Default You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian.

I've been doing the SP video rounds this week. When they were on form its unbelievable how good a live act they were. What in your opinion is the best live performance that captures the dynamic energy of The Smashing Pumpkins? My pick:

I don't even know what performance it is, sometime when Billy had hair, maybe around 93/94

but there is a performance of Hummer where Billy absolutely goes nuts slamming on the guitar and screaming when it gets to "I WANT SOMETHING NEW," and to me that moment kind of defines their power as a live act back in the day. it's what I thought of when ninsp made that asinine comment about SP always being lame, immobile, shoegazers live

That "Fuck You" performance at the final Metro show must be the most shared live SP video ever, especially when talking about Jimmy's drumming.

I would imagine it's a 94 show, the longer the tour went, the more screaming he added

these 2 plus a myriad of others

they were so so good back in the day, even just scrolling through this thread brought me a type of effortless joy that's so far removed from this bullshit "Solara era" i couldn't even believe i was on Netphoria for a minute there

In that video he sounds like they invited a fan on stage to play drums for one song.
