Most diverse alternative band…a chick, tall bald white guy and small asian dude.

After watching that great interview with Rick Beato and Billy Corgan; this is it, this is the moment where Billy listens to Jellybelly and gets emotional. He mentions that this is the era where the band was very optimistic and they were family and had the most harmonious moments. You can tell that he was right during this performance. Darcy was really enjoying the moment. James always looked up Billy as a respectable and admirable frontman and Jimmy was lost on himself playing drums (still is). Jimmy C is the most formidable drummer i've ever seen.

Jeff Foxworthy introducing the Smashing Pumpkins is the most 90's thing you'll see today. Man, what a wonderful time to grow up.

I miss D'arcy. Real talent. Haunting harmonies. Hope she knows she made a difference.

[MrFelo]

D'Arcy and those backing vocals! ❤

[phill]

D'arcy added so much to pumkins sound. They are not the pumpkins without her.

[Joe-tlsz]

I'm going to say I miss D'arcy! I know "just a bass" player, right? Maybe it's the bass, backing vocals, chemistry in the band....? There is just something about her.

This popped up because I like Smashing Pumpkins, but I did a double take after hearing "mourning the loss of Lisa Marie" right after she actually passed away.

The Algorithm is strange like that.

Billy's an American music genius. Very few musicians from anywhere can write and create melodies of this calibre. Brilliant!

[Alvaroo_mr]

What a great singer Gru turned out to be

[khairymaidin]

The cameraman that took the video during smashing playing is a genius. Like watching a indie MV. The camera movement is really iconic 90s style. I hope he got the raise that year

Nice to D Arcy - signing along -- even when not here time to harmony...She was really into the song and the moment . The Pumpkins were magic back then !

[josephlapid]

Still listening October 2023! Cheers! 🍻

Drummer sitting back there chillin listening to the pre recorded track...lol

[marcio]

This is one of the best live performances of this song. Loved it.

[semiprofessional]

Darcy is from my hometown in Michigan. I've seen her a few times but was scared to say hello.

[hunkydory]

Nice to hear actual performances from the band at a show like this. SP, one of my favorite bands from the 90's.

[BoomstickAsh]

Remember watching this performance live when I was a teenager in HS. Went out the next day and picked up a copy of Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness. At 43 now, it’s still one of my favorite albums. God I was so in love with Darcy then 🥰

I grew up in the 90's so bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and other so-called "grunge rock bands" bring back so many memories...I was a teenager back then so I wasn't worrying about money, job, aging and other "grown up stuff" that I worry about right now. lol! Aaah, so many good memories living in the 90's...I miss those days.

I didn't know the goo goo dolls been around since 1979 holy shit.
