Thru the eyes of Ruby hits so hard!!!!
Robert Piparo that perfomance is mindblowing
the essence of this band.
I was at this show, one of my first ever as a 16 year old, Pumpkins were my favourite band in the world at that time…. It still remains one of my favourite gigs of all time.
I had the exact same experience but in 2000 for their 2x 'last ever gigs'. Spent all my paper-round money on it.
I immediately hate you 😂😂😂. I was only 11 and no chance mum was letting me go to Brixton Academy. Same answer when I wanted to see Cypress Hill there in ‘99. I’m still bitter. And oh yeah, I got glandular fever just before Rage played at Reading…I had a ticket. They disbanded soon after.
Did you follow them after Melon Collie? I thought Adore was so disappointing. They need Jimmy!
@@thatsmeinthepic what was your first concert?
@@willhicks1168 i was at the United Center gig! and saw them the year before at Metro when Melissa first joined the band. Shout out Chicagoland!
If they had the 3 and a half hours to this set then it might be the greatest live video ever! I cannot believe they lost the film!
i agree. i was disappointed when the rest wasn't on the deluxe dvd
@@throckmorton.iscariot sound quality amazing! Best live video of sm on TH-cam. Shame they didn't sing bodies...
@@smann7236 there are very few videos of them playing bodies unfortunately. didn't perform it often since it was so rough on billy's voice. sucks bc that's like top 5 pumpkins songs for me
@@throckmorton.iscariot it's deffo my sm song . Don't want to keep listening to it...I'm afraid I may get bored...these months I've been listening to it a lot...I'm saving it for special occasions. Just last night I bought the mcatis album..hope it's the original 1996 issue. I really need good hifi system to listen to bodies. Not sure if you from UK but were they popular back in 90s in England...all I remember was oasis blur dominating. Also what do you know about the sound production of smashing pumpkins albums they famous for the sound quality and sonics etc you need quality sound system to fully appreciate the dynamic sound, is that true?
@@celebritykid4711 my cd arrived two days ago. I listened in my car. Sounds good man. Sure I would prefer high fidelity speakers, but for now car cd player is good. Looking forward to listening again after work in the night. Yeah bodies track is just brutal, I wish I could listen to it as first time. I can't believe that song skipped my radar for so long. It was pure chance I heard in this summer. Worth it though.
One of the greatest bands of all time in their absolute prime.
This performance of “here is no why” is one of the best I’ve ever heard. The entire song building up to that final chorus was gorgeous, heavy, filthy and pure genius
Dude, it kicks so much ass
Such a good song that buildup is 🔥
Peak! Got to see them twice during zeitgeist then 2018 tour. Was strung out on heroin during the concert. Let me tell you, I cried at. Disarm,thirty three, for martha.
I was so connected I felt no pain, thru the eyes of a dead man I flee to you for the sun I'll take you
@@hollowify_tensa_zangetsuhope you managed to get clean
Thru the Eyes of Ruby played just wonderfully. Overall, I think it's one of their top 5 masterpiece songs.
i´ts an incredible song... masterpiece
I'd say the masterpieces are, in no particular order:
Hummer
Ruby
Porcelina
Glass
Mayonaise
On any given day I would replace Mayonaise with Soma and vice versa
This live version is one of my most loved live versions of any live song ever
@Mark Green people also try to look deep by nitpicking non issues.
I totally agree with you . Rock and roll baby
How billy corgan goes from calm beautiful acoustic to pure rage is so awsome
It's something I've studied and tried to mimic a bit, but not to the point of imitating... Incorporated that into my own songwriting a bit.
Still the whole loud quiet loud/ verse Chorus verse thing ALWAYS felt just a bit TOO Pixies Nirvana (and i suppose) SP (too? Like Today)
What Thom Yorke famously referred to as Fridge Buzz music...
So typically I try to set out to capture a consistent mood throughout a tune.
i can deliver an angsty AGGRESSIVE song start to finish and then just play another original after that's all sweet and hushed-
Hopefully, like the kinda whispered falsettos of Purr Snickety or Soothe or something like that...
