I’m sorry but this band is completely underrated. Billy Corgan is one of the best guitar players to have ever been born. He was fucking unstoppable in the early 90s.
@@ceezer.mp4 underrated cuz they were famous post-nirvana thanks to Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, their penultimate record before the 2000s (the decade they stopped making commercial successes and actually outside the mainstream)
the smashing pumpkins have the best psychedelic music ever.. get high or drunk and just listen to them for hours on end.. it seems like lifetimes have passed.. its great..
Ahhh this music takes me back to a lovely and high place in my college days! Pumpkins FOREVER!!! Thank you for this music guys (and gal). Thanks for this rare video too. Love it!
I've been listening to the Pumpkins for almost 3 months now and I already have about 68 of their songs on my ipod! I love them, they are one of my favorite bands and they always will be
chicagomylem: where did these videos (rare 001-006) come from? Where were they playing and for whom? These are definitely the best SP videos available on CZcams if you want to know what the SP were like before (and around) Gish. There are a few live from the Metro that are OK. Thanks so much for posting. Gish is simply incredible, and when it came out I listened to it many many many times (usually int he dark). I am 45 now and still listen to Gish daily. Top 10 album of all-time!
This performance was shot at Reckless Records on Broadway in Chicago. The band did a short set to promote the Gish album at the time. It was a free show in the late afternoon in front of 20 or so people.
It’s cool to see this again knowing that now he got that guitar back. I always felt sad watching this knowing that it was stolen possibly weeks after this performance.
Early Pumpkins was some of the best music I have ever heard. GISH is almost as important to me as Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffitti, if you believe it....maybe SOUNDGARDEN Badmotorfinger too?
I can't either. A personal show by SP would leave me on the floor in complete paroxysms from sensory overload. I know they're getting 'audience' response, but based on Billy's guitar and hair, this looks to be around the time they first appeared on SNL. I could be totally wrong, but I 'think' this is a live rehearsal, which close friends/family often attend, not to mention all of the FOH & Stage Monitor Engineers, general technicians, etc. mapping everything out for even a modest 'club' tour.
fuck, wow I don't know what else to say. Coming of age in the early 90s this band saw me through some very tough and trying times oh let the nostalgia consume me right now
Yeah i agree MarkSP im rly startin to get into SP nd more than jus their mainstream hits their wicked awesome cnt wait to see em in Boston 11/14 nd 11/15 SP ROCKS...
yea i think about that everytime in the crow, with the picture of him in the car with his bandmates.... Makes me think of the video to 1979 with BC with long hair :0P
Man D'arcy the thing that is cool about her is not only her driving low but ive never seen a musician with such good taste consistantly it always seems like her axes are out of fender custom shop
Really? That's good to know 'cause me and some friends were going to take some 'shrooms and I thought of putting on Gish and watching the Siva, Rhinosceros and Cherub rock videos off my Greatest Hits DVD. I've never taken shrooms before though, so I hope I'm in for a good surprise.
Seriously? The song Drown is featured on the soundtrack for the movie "Singles", which came out in '92 I believe. It's a Pumpkins classic that they still play at live shows even to this day.

