if there were a studio version. we didn't get rocket when i saw em in phoenix in 12/96
i like to watch these video of live band on youtube, but the thing is when the song was recorded by just a camera of the audience the sound of it would be incredible no matter how shit the camera is .it just like you get the right sound compare to those perfect TV camera recorded. it's like that's how the sound of live music should be....
nice song, but they must habe been high here, Billy sounds like he swallowed a frog and can't even remember the lyrics clearly. Don't get me wrong I'm one of their biggest fans. I used to rock out with them since siamese dream came out. I guess I just expect their best.Rock on Billy.

The best version of the rocket... How I wish there was a studio version
I have this video since forever!! I dont know where I found it... but now I'm sharing it with the world!
guz Thanks brother!!
guz Thanks man!
I watched this video a few months after you uploaded it. I remember you typed "Alternative Version" instead of Alternate. Good memories.
Best Pumpkins song ever. I was sad when this song didnt make it to their greatest hits album. It totally should have been on there.

this is billy at the height of his genius and SP at the top of the world!
i love this version, so awesome.
I love this version
Excellent. Just great. Thank you. Never heard this before, but I do like it a lot. Looks like they're playing in a 60's LSD lounge heh.
yet another great performance by SP
Billy's amazing
This version ....eargasm.
I love this version!
best version of rocket, by far!
This is awesome! I actually like this version as well!
wow! amazing pumpkins best band
this is an awsome version of this song
This was from San Diego at a club called SOMA (no joke) from January 30, 1996. I have more of this concert under my youtube name Gish1973
takes one back to pumpkinland :o)
you should hear the "to sheila" version they played in 1999, it's in my favorites section, check it out it's amazing!
fuckin time capsule..god damn i miss the old days
I think this is live from the Phoenix -- a club in Toronto... seems familiar to me.

I really enjoyed that performance. From 3:30 on could be its own song and hold its own.
woahhh sounds like a completely different song
Billy has no hair? He shaved it off during the Mellon Collie era...when was this?
Wow, when is this from? It sounds very Mellon Collie influenced....
Maybe it was recorded prior to him shaving his head but after he started wearing a bald cap to see what he would look like.
Other then the vocals it barely sounds like Rocket in parts. Awesome, it's like a totally different song almost.
I don't know what you're taking about
Hey guz can you fix the title it irritates me. It's "alternate" not "alternative".
If you were a real SP fan you would know that he did up until mellon collie. wee taad

technically it's ok, but idiomatically it's incorrect.
Take me with you....it wont be long...they are just prepering us Jeff...New York ,China...its coming to fruition..God help us please..we are waiting.
the original is way better
