This is so true... Even though he got annoyed at the crowd for not being quiet, and made a number of snipey comments to the crowd at various stages, I honestly agree with you
My oldest brother killed himself to this. We were both Pumpkins fans and I always wondered why this song resonated with him until I read the lyrics. My brother Thor’s life really paralleled with Billy’s life. We have a brother of special needs, a “Spaceboy” and looked after him. I feel he felt his suicide was an act of love even though it was the wrong choice. He always called me “Rock” and that’s what I do. Even in my sorrows I have to choose life... and I shall be free of the voices inside me. Love.
My youngest brother suffered from mental illness, including depression. I specifically didn't turn him on to this song because I worried how he might take it.
People keep commenting on how Billy is smiling weirdly throughout this entire show but if you actually watched the entire thing, his little brother was finally there to see it live and Billy felt proud for the first time ever.
god i wish i had a chance to go to this concert, siamese dream has got to be one of the best albums ever produced. i gotta work on that time machine of mine
I saw them four times for Siamese it was great every time. Twice at a little dive bar before they got big those are the absolute best, once at the Apollo and once at Lollapalooza. I wish I could have seen some of their later album concerts but I was a refuge from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s
The music sounds so good it's almost like I can physically taste it, there's so much color and richness in their sound, fuckin' unbeliebible dude. No doubt the best song they ever made.
To love a new band and this down Pop Rock age, also go to the alternative movement Rocks you have the stones. And other bands moving upstairs to The stardom of best in popularity. Get it now and Stick with the life you bravely define. This can't be miss informed. Be what our lives be the free world.
Siamese Dream was the soundtrack to my cross country summer + drive 1995 with my trusty Doberman, Queler. Personal top 15+/- complete album productions. Goosebumps still.
I'm in that pit, somewhere. One of the best nights of my life. It's easy to look back and slag them off, but the music holds up, and at the time this was the best show in town. I'm grateful to have been there - it was awesome.
SP was really at their peak in their prime at this time. I saw them at Lollopwlooza in93-94 for Pisces Iscariot that was an album of B sides they released before Melancholy. They were really great live and Billy got upset with the crowd at this concert too. He went offstage and people started leaving thinking it was over and he came back on and played another half hour. All the people in the back were able to move closer to the stage including myself . It was actually a good thing Billy got angry at the crowd ultimately.LOL
Saw them in 1993 and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Saw them at Lollapalooza in 1994 and was possibly the worst show I’ve ever seen. The first show was truly amazing though.
This song about a sinner who is deeply sorrowful and repents and finally accepts Jesus as a personal savior and transcends into salvation!! Not suicide! It’s bleak at first but the story of the song ends with freedom into which the antagonist is able to take control.
"Bleed in your own light" is about Kurt Cobain, in a way, as Billy's expressing wanting to be able to write his own story and not one swayed or influenced by Kurt and Nirvana's Nevermind tidal wave in 1991. I'm not sure anyone's ever been better at writing more powerful lyrics to BEGIN songs than William Patrick Corgan. "Dream of your own life" indeed. Beautiful song.
@@MrHamthepig I came off the road in 2020 after 26 years front line service...I had had enough...still work for the City...two years to go. Good luck to you.
Honestly the Pumpkins were one of my all time favs growing up but their Lollapalooza performance in which I saw them was vastly disappointing. THIS show is the one I'm would have died to see
i've yet to see a festival performance from them i really enjoyed on here. bunch of great concerts and televised performances. apparently bad at festivals.
Billy needs to walk with some books on his head. His posture sucks. But he looks so happy. I love watch them live from this time period. I had the tape. From Tower Records. I wanna see D'Arcy, wtf.

i think this is the happiest i've seen him on stage
Probably just woke up from that sleep

His brother was in the audience for the first time plus I think couple songs on this album are about him.
Billy, what a diva. Lol it's weird.....in a good way. I guess. 😕
He knew how tight they sounded! One of their best earlier shows.

totally agree,siamese dream was one of my first cd s with cypress hill black sunday and white zombie la sex album
nasa saintz Take me with you!!!!
It was pretty good. My buddy had a bad trip, so we had to leave early. Still a fond memory, unique sound.

