@Fui Gebhardt1 People just wanted Mellon Collie 2 and instead the band lost Jimmy and Billy lost his mom and we got a weird, stripped down mildly electronic album. And then everyone was mad there weren't songs that sounded like Bullet or Zero. I think time has proven Billy knew what he was doing. The "Adore Orchestra" kinda thing they put together for the tours for this is my favorite live incarnation of the band.
I’m in the background of this video, I was 17 and this was an awesome show live. Best day of my teenage life! I got to meet Billy Corgan during a commercial break and he signed by copy of Siamese Dream.
23:54 Billy says, "When she used to ride James" HAHAHAH what the f*ck??? Low blow if he's referring to James and D'Arcy being romantically involved at one point hahahaha
I love the Smashing Pumpkins...GREAT LITTLE STORY. I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers here in L.A back in 95 or so and after the show went to Jones Restaurant in West Hollywood for late dinner/drinks with my girlfriend. The place was known for it great music and alternative music at that. Who walks in Jimmy Chamberlin the drummer from SP. He had to wait for a table and asked if he could join me and my girlfriend, of course we said yes..he didn't really talk that much (he might have been a little out of it as were we) but I will never forget when the pizza came he asked for a slice. Only in L.A...till this day me and my ex girlfriend still joke about that,
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
8:55 James Iha ROCKS IT! Saw this band in its prime all the way to Zwan and now the Billy and other new members. Gish and Siamese Dream Tours were SICK! Mellon Collie was crazy too. Sure do miss my Pumpkins! I wish they all still got along.
I agree with her eye roll. I heard those remixes. Diddy should keep his producers (he has very little to do with the beauty of the songs that he is credited for) in the hip hop and rnb lane.
Omg! Lol! Memories!! I was there! The Pumpkins were to perform solely outside but there was a thunderstorm & MuchMusic wouldn't let them out. So the fans chanted and were super upset. The Pumpkins demanded to play for us outside. MM tried to stop the show on time, but they played their "last song" which lasted an extra 40 mins! It was hands down one of the best SP concerts I've been to (not just because you can see me multiple times during the show lol) but for the love they showed us fans.
I just finished watching it - got all nostalgic & sniffly lol I was 16 ;) such an awesome time to be a teen. Thank you so much for posting this - really made me happy!
That's freakin' awesome. Also, a 40 min. last song, i wish i couldve seen pumpkins live, they put much more emphasis on the progressive, long, almost improve styling of their songs. course i t hink billy was trained in jazz if i remember right, so that wouldn't be surprising
It's funny (yes I'm watching this again.. I'm old and nostalgic lol) I was thinking how long we were stuck outside. We were in the parking lot from the morning until then. They had no water or anything for any of us until about half way through the show Juliette Lewis (former VJ) started throwing water bottles out to us as people were passing out from dehydration. MM also didn't seem to care if us fans got smoked by lightning hahaha. Good times. Kenny drove me nuts with his heavy handed performance. I also loathed the pianist. Everyone else (Billy, James and D'Arcy) were just phenomenal as always. That last 40 minutes was just unbelievable. I wish I could go back and be there again. Going to see them this August. Wish D'Arcy was a part of the reunion tour. Can't have it all again I guess.
I watched ya thru my tv 😂🤷 was even good sat home with Pepsi n Lay's. Everyone there owes the pumpkins one "reach around" each for the 40min last song.
25:00 "every song i've ever written that means anything to me, James and Darcy were in the room". that explains everything. also Corgan is like Terence McKenna level articulate.
Wow. Awesome awesome stuff, i've only ever seen snippets of this interview and performances... but to see it all together really captures the essence. Thanks, this is honestly so great :D
I was there. Won tickets on the radio and stood outside for 6 hours in the rain on and off. It was really iffy...we weren't sure if they were going to play outside due to the rain, but then they risked electrocution to put on a great show for us. I'm pretty sure they had a big jam on Joy Division's Transmission after the broadcast ended.
i remembered seeing this back in the day and thought how they should release more live albums that show how different the songs sounded from the albums that people complain about the production (adore and machina)
@@pauljones5072 also ich würd mir gern ein Blech mit ihr teilen 😉 aber noch lieber zsm mit ihr einen Entzug machen sie heiraten und den Rest meines Lebens mir ihr verbringen..d'arcy war und ist immernoch eine wunderbare wunderschöne Frau..
I wonder if my friend still has the live and uncut version of this show. I wish they could've shown the song, Shame. Billy and James perform a climatic guitar solo together during that one, a big kick in the balls to those who said Billy was going techno. Adore was a rock offering in disguise, and is one of my favourite albums ever.
Interviewers were so human back then. And worthy. No celebrity worship . Just true convos . This is my fav album from smash also. 🤘🏾 ps. I’m feeling lit on this hot day. Got my shade and this music to carry me.
I"d say 1998 was a turning point in the mainstream. Lame ass post post grunge bands, rap metal, Spice Girls and boy bands all over the place. The whole mainstream reverted back all of a sudden...
TORONTO ROCKS HARD! SP recognized this and played their best. God love Billy and all citizens of Toronto. I miss you all from a land afar over here in Suzhou, China.
Ya it does doesn't it?: But guess what we lived threw hands down the best gen for music. 90/s was filled with unique styles, lyrics that had to be bled out of the signers heart and for that I wouldn't change a thing
CWoody Solo Not really. Look at D'arcy's expression when Billy is talking about why he didn't mind Puff Daddy remixing Ava Adore and Perfect. It's at 26:41.
Such a shame. D'arcy and Billy seem to get along really well on camera, at least in this video, hopefully they can still find that again and we can have more lovely backing vocal harmonies and bass parts from the lady herself.
I remember staying up late to watch the unedited live broadcast of this (time zones), complete with the absurdly long cover of Joy Division's Transmission that stretched the show well beyond it's intended time slot. Even though I wasn't there, there was this feeling that maybe, just maybe, honest articulate and passionate music might be on the upswing.

