Is this comment based upon the string section's dress compared with BC's? BC rarely wears short sleeve. I *think* this may be due to his Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. If so, it'd be just him...which would be no different than most of us who are overly sensitive to our perceived imperfections. -If I am wrong about all of this just ignore me. :)
I remember first finding Smashing Pumpkins when I was in third grade. At the time, I wasn't allowed to listen to secular music (in all fairness third grade is probably a little early for Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness) but Stacy was a fifth grader down the street who wore Chucks and played a Strat and had a giant Nirvana poster and I was obsessed with her. I remember when she gave me a single track tape with Bullet With Butterfly Wings and I listened to it over and over (quietly in my room so my parents couldn't hear) literally until it fell apart in my tape player. I think I cried myself to sleep that night. Years later when I got my first job, I realized I couldn't be kept from listening to what I wanted to listen to and staring at my first paycheck in epiphany, I frantically and recklessly drove to the record store in the mall and bought the first album I ever bought with my own money: Siamese Dream. And then I played it until it was almost transparent and too scratched to all hell to make it more than 30 seconds into "Today." So I bought it again. In fact, I bought that album 4 times before CDs became a novelty and now it's just downloaded on my phone. I don't know what it was about Billy Corgan's voice that hooked me but it got in deep man, and never really let go. So when I say I love this man I mean I love him. I hate how overused and cliche this is but Billy Corgan changed my life. Well, him and Stacy Pfeiffer from down the street. She was a total badass.
Could you imagine being one of the string players finding out you are going to play with Bily Corgan, and then getting the sheet music to "Tonight, Tonight." I've seen some awesome stuff on Tiny Desk but that has to be one of my favorite of all time.
Indeed 90's is the best, with so many excellent bands like Metallica, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, Megadeath...just name a few. But nothing so exciting after the 90's, I guess kids after the 90's were all distracted by computer games and stuff like that. 🤣🤣🤣
I met Billy during a layover in Texas. I was at a really rough point in my life and he was really sweet and insightful. Amazing person and amazing talent
One of the most talented music composers of any generation. His music will be even more appreciated as time goes on. Thank you for all the work you have done, so much appreciated.
When I was a freshman in high school, there was this awesome upper classman I really looked up to, and she kind of took this nerdy, sheltered kid under her wing and taught me about what was cool in high school in the mid 90s. My education started with music, and she made me a mixed tape. The first track on side 1 was Bullet with Butterfly Wings, and that was my intro to the Smashing Pumpkins. When I started driving myself to school a couple years later, I played that tape on the way to school every morning, always starting with track 1, side 1, until I graduated from high school. I still adore Billy Corgan's distinctive voice, which has really just improved with maturity, it seems.
I clicked on this not expecting much, maybe a musician past his prime, in decline. He sounds better than ever and these were beautiful tunes. Loved "Aeronaut" and "Mandarynne", and of course Tonight Tonight. Very well done. You know a great musician when they can play in a situation like this one. It cuts the wheat from the chaff. Doing my shoe gazing days I drove around an entire summer never taking Siamese Dream out of my changer just living that album.
With his 2 recent acoustic solo records & the new Pumpkins album its like he found it again. Thats for sure. And their live performances are amazing. His voice really is great But even his experimental synth albums Aegea & Siddhartha are intriguing
@@nebulous8389 Zeitgeist is great. Maybe not "soulful", but very technical and well constructed. Monuments to an Elegy is when he started to fall off. Its been downhill since.
@@alibabaschultz352 I think I was expecting more of a sound that was like their recent album AMM has and was disappointed also the mix was terrible and hurt it. The live version of the song sounded much better and had more energy. I don't understand how they could of thought it was a good mix. Maybe they are all deaf
@@nebulous8389 Well, i wont completely disagree about the mix. That being said, i think the mix is leagues better than almost anything he has put out in the last decade.
@@jett3474 simple-ish chord progressions with really good layering. Although to layer and make songs the way he does one needs a not so simple brain for sure
Because it comes from his soul. When he sings, you can tell he feels it.