Garcian Smith underrated??????? Smashing Pumpkins were one of the biggest bands in the world post-Nirvana, idk how you can call that underrated
@@ceezer.mp4 underrated cuz they were famous post-nirvana thanks to Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, their penultimate record before the 2000s (the decade they stopped making commercial successes and actually outside the mainstream)
@@rurronsio666 not even because of mellon collie cuz Siamese Dream was a huge hit in the US
@@theshizzz that wouldn’t mean it’s underrated because another band might be more popular?
@@theshizzz if that was the case the rolling stones are underrated since they weren’t as big as the beatles
the smashing pumpkins have the best psychedelic music ever.. get high or drunk and just listen to them for hours on end.. it seems like lifetimes have passed.. its great..
Fax, I did shrooms a couple weeks ago and everything went tits up from there. Farewell and goodnight came on and I was crying, it was beautiful.
If I could go back to any point in my life, no doubt it would be to the early 90s - what an amazing time to be alive.
The year is 2020 and this is still the best music known to man
Early pumpkins was the best pumpkins.
Define "early pumpkins".
@@davidhumphrey7874 1988-2018 lol
But really 1988-1993
@@billysmith4998 Sooo Mellon Collie is when they went downhill (1995)?
@@davidhumphrey7874 Well Idk really I suppose when they broke up in 2000 but Adore isn't bad imo
Do u like ther new album?? Lol
Word of god
Billy's guitar brought me here
Oooh yeah
That’s the guitar that Billie lost for like 20 years. He was recently reunited with it
The same thought came to my mind
this is one of there best songs, or atleast my favorite one.
22 June 1991 at Reckless Records in Chicago
So many amazing bands around this decade, wish i could've been a teenager around this time instead to experience them live during their youth years

Are you still listening?
To be a fly on the wall while they were recording around Gish
How have I never seen this??!!!!???????!!!!! ❤️🤘
That's exactly what I'm saying 😂.
I cant imagine seeing SP in such a small venue....just.....wow
jesus christ, this is so freaking cool! man, i was born too late, i can see them now, but even chamberlin's left (again), and its just not the same

@@D.Bychowski right on ! i luv how u answered a decade old ask ! ✌
these live versions of Drown always have the cool little solo that's slightly different from the recorded studio version. very subtle but very cool.
Jimmy is the best drummer in the world.
Wrong. It’s me
Thank you for posting this!

Billy, I found your Gish guitar!!
fking amazing
This look on Billy was my fav. But the present Billy is definitely the most beautiful. S❤️P

i love this. mad about pumpkins especially the early stuff.
just ...wow....fuck ..i love them so much

Yeah i agree MarkSP im rly startin to get into SP nd more than jus their mainstream hits their wicked awesome cnt wait to see em in Boston 11/14 nd 11/15 SP ROCKS...
the first draft of Drown..you can hear the different lyrics but same concept of the song..not bad but I do like the revised..
Ooooh shit!! Thanx for this one! =)
yes i agree with u i spend til adore era til the end listen only the pumpkins.!!!!!
you get it! so true!
*_* amazing!
So that’s the stolen yellow guitar! Great sound, amazing band
yea i think about that everytime in the crow, with the picture of him in the car with his bandmates.... Makes me think of the video to 1979 with BC with long hair :0P
Awesome.. Billy kinda reminds me of Eric Draven from the Crow here.
its strange that you have to find a rare video in order to find a time when they don't rush their songs...
awesome though.
Man D'arcy the thing that is cool about her is not only her driving low but ive never seen a musician with such good taste consistantly it always seems like her axes are out of fender custom shop
Nice
was this like late 80s? look at their hairstyles haha
@MarkSPdrums you are a legend.

Drown❤
damn.... I thought this song was post hair.
Billy had hair until the release of MCIS.

Me encanta las calabazas
At a guess, I'd say 1991.
you travel far like a star
Bro where do i watch this whole live session? There’s a song I’m looking for
its not possible, the pumpkins are the best
but the pumpkins have changed... there more of a goth rock band now than their own genre they used to be
@brikrantz and physical grafitti is the best damn zeppelin album too
Shrooms and Gish :D
CYR brought me here.
@MarkSPdrums OMFG THAT IS SO TRUE!!!!
I wish I was there
i think earlier...maybe 89-90....before gish exit...
The song heaven let your light shine down is a rip of of this song
I love them as well, and I'm 19 ;)
hahahaha
Hey, you've now time travelled to the future, you're in your early 30s, time flies, doesnt it?
@@alextryniski8597 hi
@MarkSPdrums damn straight
Any idea of what year this was? 1990/1991/1992?
what is this song called? i like it.
MegaClank1 its Drown, but this is the "demo" for it I guess
He was one of the triggers to Cobain's suicide. = Food For Thought.
he changed the lyrics, and when is this from?
