ChCheck out Vieuphoria from 1994 for more of this sort of badassery that covered footage and behind the scenes mostly covering the Siamese Dream era tour cycle. I watched ans rewinded that goddamm tape dozens of times while coming of age in middle school during the mid 90's. I believe there was an audio companion as well audiophoria I believe it was titled.
I grew up in Highland, IN. I was at this show. One year later, I moved to Alaska. I'm fucking 45 now. I just named my fourth dog Starla. Fuck this world now. I want to go back. I'm bleeding tonight. Thank you, Billy. Jimmy is still the best drummer ever. I just bought my son his first kit. I hope WE survive! LOVE.
I miss it too my friend! We put an exclamation on the nineties! Great music and great people! Now we are stuck somewhere between hell and La La land! I want to go back too!!!!!!!

I got to see them about a month later, after this at the Brixton Academy in London, one of the best gigs of my life, the crowd was insane, the mosh pit went right to the back up to the bar area (never seen that before). Happy times.
Fucking D'arcy, what a trooper...always wearing heels. I wish she'd get her shit together so the Pumpkins can be whole again. I know Billy wrote and recorded the bass tracks, but she is still 100% part of the DNA of the Pumpkins.
Uh, for GISH and SD he played bass. She was part of the song writing process, though. She actually played on the other records and is still credited for Gish and SD anyway. What makes you think “she” needs to get her shit together? She may not be the problem.
@@AkathisiaWarrior You're delusional if you think she was a part of the songwriting process...either way I don't really care enough about this comment to argue over it.
Far more gifted than most of his contemporaries, but unfortunately received bad press for being a tyrant. They were untouchable live,brilliant in the studio
Yeah, unfortunately when i saw them on this tour..... I had a moment where i had, run across Billy on the sidelines of the arena £ he very much went out of his way to be a complete & total scunt to me for for waving in an attempt to say hello to him, which fucking crushed me at the time & i'm 120% positive he could see it in my expression. So I just waved at him again & screamed a nice loud Fück Yøu! at him as i walked away. I never forgot that stupid shit, but as much as i would have loved to break a brick across his face, I remained a huge fan & later that same night as they came out to do an encore...... Jimmy Chamberlain, who was & will always be my 1 & only main Drum Influence gave me a thumbs up as I shouted "Jimmy!!!!" as they walked by, up the ramp & onto the stage. After that, I felt totally redeemed. I've remained a mega fan throughout the years & not just of his music but, as a complete & totally under-rated lead guitarist. I mean, I have never seen someone take total control of the guitar like Billy Corgan. His ability to move around & take total advantage of the fretboard with more precision, knowledge & speed by far trump's that of any other player i have ever seen perform. I aspire & practice for hours everyday to hopefully, eventually become even half as accomplished. Unfortunately, when it comes to him on a personal level..... I go wit what I know & that's that he was an egomaniacal fucking prick back in 1994_
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Huxley Alec thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yeah Billy's solo is awesome, but damn Jimmy Chamberlain!!! He's one of the few drummers in rock history that had as much to do with defining the band's unique sound as the lead singer or guitarist. Like Bonham, Peart, Ringo Starr even, his playing is just immediately recognizable and unique. This album came out the summer before my senior year and I spent half the year trying to play like Jimmy. Gish was great but this album put them in a league of their own. I weep for today's youth.
Billy/SP was my inspiration to learn to play guitar - way back in 1995. Kind of a bummer for me to choose somebody like that to try and learn! 25 years later, I still play my guitars daily - and I'm absolutely nowhere near his level. Though to be fair, there are some things I can do with an acoustic (which is my main thing these days) that are quite a bit better than Billy. His acoustic strumming technique is kind of rigid and brash, and he has almost no fingerpicking/travis picking ability.
@@ddd1hhh I know I've seen BC rated in several top 100 guitarist lists, though I can't reference which ones. But obviously, popularity is more important on those lists than actual talent/skill.