It's funny; cause I'm moderately autistic, although I've always loved music of all sorts, when I first heard his voice, it was kind of grating on my ears... I've got sensitive hearing. So glad that I stuck with his voice though because I grew to absolutely adore it for its unique tone. This then allowed me to enjoy so much of his music. MCAIS was probably the most important cd purchase I made during my youth.
Omg, takes me straight back to the hardest point in my life with the music that got me through all the bullshit. Billy was so important to my coming of age.
I'll always have a soft spot for Billy Corgan/Smashing Pumpkins. Crowd surfed for the first time in 1994 seeing them in Fitchburg, MA (then called Wallace Civic Center). Loved the ability of that band to go from raw power to quiet, melancholy in a heartbeat. Wonderful surprise to see him on the Tiny Desk & his new songs are beautiful.
Nice! I remember it basically being a hockey arena... the crowd lost their minds when they played Rocket two or three songs in... Siamese Dream was taking over the airwaves. Good times.
Yeah, it was a medium sized hockey arena, I actually played hockey there many years earlier! Which I also just remembered when you mentioned that!!! I remembered being shocked that they were playing in Fitchburg. We traveled down from Umass Amherst for the show. Yeah it was crazy.
The sound engineering @ NPR Music is superb. Similarly Live on KEXP in Seattle does a stellar job as well. The audio quality is often better than the actual studio recordings or live venue performances.
Tonight, Tonight (via Wikipedia): "...the song is addressed to himself [Billy Corgan], who escaped from an abusive childhood against all odds, so as to keep him believing in himself." Knowing that, when he sings (2:25): "...the place I was born." The way he changes the lyric from "you" to "I" gives me chills.
@@Thomas-pu7nl yup, which is next to Lake Michigan. No disagreement there. By him changing the pronoun from "you" to "I" makes the song even more personal.
MrRicepaper Billy took these songs to Rick Ruben as “rough” demos. Expecting rick to want more production. He wanted them all stripped down just like this. I’m glad billy went to Rick and put his trust in him. The entire new BC album is Awesome. Rick deserves some credit I think.
So underrated as a songwriter and musician. Shaped a lot of my teenage years with the Pumpkins. Such a diverse talented band no matter how the lineup changed.
David Pearson I think what he means is that not too many people mention Billy’s name when they talk about the greatest songwriters/musicians. I’m just talking about the conversations I’ve experienced though. The smashing pumpkins are not a very popular band where I live and I’m one of the few teenagers that like them. Of course most people where I am know 1979 though. Again, just speaking from my experiences so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s completely different where u are.
The first song... His voice is like a fine wine, its only gotten more dynamic as he's aged a bit. This song is one of the most important of my youth, like many of my generation I guess. Thank you Mr. Corgan ❤
Corgan is underrated if that's possible. One of my favorite musicians over the years. Great songwriter and lyricist. He's been at it for literally more than 30 years and has somehow remained inspired and able to write songs that make you listen.
Eh npr blows. However they’ve really nailed it with this series a few times. It bothers me that liberals identify with npr. It’s nothing more than establishment tripe.
Regardless of his personality, Tonight Tonight is an absolute masterpiece that Corgan nailed. This is arguably the best version of it too, hearing the stripped-back vocals and guitars allow him to shine.
I'll never forget my very first concert. Smashing Pumpkins at the bronco bowl in Dallas Texas. 1996 I was 11. I count myself lucky to experience them before their fall.... miss you D'arcy get yourself clean and come back to us.
Now understanding more about BC's life experiences and challenges, I am even more of a fan of his talent! Keep writing it and singing it bro! We appreciate you!
Billy Corgan came prepared for his Tiny Desk Concert. Having the various String Quartet in the background is excellent. Billy Corgan plays Acoustic Guitar Excellent and his vocals are great.
Honestly, one of my favorite musicians, He's so genuine, talented, passionate, intelligent, and compassionate. Love his music, truly resonates with me.
I realize he’s played and sung “Tonight” a million times but it’s got to be an extremely difficult tune to pull off yet he absolutely kills it here. Fucking amazing.
The soundtrack to my youth was everything Smashing Pumpkins. I know Billy and the band have been through a lot... so it's very heart warming to see him continuing doing his thing. MCATIS and Adore are where I first noticed Billy's softer side and his new solo album looks to be very promising. Great performance. The string quartet were just as amazing (also love what they did for Alt-J.) Thanks so much for sharing this.
Billy, your music has given me so much strength, inspired boundless imagination, and shaped my sensitivity toward everything. Thank you so much. I am deeply grateful for awakening me to become a better adult. Please continue to create amazing music. With gratitude, from one of your fans in South Korea.
We will never know the temperature of that room.
best comment ever.
it seems you have all four seasons in that room. at once
Very underrated comment