Regardless, if it wasn't for BILLY and these cool cats, there's none of my bands. That's for sure. He's ENTIRELY the reason i wanted to pick up a guitar and learn to play and write songs in the first place.
Really!!
At 17 i finally got my first acoustic and leaned Stumbleine and In the Arms of Sleep first as (by my estimation) they could still pack a punch w/o a full band,
But i did that too(start my first band) two years later at the ripe old age of 19.
Thank you Captain O Corrigan!
This has to be the best show they ever did.
I would say Metro first, then this. It all depends on what era you like, for me Siamese Dream was their best album.
(My Opinion)
1. Metro 1993
2. Pinkpop 1993
3. Dusseldorf 1996
4. Brixton Academy 1996
I was just about to write the same thing. Billy looks like there is no place he'd rather be. The vocals are raw and powerful. Wish I could of been there
I was at the PINKPOP one - it was mind-blowing .....of course !!
If you're talking about shows online then yes, but I saw them at Roseland in NYC in 1993 and it was incredible. Wish I could find footage of the show
Music doesn't get any better than this.
To each their own I guess.
And I'm a huge fan....but c'mon.
CJ Dickey haha your right, that statement....a little over the top to say the least.
CJ Dickey it’s true
I don’t know man, they just played like 7 different styles over the course of a handful of songs. I’d call that pretty accomplished. I was a fan before but now that I’m better at music I’m listening to them with new ears. Their musicianship was incredible. Even Darcy, which everyone likes to shit on.
@@GlennJimenez Darcy never plays a bum note in a 3 hour show with complex multipart songs, neither does James or Jimmy. It's mindblowing how tight they are here
The way Billy attacks his guitar during through the eyes of ruby is sooooooooooo satisfying.
Thru the Eyes of Ruby is AMAZING here!
I would do anything to be with this crowd. Just dancing and living in the moment to the Smashing Pumpkins. I'm so envious.
Just Smile, they are RAD!! th-cam.com/video/8SYR2bN1VRE/w-d-xo.html
I saw this live when I was just a kid (maybe 16) and watched it dozens of times since on VHS. It had such a profound impact on me and opened my eyes to rock music (i.e. guitar) for the rest of my life (I'm now 33). One of the best concerts and a truly amazing band. SP for life!
I LOVE how the pumpkins would play songs from previous albums, BUT change them sometimes 50% and others like this silverfuck is truly amazing.
WOW! What an amazing time in history. Music still written by the band, talented performers. Miss the 90's...
Billy has always known how to decorate a guitar in a cool way. Love the stickers he chooses to decorate
The drumming here is really fantastic
Jimmy Chamberlin say no more
Jimmy is always on point
The Smashing Pumpkins had such a unique sound that worked incredibly well with Billy's distinct and versatile voice. Whether it was one of their softer melodic songs or one of their heavier guitar shredding songs, you always immediately knew it was them when you heard the song come on. It's interesting to see them open this show with some lighter songs (Tonight, Tonight/1979) and then totally change the vibe with Zero which is one of their more aggressive/heavier tracks. There are not many bands who can pull off such a vast array of music.
Thru The Eyes Of Ruby! Just EPIC!
I was at this gig and it was amazing from start to finish. A short acoustic set followed by 2 hours of rock at its best. I'd also been to see them the night before at Wembley arena (as it was known then). Good times
Really? You saw them the night before at Wembley? This was the warm up gig for the arena tour, Wembley would have been later.
@@baxbax1763 He’s lying you are correct this was the warm up gig i know i was selling Tour T-Shirts outside both gigs went to Brixton gig but missed Wembley.
Wembley Arena isn't called Wembley anymore??
Oh wait, is THAT was the O2 arena is now? Coz if so , if it is, i musta missed that memo
that has to be THE most perfect version of tonight tonight that i have ever heard
I watched this concert hundreds of times!!! best band and best album of all time!!!
I used to play the shit out of their records (personal favorite: Pisces Iscariot) 20 years ago (especially in the car with the top down and sound up!) and this is one of their best concert videos when they were rock royalty. Wanna go for a ride!!!
I love how happy Billy corgan, makes u know it was a great show
One of the best Through the eyes of Ruby I've heard. Especially from jimmy.
