Smashing Pumpkins Live on VPRO 6/30/93


This is the recording of a radio show they did when, in my opinion they were really in their prime, also its all acoustic which really showcases the raw emotion their songs contained. This short but wonderful show has an amazingly powerful version of my favorite cover they have ever played, Thin Lizzy's "dancing in the moonlight". I also just remembered that I have a compilation of acoustic pumpkins tracks that my good friend Chris made for me years ago so once I can locate the cd I'll up that as well.

  2. they might have been but I'm not really sure, I have always tended to not be around a TV when SNL is on. Just found this random video actually where Billy Corgan talks about their 93 appearance on SNL, sound quality isn't to great but you can make out what he's saying.
