Moments that give you goosebumps
 

With so much sadness lately, I thought this might be fun. What are some SP songs, concerts, interviews that still make you feel something?

personally, I love when the crowd starts singing along to Disarm @ Pinkpop, despite not knowing the rhythm of the live version. They come in early and Billy giggles as they join in in time

Last week, after a few drinks I found myself watching the Lost 94 Tapes from the Vieuphoria dvd, full blast, on a big screen for the first time in years. And holy shit, Soma>Hummer>Porcelina instrumental>Silverfuck... Combined with Eric Remschneider and the psychedelic, almost surreal superimposition visuals of the members playing on top of each other made for quite an experience.

It literally is the opposite of Oceania live.

This mayo performance:

dang, just imagine writing a confessional song like disarm and watching 50,000 people singing along to your song, fucking peak experiences man. no wonder billy got fucked up, how many people can come out of that humble, after seeing that shit 100s of times.

I'm drunk right now but damn that is such a good song for real

The 2007 version of Tonight, Tonight. Saw it live and it just had a euphoric feel to it.

The Thirty-Three video makes me tear up for some reason.

...cued up >>>

The performance of Rocket of 8-14-93 (on the dvd that came with the SD reissue) is especially euphoric

F i love rocket. Such a strange, creative arrangement, with the buzzing drone of the verse ‘peggio juxtapose with those grinding pre-choruses and choruses and post-choruses, the serpentine lead hooks biting, stinging, tangling round your brain.

Add to that a top notch jimmy part sorta stuttering in the verse, just a bit to keep u from fading, then whompa pom! send u into the stratosphere for the exciting parts

Plus when bill go “AH SHALL B FREY”

misread title as monuments.

-The very beginning of Tonight Tonight once the strings kick in

-The static leading into the opening shredding of Bodies

-The first and last notes of Soma as well as the crescendo

-All of the 'alternate' GATGC

- I - just - want - to beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ME

Too many moments to count

breathing under water... [dru doo doo doo...] and living under glass

that guitar part

also, to steal from ilikeplanets from the last thread like this:

IN MY MIND I'M EVERYONE

to sheila... the opening picking... basically all the banjo picking

and the bridge 'lately I just can't seem to believe...'

his singing on this song is sublime all the way through

definitely an underrated song

^agreed, such a beautiful track

if only the rest of adore was in a similar style

a summer storm graces all of me....

to sheila just might be tsp's best.

So cry these tears, we'll cry as all
We've held so long to fall apart
As the curtain falls, we bid you all goodnight

- Outro of Cinder
- Untitled guitar solo
- Starla guitar solo 1994-02-25
- Here is No Why (just the song in general)

The “if you’re giving in” part coming in over the end of the solo in Here Is No Why

The Speed Kills jam from Pittsburgh 1999

Been looking for some absolutely amazing live version of Disarm from the SD-era that was posted on here forever ago. It captured the song at its purest and made me feel like I was hearing it for the first time all over again, which is nearly impossible for most of their hits. Wish I had more deets on what it was.

The middle to end quiet part of Hummer, takes my breath away every time. So delicate, so dreamy, basically THAT is Smashing Pumpkins right there.

First loud chorus of Rhinoceros.

When the echo on the vocals kicks in after the "fallen kite" line in Obscured, and the e-bow at the end.

Quiet outro of Soma.

I'm gonna say it, the intro to Quasar. And the solo after the chorus line in My Love Is Winter.

First chorus of Stand Inside Your Love.

The little middle duo guitar part in Galapagos.

The breakdown in Blue.

The quiet middle part of Geek USA.

All of Whir.

The Shame piano/guitar solo from 12-2-00 Metro.

Porcelina from 11-29-00 , the United center show

take a day
plant some trees
may they shade you from me
may your children play beneath
