Default 1992-08-29 Reading Festival AMT1 release

Just put out a copy of Reading 92 AMT video. Wasn't circulating at all digitally. This copy is pretty rough, a VHS(4), and there's some interlacing issues likely from the PAL > NTSC conversion.

If anyone knows of a lower gen or a PAL copy of this, please let me know. Would love to find and release a better copy.

The band played at the Reading Festival in Reading, UK on the 29th. The fest proved to be a very disastrous show and nearly led to a break-up. On the "In Conversation" CD, Billy describes the show in frustration as "when fifty-thousand people talk, you can definitely notice, so there's that pressure to really be good. And then you know, you don't get a soundcheck, you're walking onto a big, huge stage, you have people working there who normally don't work, your stuff, instead of being ten feet away is twenty feet away, so it makes the sound different. And that's nobody's fault, but if you get used to working under similar conditions, it all gets thrown to the dogs." Billy smashed up his equipment during an ill-tempered set. Among it, was his guitar and apparently it had struck the record company President in the head. Halfway up the bill, the Pumpkins had been expected to "do a Nirvana" and liven up the event similar to how the Seattle band had been the year before. It didn't occur, and sadly the atmosphere of failure increased by the presence of Nirvana headlining slot the following day. Billy later admitted that the band was upset at each other and "it was one of a handful of times where we've let each other down."

Awesome share. Thank you.

Man.. watching this, and knowing the back story, is pretty cool in retrospect.

How rude, James was so pissed off about D'arcy, he even wore a huge blonde wig in the beginning beside women's clothing!

Weird thing is they sounded pretty awesome here. The version of Siva is intense. Also the crowd seemed into it. I think his perception was just off.

The band sound fine, think it's Billy heaping way too much pressure on an important show and the fact a way more successful Nirvana were headlining the next day