James Iha's slide work's well on 'Tonight'.
I want so much to share this with all the Smashing Pumpkins fans new and old. As i consider this one of their finest live sets. I have ever seen and heard my ear drums are still revelling from this musical onslaught
Billy has such a unique vocal stamp
Yeah, sucks you weren't there in the mid 90s. The feels were immense.
these songs were the soundtrack to my teens straight into early adulthood. So many life changing things and themes are tied to this music for me!
Jabba Flow better late than pregnant
indeed !
James Iha is a killer guitarist!
unfortunately many would regard that as an opinion...
@@robotok5405 Yeah I’m sure you’re better
@@brodiehop33 he prolly is
@@furythruster4794 James Iha is really good, otherwise Corgan would have kicked him out of the band
He handles ebow's very gracefully and produces some awesone tones
So glad to they managed to not agressively double time here xP
James' soling at the end of Through the eyes of Ruby is so awesome
One of the best sp concerts imo. I remember taping (yes VHS) this, transferring it to my audio tape and replaying umpteen times., Of course these were my teenage/coming of age years and hold particular significance and memories. I used the video of this concert to learn most of the songs on the guitar. My personal favourites Porcelina and Thru the eyes of ruby especially with their alternate endings. This was clearly a tumultuous time for the pumpkins and it brought out the best in them
Steve Hall Same! I recorded this from MTV on VHS and watched it over and over. Wish I could’ve been at the actual show but I was 13 at the time!
I did the same, recorded it from MTV and saw it many many times. I’m glad i found this on youtube 🤩🎸
Same... recorded it from MTV Live on Thursday. In the end I played it so many times it started to sound out of tune :-p
Yo, been a fan since before MCIS ... Finally caught em live on this tour.
Just wanted to chime in how i always told anyone who'd listen that Porcelina and Thru the Eyes of Ruby are my favorites and wished we lived in a world where they could still be singles and played on the radio too ( i got so sick of Bullet With Butterfly Wings and Muzzle on the NY Rock Stations in the 90s.)
This thru the eyes of ruby performance is goated
soma Brixton tier
band firing on all cylinders. i saw this tour but sadly only after the incident with jimmy and jonathan...but i WAS at jimmy's first show back in the band, and it was at a tiny club, so that kind of made up for it.
but yeah...this performance thru the eyes of ruby is a high water mark of this band. even james comes off like a badass in his solo. spectacular.
Adam Coe ruby is it and it's a Floyd zep style peak
Jimmy was definatley missed on the ava adore album. But machina he comes back in style. Great great. Hope they reform.
This is CLASSIC ROCK n ROLL history right here!!!! Unreal! Listen to that lead!? James makes it so nostalgic and sad with Billy’s” longing” in his voice…. He needs that longing back, but I guess that’s something that you go through in your 20s-30s and you are still putting your stamp on who YOu ARE”” … anyway . Epic . ❤❤❤
thanks for posting this...great quality!!! this version of thru the eyes of ruby is just EPIC!
I miss me.
I miss
Everything
I'll never be.
I miss this band and those days. Great to have this video.
Thanks.
The way the intensity builds up in Here Is No Why 😮
If you haven’t seen the Pumpkins in the 90s, I am so sorry..( but I’ve missed ALOt of great shows cause of money or life..) So everyone gets there special moments with the band , 90s or NOt!! I’ve seen some AMAZING shows in 07-09!!! ❤
They make it look effortless🎸
39:56 "The world is a vampire!!! TANANANANANÃ!"
Fantastic!
Imagine going to see a band and they open the set with three songs from their 'new' album and those three songs happen to be Tonight Tonight, 1979 and Zero.
LOL. Like it's almost absurd how timeless those songs have become in SP history and to this crowd they were just a few new songs.
My favorite show of The Smashing Pumpkins
Brixton Academy has all the best sounding concerts. Something about that place just makes the concerts sound better, even all their other concerts and live recordings over.
The acoustics there are just amazing. Incredible building design.
Venue is the mutts nuts
Maybe then, but not recently - saw Mastodon, Stone Sour and Gojira in the last 12 months and the sound was nothing special, if not poor. Bands now seem to be pushing volume rather than taking the time to balance it effectively.
