The Smashing Pumpkins - Live @ Tibetan Freedom Festival, USA, 15-06-1996
Does this have the immortal shout of "enough of this s***!" from the Beastie Boys on the adjacent stage? Press at the time mentioned a slightly hostile or apathetic reaction to the Pumpkins at this show, hence they wheeled out their heavily retooled Silverf*** six songs in. Now, I had seen them stretch this out for over 40 minutes at the Birmingham NEC a few months earlier at a headlining show, so to do this to a festival is a deliberate crowd killer.
ReplyDeleteThere was definitely bonhomie between the pumpkins and the beasties from Lollapalooza 1994 so why the crowd objected to them here is a mystery. One bootleg I would love to hear is from that tour, where the pumpkins jammed on "silverf***" with the boredoms, that would have been amazing.