![Smashing Pumpkins • “Ava Adore” • 1998 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](/img/n.gif)
Adore is such a better album than I thought it was at the time. It's aged really well, and now it's one of my favorites. Anyone else feel similar?
@Fui Gebhardt1 Alas, Billy has long since beat us to this and many other puns.

So awkward lol
D'arcy rolling her eyes when Billy is speaking about Puff Daddy mix is hilarious...
I love the part where they get asked about petting p Diddy mix their music. Darcy intersects and says "yah Billy, why?"
This aged terribly...

Brandon Cardona uh
So you had something to eat with someone who plays drums. Stories aint what they used to be.
I'm in love with 90's D'arcy.
Fer Abra we all are
You beat me to it. I think everyone who dreamed of being a rock star in the 90s dreamed of a D'Arcy on Bass.
That black devil costume tho.
Fer Abra her horns make her look like a cat
And her nipples. Free The Nipples.
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
I was there too at the one in Rhode Island summer ‘94, it was amazing!
D'arcy eye rolls is just EPIC!
What a band! Favourite band of all-time. Like four comic book heroes on a mission to rock the world.
Love that

What a gem! Everyone sounds and looks amazing. AA was their zenith artistically (and spiritually it seems).
Billy is a Fucking savage 💀 “if you’re talking about when she use to ride James”
to be honest, it was such a stupid question that Billy actually made work and be entertaining
Nostalgia the late 90s, what an excellent Smashing Pumpkins Concert in Toronto!!!
I love this version of 1979. one of the best in my opinion.

James is so adorable❤
11:43 BC is like Get that camera out of my face dude… im singing.. XD great
Saw them live this week - still rocking hard. Billy's voice still as amazing as ever.
thanks from the deepest of my heart for uploading this video.. apprecitaed !
Yep. Just another Toronto night with a tremendous terrific band. Bravo Toronto and the Pumpkins!
I was there. Stood in the rain for hours. It was SO worth it.
Love you Darcy
Wow. Awesome awesome stuff, i've only ever seen snippets of this interview and performances... but to see it all together really captures the essence. Thanks, this is honestly so great :D

Ladies and gentlemen, meteorologist Jim Cantore on drums.
26:38 back in the day when no one thought twice about showing someone's personal email address on TV...

They peaked at this point. Physically and artistically. Greatest band outta Chicago.
Thanks so much for this...still love the Pumpkins in all their guises :-)

Quite possibly the greatest burn in history
He shaved it because he was balding

This is a wicked video
The Smashing Pumpkins with Billy Corgan are the Kings of Punk Rock! No band has ever replaced them or matched their music.
I wouldn’t call them punk rock. Lol
24:52 they sure look like they have a lot of "chemistry" there...
I love how he said those kind words about darcy and gave her credit
Greatfull are we to have lived in the time of Pumpkins 🍺

I was trying to be generous lmao
Yes, that was the joke.
yah me too. I was born in 94, but it's so sad to see what I was missing out on.
When billy's voice sounded great and his dress sense was on point! Not so much these days! 🤣 What a fantastic performance. Magical!
What a great rendition of Ava Adore, especially with the brilliant Mike Garson on the keyboard.

Looking forward to the concert this summer, but sad that D'arcy won't be there. Still holding out hope.