No anti-depressant is strong enough to withstand this beautiful band
Billy Corgan: Challenge accepted.
This song is an anti-depressant to me
The music sounds so good it's almost like I can physically taste it, there's so much color and richness in their sound, fuckin' unbeliebible dude. No doubt the best song they ever made.
Well said dude
This version of Rocket is perfect.
Except for the singing I agree.
The Brickventurer it is PERFECT. even Billy looks happy! ❤️❤️🤘
Every version of rocket is perfect
the album version is perfect.
Farouq Azizan how many times can I possibly listen to this?? It’s perfection 🤘🖤
This whole concert is absolutely perfect!!
Everytime I want to see a Smashing pumpkins live song I look for this concert.
To love a new band and this down Pop Rock age, also go to the alternative movement Rocks you have the stones.
And other bands moving upstairs to
The stardom of best in popularity.

they are one of the loudest bands i have ever seen....my ears rang for 3 days afterwards, no joke..............
best Derp guitar-lick face at 2:07 lol

The overlapping lead guitar parts in this song are simple, but really cool at the same time.
Its music...way more than simple...
Billy looked like he had so much fun in this entire set, love to see it
This is one of my "I need to drive really freaking fast" songs
Rodney Crotts Try “Pain” - Jimmy Eat World
Frr lmaoo
That'd be Geek USA for me
Chamberlain is so underrated
I don't think it's underrated. In fact it's considered by many one of the best drummers in rock.
@@funkymonk5344 agree
@@funkymonk5344 he’s not overrated or underrated
My favorite drummer of all time. Never heard another sound or style like his.
Every time I listen to this I'm 15 again. Never thought all this gold would became past one day
I was there. Absolutely amazing.
I love how jimmy Chamberlain never over plays though he's certainly capable.
You're right Dario, he Is Just so talented and humble!!!
Another reason why I miss the 90's so much! 😪
he made me smile all the way through this !
I'm in that pit, somewhere. One of the best nights of my life. It's easy to look back and slag them off, but the music holds up, and at the time this was the best show in town. I'm grateful to have been there - it was awesome.
It must have been an incredible night!
@@garethrice1266 it really was, one of the best, I think. I'm thankful for having had access, for the people at Metro. 💜
Saw this monster of a show in 1996 in Memphis, TN. Best day of my life.
My first, at the Warfield of San Francisco.
And my freedom is successful and for sure other's
Corgan young strong joyful ,and at home with friends. Love this show and love Billy and his band. Outstanding!
Beautiful times, the nostalgia hits hard.
Billy looks so happy!
I think he was 26 here, visibly in his prime,
We had fun back then!
I love James Iha's part from 2:40 to 3:03
Too bad his guitar is mixed really low on this recording.
I love how much billy is into this performance he’s just jumping around and playing
For me, in 1993, this was the center of the universe.
Slip Stream Siamese Dream
This was Preformed on my birthday! Thanks Pumpkins.
1:04 - Billy's face 😍😍😍. I love that man
SP was really at their peak in their prime at this time.
I saw them at Lollopwlooza in93-94 for Pisces Iscariot that was an album of B sides they released before Melancholy.
They were really great live and Billy got upset with the crowd at this concert too.
He went offstage and people started leaving thinking it was over and he came back on and played another half hour.
All the people in the back were able to move closer to the stage including myself .
It was actually a good thing Billy got angry at the crowd ultimately.LOL
The moon is out the stars invite think I'll leave tonite....💫✨🌚✨
this is fucking epic.. See kids this is how we used to do it.
strange thing....there is no volume sufficient for smashing pumpkins
True full volume isn’t enough
my goodness, this was a great performance
I grew up to this music. It was a magic time of innovation with every month bringing something awesome.
to Relax and fade awayyyyy
That opening riff is. So. Damn. Good.
Saw them on this tour in Dallas at The Bomb Factory. An era.
2:57 The greatest. So happy!!! Corgan felt triumphant in that moment.
James Iha coming in at 2:40 is like my favorite 5 seconds in music
He looks like he's having so much fun.
That ending sounds even more amazing live
D'arcy Wretzky, the best pumpkins bassist.
billy played almost all of her parts on the Album
#nodarcynopumpkins #neverforget
Lucas G
Indeed he did, but D’Arcy has an amazing live sound. Definitely my favourite SP bassist.
Hmm, not the best bassist, but "the" bassist and best backing vocalist. Her murmerings down the mic are just right.
the only Pumpkins bassist
I started diving deeper in SP. I only knew today n cherub rock but I’m so happy I found rocket
This would have been one of the great concerts to be at
Look how much bloody fun that looks
3:51 Launching the rocket!
Happy 28th birthday to the best album ever made.
How is this not in Rolling Stones top 20 pumpkins songs?
Because it’s Rolling Stone.
I don't know which SP songs are considered the best by rolling stones but I know I named my Vespa 125 ET3 after this song in 1997...
That was a fantastic performance, just top to down great
Saw them in 1993 and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Saw them at Lollapalooza in 1994 and was possibly the worst show I’ve ever seen. The first show was truly amazing though.
You're lucky for 93 show Daniel
This song about a sinner who is deeply sorrowful and repents and finally accepts Jesus as a personal savior and transcends into salvation!! Not suicide! It’s bleak at first but the story of the song ends with freedom into which the antagonist is able to take control.
Well Done Gang!!!
Please upload the rest of the songs! I absolutely LOVE this show, and your vids are the best quality!!
whyd Billy shave his hair off??
In 1995ish, you could see that he was losing hair, so he just shaved it all off
fnx333 I heard him say on an interview that he was pretty much rebelling
Colin Rogers I found the whole concert here on TH-cam. Did u find it? It's perfect!!
I miss me
I miss everything
Jesus this song is soooo good !
So soon I'll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Billy's smile is so contagious😊
Jared Miller F Billy!🖕
F you🖕
wow.. just wow..amazing
93년 당시 코리안들은 zam, 하여가, 듀스같은 쓰레기 음악들을 듣고 즐겼었지 이곡 하나로 모든게 정리된다
1993 smashing Pumpkins were ontop of the world 🌎
Great song!
....FREE!...

