One of the greatest bands of all time in their absolute prime.

[Pippy]

Thru the eyes of Ruby hits so hard!!!!

[casscolc]

I was at this show, one of my first ever as a 16 year old, Pumpkins were my favourite band in the world at that time…. It still remains one of my favourite gigs of all time.

[StamperOSRS]

This performance of “here is no why” is one of the best I’ve ever heard. The entire song building up to that final chorus was gorgeous, heavy, filthy and pure genius

[davidr]

Thru the Eyes of Ruby played just wonderfully.  Overall, I think it's one of their top 5 masterpiece songs.

[Edi]

Thru the Eyes of Ruby is AMAZING here!

[purity]

This has to be the best show they ever did.

[chrisperry]

How billy corgan goes from calm beautiful acoustic to pure rage is so awsome

[twilightfades_]

I would do anything to be with this crowd. Just dancing and living in the moment to the Smashing Pumpkins. I'm so envious.

[AdventureDad]

WOW! What an amazing time in history. Music still written by the band, talented performers. Miss the 90's...

[jgribhamnz]

I saw this live when I was just a kid (maybe 16) and watched it dozens of times since on VHS. It had such a profound impact on me and opened my eyes to rock music (i.e. guitar) for the rest of my life (I'm now 33). One of the best concerts and a truly amazing band. SP for life!

[abbynormal]

Music doesn't get any better than this.

[permaveg]

James Iha's slide work's well on 'Tonight'.

[nongthip]

I used to play the shit out of their records (personal favorite: Pisces Iscariot) 20 years ago (especially in the car with the top down and sound up!) and this is one of their best concert videos when they were rock royalty. Wanna go for a ride!!!

[United]

I was at this gig and it was amazing from start to finish. A short acoustic set followed by 2 hours of rock at its best. I'd also been to see them the night before at Wembley arena (as it was known then). Good times

[Redzeh]

One of the best sp concerts imo. I remember taping (yes VHS) this, transferring it to my audio tape and replaying umpteen times., Of course these were my teenage/coming of age years and hold particular significance and memories. I used the video of this concert to learn most of the songs on the guitar. My personal favourites Porcelina and Thru the eyes of ruby especially with their alternate endings. This was clearly a tumultuous time for the pumpkins and it brought out the best in them

[aboutthisproduct]

If they had the 3 and a half hours to this set then it might be the greatest live video ever! I cannot believe they lost the film!

[froag]

One of the best Through the eyes of Ruby I've heard. Especially from jimmy.

[alexandrudaian]

Billy has such a unique vocal stamp <3
Hard to belive that I fall in love with this band just now.

[adamcoe]

band firing on all cylinders. i saw this tour but sadly only after the incident with jimmy and jonathan...but i WAS at jimmy's first show back in the band, and it was at a tiny club, so that kind of made up for it.

but yeah...this performance thru the eyes of ruby is a high water mark of this band. even james comes off like a badass in his solo. spectacular.