Barrowlands in Glasgow is up there but I’m not sure about acoustics - certainly in the sheer energy that the crowd can create👍
My favourite live recording of the Pumpkins
to forgive is such a magical song
fucking great concert!!!
SP best 90's band
Robert Hain they’re good.... but nirvana...
Ks s 🤐
darby davis SP beat Nirvana imo
Joshua Nelson that’s your opinion, perfectly fine. same with me, nirvana might not be the best but in my opinion they are.
Ahhh, the man with an angel's vocal chords.
The best concert ever to date
holy shit this concert is good! acoustic stuff is rare for him but incredible
i'm pretty sure this is the concert i saw late at night on video hits in '96... i shoved in a vhs tape and hit record. kept it for years and watched it a thousand times. haven't seen that tape in years... so fucking glad i've found this. they are amazing in this gig... thank you so much for posting this, you've made my day. oh and d'arcy is smoking hot on stage...
Just found this tonight and i too had this on VHS for years and years...been an SP fan non stop since seeing them in Christchurch NZ in 1996!
ha, small world... my girlfriend's from chch... we both saw them at v festival in perth '09. not as good as this! should've seen air play at kings park instead that same month (they played in v fest line-up except wa - did their own show - was amazing by all accounts). hope their chch gig was as good as this :-)
Landed at 3pm. Friends were so intoxicated and did not get to airport till 9pm and missed show. still remind them bout it and won't forget.
Spettacolare. Billiy Corgan grande poeta della nostra generazione.
Taped this concert on the VHS back in late 96. I was in bed and it was being simulcast on triple j (on the radio) and rage (the tv) so ran out and taped it over the first thing I found. That tape has long since died. So glad I can watch it again.
I remember back when Gish was first released, Siva was my neighbors' favourite song, they hadn't had enough of it, they threw boots at my bedroom wall.. :')
The complete original lineup. Bring back the memory 👍🤘🏽
This is what an insane amount of hard work and dedication looks and sounds like.
The Pumpkins used LSD during Gish and off and on during Siamese Dream, but not beyond that. That is why their live performances improved so much during MCIS and afterward. LSD made a comeback in the early 90s in Rock.
Very bizarre and cool thought as you would think the afterglow of the LSD would have implored an insurgence of inspiration and creative endeavor for them during melly colly production, I feel this is their most creative, spiritually colorful album. But noone really knows, perhaps mushrooms were involved too? Mid 90's were so rad I bet I was only 7 in 1999 lol
ጣysTer҉i0usm҉ätȶ777҉ billy said they definitely did shrooms.
D'arcy was so flippin' gorgous.
Oh my god yes she is a hot mess now botox and some more shit definitely didn't need to do that
Ah 96', magical to know your fav band performed such a masterpiece on my birth year.
wish you could've been there Monika. the time i mean, not the show. its a miracle that some of you that have grown up being offered shite for new music can still recognize a masterpiece when you see one. but you obviously can. neat
i remember watching zero, disarm, porcelina and bullet being broadcast late night on random saturday nights into early mornings on pbs as a tween & feeling such a deep sadness that i missed this concert.
Awesome concert. Listening to them a lot lately, wish I could have seen them back then (i.e., been born earlier)
at the absolute top of their game here
One of the best concert i have seen.....great Times the 90´s
Billy had an incredible scream...
Billy actually looks happy here. I saw them on this tour at the Perth Entertainment Centre and the show remains at the top of the list even after 22 years. All my mates bailed because they were drinking before the show and some girl vomited and had to be taken home. I went alone. I met Billy afterward as well. My future wife was somewhere in the crowd as well. Our paths were yet to cross. Billy, get the old lineup back together mate.
Wow so what did you talk about with billy? What was he like then?
@@nderohannot a lot mate. He came out and said he was really tired and wouldn’t sign autographs but he would shake everyone’s hand. I shook his massive hand and rubbed his bald head and he said thanks for coming.
The best concert ones.. Pure energy..
Holy shit!!!! I was there .. To find this vid online all these years later ... Mind Blow 🤯 .. I Got backstage & got the ticket signatures and was @ Wembley the night before & got my 1st taste of "Filter" who were there supporting act ... Great days & thx for the upload!! Memories :D
Best Jellybelly version ever!