Tonight, Tonight is one of the most beautiful songs ever
Yes it is!
The music!!
I like mayonnaise
I didn't mind Today either....
makes me remember the good old days :) i could cry everytime i hear it
The folks who run the sound / eq for these TinyDesk shows are heroes.
I was just thinking its nice to HEAR his voice again.
hell yeah they are :-)
Unbelievable what they do... hats off!!!
Why you dont see events like this at Wal-Mart haha. Somebody at this dang shop is a god and deserves some form of recognition.
Agreed! Wish I could like comment again.
Big props to Jerry Cantrell on the viola. A humble, dynamic talent.
now i can't stop thinking about a Tiny Desk with AiC
🤣😂
Also for not so subtly eyeballing the cellist a reminder to emphasize the 3 on the opener
I just spit water out on my keyboard.
@@dsmoreira2010 same, that would be insanity.
the older I get the more it feels like I'm hearing Tonight Tonight for the first time
Absolutely, what an impressively great song!
I love you.
We thought our heroes would never get old. But they did so did we ...
I feel that too
You can never leave without leaving a piece of youth :)
This is probably the best version of Tonight Tonight. The vocals are so sensitive and you can hear Billy's age and maturity in them.
He is going super within performing this 1
a wise comment bud!
1998 at The Grand Ole Opry House...
exactly

The recording quality is insane.
little too much on the highs in the mix, but it does sound good.
@@peanutbutterrobot agree but hey….beauty is never perfect.
@@robertadams2365 ain't that the truth
The 90’s... golden era.
So many good memoirs listening Corgan’s voice.
Indeed 90's is the best, with so many excellent bands like Metallica, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, Megadeath...just name a few. But nothing so exciting after the 90's, I guess kids after the 90's were all distracted by computer games and stuff like that. 🤣🤣🤣
I met Billy during a layover in Texas. I was at a really rough point in my life and he was really sweet and insightful. Amazing person and amazing talent
Whoever got him on Tiny Desk needs a raise!
Was smitten over 30 years ago and still am!
my eyes are watery after hearing tonight, tonight again after a long while... thanks SP
Yes I love this song so much. The official music video is wonderful.
0:00 "Tonight, Tonight"
4:30 "Aeronaut"
8:03 "Mandarynne"
Ty
Thx
thanks mate
Thx ❤️
Thank you
I love love love how this video just straight away opens with Tonight.
One of the most talented music composers of any generation. His music will be even more appreciated as time goes on. Thank you for all the work you have done, so much appreciated.
I love this so much. Wish he would've sang "Galapagos"
Wow, his voice is strong here. The strings add so much depth. Very moving and we'll done. I wish him nothing but good things
Right? I hope he preserves the voice of Gen X.

Sound quality on this is simply amazing. Nothing short of a studio recording.
I'd just like to say that I do, in fact, believe in Billy Corgan.
Wonderful version of Tonight, Tonight. It really shows, once again, how great that song is. Thank you, Billy.
yes yes yes
Epic....in every style he plays .... this song will be remembered forever and ever

So glad to see William Patrick Corgan play with Legolas before i died.
That violinist operates his stringed instrument like a professional killer.
😂😂@@te9591
Those violins at the beginning of the amazing performance of "Tonight, tonight" gave me goose bumps.
Love u, Billy.

