1998/07/10 - Will Rodgers Auditorium - Fort Worth, TX (great quality, features every song on Adore):O
:O
This was the last SP show I went to, and the only time I met Billy.
Or maybe the Grand Ol Opry show on the same tour was later?

I almost posted that one because it’s all acoustic
― flappy bird, Thursday, 12 April 2018 00:46 (six years ago) link
I can almost enjoy these. I just wish the sound quality was better.

Is there a SBD filter on archive?
I don't think you can filter on it, because its part of the free text, but the search function's at the top left (on the desktop site anyway). SBD, soundboard, and matrix each bring up results.

Just out there trying to find SP fun facts and found this interesting:
http://loudwire.com/billy-corgan-singles-soundtrack-slight-smashing-pumpkins-drown/
I very much remember hearing Drown once or twice on the radio and then mysteriously disappearing.

Has anyone other than Corgan backed up that version of events?

very close to the phrasing and delivery on the album, also Billy's voice is uncharacteristically warm and gentle and not screechy, more so than on the take that's on the album

This song was sort of the breaking point for me with SP back in the 1990s. I remember a friend pointing out that the local alt rock station kept playing it right when her clock radio went off, so she kept waking up to "the world is a vampire..." for a week or something. We all scoffed at how dumb the lyric was. But now I like how Brad puts it: "fuckin dumb and great".

Ha, I think that's three or four of us who m/l went off the band when this single came out the first time around. (I partly came around on it too.)
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Friday, 13 April 2018 13:30 (six years ago) link
My breaking point was Everlasting Gaze which was such a complete DNW that I dont even think I realized for a while that I had gone off them completely

not much live footage of Billy playing piano on the Adore tour (or at all really, until his solo record & tour last year)

And so many in here saying BWBW was the immediate buzzkill, and maybe not itt but certainly elsewhere that goes for Ava Adore, too. I wonder what would've happened if Billy got his way and actually released Jellybelly as the lead single from MCIS. No doubt it would've been less successful - I mean what was he thinking? BWBW second single??
― flappy bird, Saturday, 14 April 2018 04:23 (six years ago) link
the flow of the singles from MCIS is really cool, must've been weird to live through them. BWBW into 1979 into Zero into Tonight, Tonight into Thirty-three. Like what if Jonathan survived and the original lineup stuck together and put out Muzzle as planned for the fifth single? and Zero wasn't really a hit right? The video rules but that one is definitely less known than the videos for the rest of the record, including Thirty-three. But it's still one of their iconic songs.

I didn’t vote for “Silverfuck” but I should have. It’s like an Underworld track only played on rock instruments.

i saw that fashion awards performance on tv when it happened! it's probably why "crestfallen" is one of my favorite songs

btw don't think i ever posted this summer 1993 performance of Hummer from Fruit Bat Salad... it's sooo much slower than almost all of the SD-era shows, really it's one of the few existing recordings (and only video afaik) of them playing it at the same speed as it is on SD. anyway it's a sweet video, they're playing at the Unicorn a year later, July 1993, band has already way outgrown the club they're in, it's bizarre.

bought tickets to see them play live for my first time. setlists from last year are pretty good, so I'm cautiously optimistic for a good show. probably should listen to Cyr to prepare.
