    This perfectly captures what is so special about the pumpkins: the heaviness and softness transition seamlessly and often happen at the same time. Guess it came out of fuzz rock. I know a lot of people hate his voice, but it’s a big part of what makes that work.

    True. And Chamberlain never gets enough credit for his drumming. And even beyond that, the band (and all of its separate parts) never get credit for their collective greatness. They were one of the best bands ever and each member contributed significantly to that success. I wish people would recognize that.

      Martius Picus It really wasn't that great man. Grunge was burning out by this point and that was really all that was happening. Everything was rehashed and changing. We all listened to 80's punk/hardcore, boy bands, west coast rap. It wasn't that great. I like smashing pumpkins now but Alternative got so overplayed and shitty. Also if you were into metal like I was all the bigger bands started releasing really shitty albums and it was not cool like it is now to be into metal.

    The European music festivals in the 90's, where like the American festivals in the 60's. In fact, the 90's music scene was very much like what I had imagined the 60's being like. I was just glad to have spent my teen years in the era.

    I am so proud and yet so sad to be able to say I can attend this festival every year. It's literally a 20 minute drive from my home. Once, in the 80's and especially the 90's, this was where rock music was at it's very best. Pearl Jam really got big at Pinkpop. And whenever I'm looking for SP performances, these always stand out as the best.
    However, the glory is long gone. Today, rock legends like them share the stage with Justin Bieber and the like. Which I respect, but the glory of this era has worn off. And as a result, when I finally saw Pearl Jam for the first time ever at this festival, the crowd was not even half as excited as this one.

    The band's live and stunning performance during this early 1990's period proves their intense greatness as a unit. One apparent key for a band with a prodigy lead guitarist like Corgan, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, etc. is the band not competing with the lead.
    Then the big money hits which enables the ego trips, drugs, and many excesses. Surprise, nobody died. Phew.
    Corgan playing all the instruments on Siamese Dream proves he was the essential core of the band. It was Corgan's sound. The key uniqueness of The Pumkins I hear are Corgan's vocals which alternate between soft slow highs and powerful screaming crescendoes.
    Darcy's wow beauty added immensely to their stage presence. Her non competitive bass riffs stayed out of the band's way. A bass road hog like Jaco Pastorius would have ruined things. James Iha's drone, drone, drone rythym guitar playing was the perfect backdrop for Corgan's lead.
    What kills many bands after their first two or three albums is they have about eight smash hit singles which fans at the concerts want to hear. But, the band is on the road and playing these same songs over and over on a daily basis for years. It crushes their creativity, so they change, move away from the hits, and it pisses off the audiences.
    Also, in Corgan's case, he betrayed the on stage rock look when he shaved his head and gained a ton of weight. The Uncle Festus impersonation didn't work. Surrounded by "Yes Men" nobody said, hey, this look sucks! Then came the goofy on stage space outfits, screwball videos, and new band members.
    If only they could have trapped the "lightning in a bottle" of this performance!