You ever think about how hard it would be to level a concert like this? Mad skills by the sound engineer
What a treat....Billy is a true musical genius...
The sound engineering @ NPR Music is superb. Similarly Live on KEXP in Seattle does a stellar job as well. The audio quality is often better than the actual studio recordings or live venue performances.
Damn Billy's still got it! Hopefully a reunion next year! I was 17 when Mellon collie and the infinite sadness was released, Miss the 90's!

He changed that part of the original song,it Says "you were born"
I read something similar about "Disarm", supposedly about his experience as a foster kid.
No sorry... "the city by the lake the place I was born." is just Chicago where... he was born...
@@Thomas-pu7nl yup, which is next to Lake Michigan. No disagreement there. By him changing the pronoun from "you" to "I" makes the song even more personal.

Did not expect Tiny Desk to bring this legend here! I'm so happy!!!
I don't always get melancholy when listening music, but when I hear the Smashing Pumpkins, I get melancholied to infinite sadness.
I know it's been 4 years since you said this, but you should know that this stranger appreciates this comment.
This is not the Smashing Pumpkins...this is The Ego and some string players.
Best tiny desk I've seen in a long time, absolutely beautiful, and that chellist...... perfection.
She plays the chello beautifully.

Best songwriter of all time
Underrated? He is regarded as an all time great. Make no mistake
WoodrowWilson underrated? He’s a millionaire. I wouldn’t say that’s underrated. Lol.
THERE'S the guy with the "underrated" comment
The first song... His voice is like a fine wine, its only gotten more dynamic as he's aged a bit.
This song is one of the most important of my youth, like many of my generation I guess. Thank you Mr. Corgan ❤
Billy's voice always have a way to touch the listener to bring back old memories. Is it only me?
No its not only you. Billy sounds incredible imo one of a kind.
Agreed
Billy never sold out in my opinion, still makes good music & true to his own style, God bless you brother
Such a unique voice.
what a great voice
A great artist
Whiny, yet whispy. Iconic
Yes! I love his voice.
Dude is a studio singer.
Billy Corgan is a star
The 90's.....great time to come of age with great music.
Yep..I miss it...A LOT!
Corgan is underrated if that's possible. One of my favorite musicians over the years. Great songwriter and lyricist. He's been at it for literally more than 30 years and has somehow remained inspired and able to write songs that make you listen.
His words are magic. Probably bc he says he creates his songs as poems before translating them to lyrics
Underrated? He won two grammys (and 12 nominations), he won 7 MTV awards (16 nominations) and more than 30 million albums sold worldwide...
wow...this is why I love NPR
Brian Anderson you are everywhere
Marry it then
Eh npr blows. However they’ve really nailed it with this series a few times. It bothers me that liberals identify with npr. It’s nothing more than establishment tripe.
I was a member of the Smashing Pumpkins' fan club back in 1994. It is so refreshing to hear Billy sing like this again.
This sent me right back into one of the best times in my life.
So beautiful
i love the intimacy of tiny desk concerts. They make musical performances feel more personal and warm :)
Not only can Billy rock out, but he also writes these beautiful songs!
I've always loved Billy Corgans songs. His voice is beautiful.
Regardless of his personality, Tonight Tonight is an absolute masterpiece that Corgan nailed. This is arguably the best version of it too, hearing the stripped-back vocals and guitars allow him to shine.
I saw smashing pumpkins in 2000 in South Africa! Amazing show!
Blasting Cherub Rock before school started, walking the campus, feeling like a fucking badass. Smashing Pumpkins is life
Just imagine yourself standing over there listening to this magnificent and glorious concert.
He’s so good. One of the best 90s bands.
Tonight, Tonight was the first song I taught myself on guitar. Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins are the reason I wanted to learn how to play.
Waited my whole life to see them in concert and finally did last fall. It was awesome, they were phenomenal and I'll never forget it.
