just a testament to how good jimmy chamberlain is.

[@jaimeflor4181]

Yeah, it’s way better with him and the replacement drummers couldn’t cut it. Not that this is a bad performance.

[@bdl2546]

Jimmy chamberlin was the best drummer of that era nobody could replace him

[@EthandelaHoz]

​@@bdl2546maybe David Lovering

[@robbiepeterh]

Can’t begin to describe how disappointed I was when, as a 14 year old, they played this modified version of Bullet. I was irate!

[@jaimeflor4181]

I saw them right after Jimmy left and I was pretty disappointed with that concert. It wasn’t the best venue, so the acoustics weren’t great, but the drummer played everything different.

[@felipegajardo8980]

I'd be furious if I was at that concert and they played "Thru The Eyes..." that way. What a waste! Love the studio version.

[@hv1225]

This version totally saps the dynamics out of the songs.

[@evanburgess76]

It takes 3 drummers to replace Jimmy...

[@codrinmurariu2420]

And none of them nailed it. ;)

[@bladerunner1b]

The Adore tour was a train wreck (obviously^) without Jimmy Chamberlin and the lingering effect OD death of Jonathan Melvoin and the passing of Billy's mother. D'arcy was also a mess at this point (nice outfit tho), and Corgan and Iha had checked out mentally. They were never really the same after.

[@jpanbe]

I think this version is pretty amazing so I don't hear it... yet..

[@fishchipsandmushypeas]

1998 was so under appreciated for the Pumpkins. Thanks for sharing.

[@NorthWalesKid]

Tonight tonight is one of the greatest songs of all time.
The lyric ‘the more you change the less you feel’ is stunning

[@birdbathd1918]

I was 14 when they did this show. I miss the 90s. 😢

[@jaimeflor4181]

Sounds good still, but Chamberlin’s drum beat for this song compliments it significantly. I didn’t enjoy these tours as much as the prior ones, or the Arising Tour and afterwards.

[@allanbluzdude]

The drummer looks like Kenny Aronoff.

[@peterpfukwa]

It is

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

I just watched his interview saying how hard it was playing in the middle of additional percussionists not playing in sync and trying to hold it down as the main drummer. He said Billy couldn’t even hear what the were playing.

[@neilanadams5173]

Genuine gem

[@AlexA-ju6lv]

D'arcy Wretzky

[@djkramit]

Awesome. Do you have tracks off of the 'Adore' album?

[@mikec0502]

So sad. Had Billy shared royalties, makes you wonder if we’d still have Darcy…

[@ethanworthington9669]

doubt it tbh, was probably alot of stuff not just royalties, I guess we'll never know...

[@hv1225]

No, she has only her choice to smoke crack to blame.

[@andrewlloydpeterson]

She never wrote any music

[@isismesquita8160]

Adorei a Tiara dela.😈

[@thenewholistic]

I wish both of these versions of these two songs would make it back in their setlist now. Let Jimmy hire some additional percussionists and let him shine. These were the experimental Pumpkins who took chances and now, dance songs and drum machines that limit Jimmy because Billy wants a hit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@simonharwood8488]

Jimmy is the drummer AND all the additional percussion you could ever want. Dude's hands are everywhere.

[@jaimeflor4181]

@@simonharwood8488Jimmy by himself is better than these 3. The ending sounds like what he does by himself.

[@firebirdgao]

I love the adore album but its non sense on stage

[@DickiMoltisanti]

Wow these drums are horrible

[@Najain]

Smash POOPING

[@cesarevp9678]

the only thing that comes out of your brain.

[@mattiasandersson2315]

A very overrated band. There where some exceptions,but overall,, musically the 90's sucked. At least compared to the 60's, 70's and 80's.

[@ficklefartrecordsco3451]

Ok goober

[@travistravinyle4207]

LOL

[@neilanadams5173]

Sheesh man, bad take.

[@CikisHelyzet]

HAHAHA.... smoke another one!

[@Gee-1979]

You obviously weren't there if that's what you truly think. Sad for your loss.