Epic
Jimmy the beast
a banda mais foda de todos os tempos. .. 20 anos depois e ainda curto demais
Thru the Eyes of Ruby = WOW !
happiness times before the keyboard player died and everything imploded for smashing pumpkins!
Increïble 🤯
Mind blowing
I wish more songs were here. Xyu, an ode to no one, etc. Sounds so good
Very emotional song, To Forfive, that is the moments of trully emotions...uffff,so really!
Man thank you for this. Such an underrated band, and possibly their greatest era of songs. Hugely influential on me and my music.
Darcy is like an angel.
Here is no why. Absolute Perfection 🤘❤️
i agree completely Kymberli. ive listened to that song ten thousand times i would wager. that muffled Amaj7 chord that starts it off is just magic. and the lyrics touch home.

Thank you soooo much.this music means so much to me. I m so happy to found this. i wish i could have been there. thanks to the camera and sound crew who recorded this. i will keep this video deep in my mind till the end of time. thank you very much
his greatest vocal performance
Exactly what I needed, perfect live band 😲😌💝🥓💥👌
I'm a huge fan have been since the early 90s I seen them in 94 still to this day one of my top 5 favorite bands
awesome recording!!!
Was there that night at the right hand side of the stage. I was a die hard manics fan at the time so while I enjoyed the show, I didn’t appreciate it at the time as I do now.
I really love the manics too. They made some of the best rock'n'roll music. Such a loss what ever happened to Richie. I was also listening to an English band from about 94 onwards to about 97 called these animal men they released only one e.p and two studio albums but both albums were excellent. They were very good. Although they are really unknown.
Tenho este concerto gravado numa videotape já muito gasta de tantas vezes ter rolado no vídeo... Grande concerto!
I hope they perform with the same energy when I see them in August. Billy was definitely in his element and enjoying himself for this performance. What a great setlist too!
Qué lindo ver a los Smashing me tocando el Mellon Collie. Mi disco favorito. Yes they were at the top of their game and yes shit was going to hit the fan, but it’s also good to know that they evolved as human beings. It’s so sad to think that D'Arcy couldn’t reincorporate to the band yet, but Wretzky if you’re reading this I think you will recover your craft and that you can shine again. You were such a big part of this band. And such a great inspiration for all of us. Some of which would become musicians ourselves thanks to bands like the Pumpkins. Gracias.
I got to see then with Garage opening. I bought tickets 3 hours after they sold the tickets. They where the biggest band from 1994- 1998 before adore came out.
THANK YOU x 1000!!!
thanks for posting. I was at this. didn't blow me away as much as at the 3 at Astoria a few years before. Cant believe they knocked that venue down....
Fucking Iha during Bullet with Butterfly Wings holy shitt
Also, his solo during "Thru the Eyes of Ruby".
I saw them on this tour, two weeks prior. I was at the barrier, in front of James. Unforgettable! Amazing show...
I love the neo-psychedelia sound of Iha's playing
crazy frog I was ALWAYS under the impression that he was a lousy guitar player. This isn't based on observation, I just remember reading somewhere that he was known for messing up live. I also read that it was Corgan playing the bass and both guitars in the studio. I could be totally wrong, though.
Eventually saw them in Seattle. And Saw Oceania tour in 2012. ALWAYS WILL LOVE SP. PEACE.
Billy looking cute as hell in a beanie, d’arcy looking like a glamorous beauty queen, James looks comfy in rad jammies :>
It’s about music, not looks. Cunt.
Thanks bro Frikn Ryt
No problem young lad!
Great video, and also great user name, you toast demon
SP perfect as hell
Billy the composer
James the effects
Darcy the girl power
Jimmy the rock/jazz mix drums
Jonathan the ambiance
Cesc VR darcy the drug addict*
I hope live concerts wudnt end as being a thing of the past!
#staysafe #stayhome
#enjoythepumpkins
Have to agree. Show is AMAZING and missing this line-up. Flew home from Seattle that year and got tickets for Texas show so when friends would puck me up at airport would suprise with tix.
