This Smashing Pumpkins live performance is easily one of the most epic performances I’ve ever seen. It’s nearly two full hours of unbridled nineties rock, performed at the Metro in Chicago on August 14th, 1993. This was a little bit less than one month before I was born, 22 years ago. Is it wrong to say that this performance makes me feel nostalgic?
Smashing Pumpkins has always been cool to listen to, but this brings everything up a notch. What more, we get to see a young Billy Corgan, complete with a full head of hair and a youthful energy as he tells the crowd to chill out and “let us play whatever we want. In case you didn’t know, Billy Corgan is now bald. ” Below you’ll find the full tracklisting. Best played at high volume.