I had a crush on Darcy for the longest!
Brand new in EMS...used to blast this to get ready for chaos before night shift...1994
You still in ems? Trying to become an emt rn haha
@@MrHamthepig 25 years city service front line Paramedic...Im done...no regrets
@@MrHamthepig I came off the road in 2020 after 26 years front line service...I had had enough...still work for the City...two years to go. Good luck to you.
Best band on earth at the time.

Jeffrey Glenellen yeah but their shiny and oh so bright concert in Detroit was fucking great
i've yet to see a festival performance from them i really enjoyed on here. bunch of great concerts and televised performances. apparently bad at festivals.
The line volume of James Iha's guitar should be much higher!
Love rocket
welcome to the world billy...but us fans knew you back in 88...
I was 18 during this! NO WONDER!!!
Anyone still in September 2022? What a band!!!!
Not nuff glamour shots of the D'Arcy babe
God, I miss the 90’s..
Corgan has what we in the music business call a "studio only" voice
God what magic 😳
I shall be brave...
This is the SHIT WOW
Dope AF
My favorite
Laaaaaw
I agree with C Thrasher. This is how we kids did it!!!
I would sell my soul to be there
Locker room song ...before it it all gets sorted out on the field

Jimmy made this song awesome

Billy needs to walk with some books on his head. His posture sucks. But he looks so happy. I love watch them live from this time period. I had the tape. From Tower Records. I wanna see D'Arcy, wtf.

Lightning in a bottle.
