I have owned multiple different audio bootlegs of this show since 95 and have listened to it probably 100 times. Never did I think an video source would ever surface. Thank you SO SO MUCH !! It’s unreal to finally see the video of this as I know every nuance of this performance like the back of my hand. And to release it on the 30th anniversary of SD is a top notch move. Thanks again!

@shoeaddict666 nah. It's different. The music scene of the 90's was akin to the music scene in the 60's and 70's. It really wasn't like that after 2000. Not to say good music hasn't been made but not consistently and not really art. Music is produced today but it's just produced music. A product. Largely digital creations. This was the last heyday of Rock music being a dominant phenomenon within American culture. After 2000 it's faded into the background with corporate pop taking center stage. Not art just tunes.

The mix and recording are both excellent here. The band, coming off the grueling sessions for Siamese Dream and all the ego induced drama that sprung from that time apparently made for incredible performances because the whole band is on fire! Billy isn't over singing, and D'arcy has those great backing vocals which can be heard here so much better than any live bootleg I have ever heard. Iha seems about ready to claw the eyes out of Billy, and yet he keeps it together and nails all those leads, which on acoustic isn't the easiest task. They were at their peak here. Thank you for this!

Really? The vocals are complete completely uncompressed and sound really muddy. Even when Billy is talking to the crowd. The entire thing sounds muddy in general and constantly distorts to the sound of the guitars strumming. Lots of instances where the entire recording distorts. The bass guitar is totally inaudible. Guy on the sound board must be the same guy who mixed And Justice For All. lolz. Speaking off bass, the overall bass on the mix is turned all the way down. The bass drum sounds like he's just slapping a piece of wood. You can't hear the cymbals at all. Why you ask? Because the sound is being recorded from the microphone of an amateur camcorder from 1993. Geeze, it distorts to the point you can't make out anything at the end of Cherub Rock. Performance is great and this is a spectacle to behold. Just can't understand why you would say this is a good mix? If I played a show that sounded like this I would immediately fire the soundboard guy. I'm sure it sounded amazing to the crowd and the video is great for what it is.

I had just turned 10 when this was recorded. A couple years later I got into alternative and Mellon Collie was my obsession. I looked to these guys and they seemed so much older. Now, as a 40-year-old, they look so damn young it's hard to believe they had the wisdom to write this kind of music.

Okay, so I use to have a copy of this performance and a few years back, we got robbed. It was one of the many bootleg and Japanese imports that I had. Can't/couldn't find these anywhere online and I was devastated...

Never saw them live. Siamese Dream is a great album. I'm surprised at how powerful Billy's voice is here and how tight they were as a band. They all seem very competent musicians- contrary to what he has said in interviews since.

There had obviously been so much bitterness between them by then, and Billy was a notorious perfectionist in the studio. But yeah, this is just a great live band. It’s not like D’Arcy or Iha aren’t pulling their weight. Of course everyone can’t be a master of their instrument like Jimmy Chamberlain…

Oh wow. I remember taping this off xrt in 1993. Disarm cut out then six minutes of dead air (on live radio!) later, the signal returned only to catch the final minute of siva. Im not the only one to say it here but it is so incredible to have known a recording so intimately for thirty years only for an actual video to surface. It almost felt like time traveling to watch the video for the first time knowing the audio as well as i do.

God, Billy was so beautiful during this period. Incredibly talented, his voice is perfect, taking you to another world, excellent guitar player. This is how I like to remember him; the Billy Corgan of my mid to late-teens. What a wonderful time to be young and watch the music scene completely change. Billy was amongst the most brilliant musicians, particularly live.

I’m so glad I was in my twenties in the 90’s. I first heard this on a bootleg like back in 94’. My good friend gave it too me and I probably wore out the tape listening to it. This is the first time seeing actual footage almost 30 years later. My friend passed away 2 years ago and the things that he added to my experience only make me smile when they cross my path again. Really grateful this was shared. Thank you so much. 🖤🤟

Wow, so cool, and I can't believe that it's been 30 years that I was at this Tower Records in store performance, by Chicago's very own, the Mighty Smashing Pumpkins. And one of the things that stood out that I clearly remember is one guy in the audience yelled out for the SP's to play "Freebird" right after they got done with one of their songs from the Siamese Dream album and Billy became upset and stated something to the effect of "what are you stuck in the 1970s, what's wrong with you" and I thought to myself, wow why would someone bring up "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd at a Pumpkins performance? Either that guy was kidding around and just wanted to be annoying, or he was living in the past? Anyway, it was my very first time seeing the Pumpkins live and I dug every second of their performance. Also, later on, after their acoustic set, they signed autographs, and Tower Records gave out a magazine, (I can't recall which magazine it was, of which I still have two copies of it, with the Pumpkins on the cover), and each band member, were kind enough to autograph both of them, and I also really dug Jimmy's purple Yamaha trap set, they were so cool looking and also sounded great, and I am pretty certain that he used his Pearl Free Floating Snare Drum. Also, I consider myself very lucky to have been at this performance, because it was so much fun and exciting to witness the Smashing Pumpkins band, in this rare acoustic performance on the day of the Siamese Dream album release. Lastly, whomever uploaded this video, thank you, so very much, I can't wait to watch it, in its entirety. 🎼🎼🎼🎼

Typically acoustic guitars sound meh in a live setting like this yet they're great here so credit to the amps and players. Also JC's powerful jazz drumming translates so well to the brushes and he is locked in with the bass. Overall a great, full, musical sound for an acoustic set.