I'll never forget my very first concert. Smashing Pumpkins at the bronco bowl in Dallas Texas. 1996 I was 11. I count myself lucky to experience them before their fall.... miss you D'arcy get yourself clean and come back to us.
He manages to tap into what we've all felt. It feels like being in a dark forest. A beautiful one. Eternal fall but finding comfort in the loneliness.
I'm waiting for the Smashing Pumpkins song called "Tomorrow" which brings their trilogy of "Today" and "Tonight" to completion.
Travis Huey maybe we will get a yesterday as well
Maybe it should be called Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow
???
The Before Trilogy of music.
I of the Mourning was a close one.
yesterday - the beatles
today - the smashing pumpkins
tomorrow - silverchair
WOW HOW DID I MISS THIS ONE????
his voice has not changed with age at all, that's awesome.
Now understanding more about BC's life experiences and challenges, I am even more of a fan of his talent! Keep writing it and singing it bro! We appreciate you!
That guitar sounds fucking phenomenal. So does Billy's voice. So do the strings.
No need to swear
@@gregkosinski2303 bruh
..it's a Yamaha L-series acoustic - of course it does!
Best start to a concert ever😮😮😮
What a song……..❤
Sitting around a fire with a dozen of my friends on a perfect night listening to songs like Tonight Tonight is one of my favorite memories.
Billy Corgan came prepared for his Tiny Desk Concert.
Having the various String Quartet in the background is excellent.
Billy Corgan plays Acoustic Guitar Excellent and his vocals are great.
Honestly, one of my favorite musicians, He's so genuine, talented, passionate, intelligent, and compassionate. Love his music, truly resonates with me.
I feel bad for all the kids who missed the 90s…..nothing like it
I realize he’s played and sung “Tonight” a million times but it’s got to be an extremely difficult tune to pull off yet he absolutely kills it here. Fucking amazing.
I care not his qualms or grievances, that man’s voice is uniquely timeless. Beautiful. Kudos to to all involved in this creation.
The soundtrack to my youth was everything Smashing Pumpkins. I know Billy and the band have been through a lot... so it's very heart warming to see him continuing doing his thing. MCATIS and Adore are where I first noticed Billy's softer side and his new solo album looks to be very promising.
Great performance. The string quartet were just as amazing (also love what they did for Alt-J.) Thanks so much for sharing this.
This brought a tear to my eye I grew up in the 90s and remember standing in line to buy this album
this man is a genius songmaker. enjoying all the old and new songs from him
Mandarynne mesmerized me the first time I heard it, and it's only gotten better since. I keep coming back.
Shout out to the violinists.
And the violist and the cellist....
PuertoBlack their inner and outer beauty is such a counter point to Billy goat gruff
Wow. The strings on tonight tonight….beautiful
Couldn’t have clicked this faster.
I was like "HOLY SHIT!" when I saw it
same ;)
Hell yes.
Same bro
Wow I honestly didn't know he was this good. My bad. Really wonderful.
damn two jackets and a scarf inside
This is the comment I came looking for!!!
Yeah. He has to warm the anti matter of his alt rock gothic heart. He sent a smile over to you and now hes cold.
And he's a bit puffy in figure too. Plenty of natural insulation.
@@closebits billy corgan is not the Michelin man.
Bulletproof vest.
I always loved the strings of Tonight Tonight. Those strings enchanted me at the age of 12 & still am.
I love he did "Tonight, Tonight." iconic Pumpkins.
Now I’ve realized again that his voice itself is already a marvelous instrument
very recently harbored a powerful fascination with this guy and smashing pumpkins
This performance is impressive! It's a delight to see the artist performing like this, singing the song as beautifully as the original recording.
he still has it
believe.. in the resolute urgency of now.. and if you believe there's not a chance.. tonight.
OUT OF THIS WORLD BILLY CORGAN!!

Awesome. I remember Smashing Pumpkins played every night @ the Metro in the early 90s..thankyou everybody!
Goodness that cellist is gorgeous.
There is still a lot of life left in his voice.