In about 100 years when we are dead and gone and forgotten this music will not be forgotten. The legacy this band leaves later future bands will be huge I suspect. Kudos Smashing Pumpkins!
@@roydenbellman yeah 99,99% of humanity will be gone, but I think there is an elite that will live in some underground fortress or on the moon or something like that
WOW. What I've just seen? The Pumpkins made "Starla" sounds even more special to me by now. This show at Metro in 93 seems to be the BEST PERFORMANCE EVER... TOTALLY BREATHTAKING!!! Oh Lord, I need to buy my Siamese Dream Deluxe before Xmas.
Imo I think this version is far superior to the record version,mainly due to the Cello accompaniment it really adds to the mood and tone of the song and of course Billy's vocals live here kick ass and Jimmy is just a god.
Siamese Dream and Nevermind are the foundation of everything I was and am today. All positive things in my life were accomplished under the massive influence of those 2 records. I want to hug Billy and I wouldnt be even ashamed to cry while thanking him for everything
I'm in here Please take me home Starla dear I'm all alone When you can't decide what's on your mind It's clear I'm here, Starla dear To disappear takes so much time Starla dear, you're on my mind Soon, soon I'll be leaving Soon, soon I'll be leaving I hear all you're saying I hear all you're failing I'm in here Please take me home Starla dear I'm all alone Serve yourself No one else can do for you like you And no one else fails like me In my eyes I burn alive Fly like a bird No more words just you and I High in the sky ❤️🌹
This band was much more psychedelic than media people realized, with the flanged effects over leads that strain, then just bleed into superbly fuzz-overdriven riffs. They even dressed like a psychedelic band earlier on with the silks and such. At some point, the media tried to lump them into "alt-grunge," but in the earlier days, they were post-60s psychedelic. Billy is a riff master, and really underappreciated in modern times. Years later, he'd drop nearly 100 unique songs while making Mellon Collie. That's some Prince level of musical output.
Corgan deserves to be in the top 10 guitarist of all time.He is a complete artist, song writer a pianist and made good things as a solo artist. Apart is musical talent he aslo promotes in the entertainement business of wrestling!
Guitar solo by Mr Corgan starts at 7:00 or so, but the vocals and the cello parts earlier are really not to be skipped over - even for one helluva guitar solo.
Aahhhhhhh you play that guitar and make me imagine what a potential heaven might be like Billy. Gorgeous song and band - may they be remembered forever. I think they will be in about 200 years when rock historians look back on truly influential bands. Nice. We will be dead and hopefully we will be digging that somewhere somehow.
WOW... Just.... WOW!!!!!! What a moment in time!!!... I LOVE when Billy’s solos are complete and utter beautiful Chaos!!!…Can’t wait to see them in August!!! 🙋♀️💕🌻
Beautiful, not a cell phone in the place. To be able to touch Corgan's Fender and feel the energy coming off that guitar while playing his solo must have been euphoric. At least we have the video to remind us of much happier times.
To Dover: You died in July and am still grappling with it. Will never hear your sultry, sexy voice again. We loved this band so much together listening to Mellon Collie and blowing doobs. That is over now. Am gutted but will carry on for you.
That's a buddy of his that came out to play the electric cello for Billy's lead guitar part. Normally he used the Eventide H3000 Ultra-Harmonizer on his rig with a sweet reverse delay. One of the toys on my list if I can ever find one. ;)

Always remember Billy, there are some of us that appreciate what a guitar GOD you truly are.
first time hearing Starla live, what a song, what a performance
I miss the 90's...
Imo I think this version is far superior to the record version,mainly due to the Cello accompaniment it really adds to the mood and tone of the song and of course Billy's vocals live here kick ass and Jimmy is just a god.
I kinda miss the young Billy Corgan , think he was only 26 here, This was Smashing Pumpkins in their prime , SP Forever ❤️💚💜
this is for sure my favorite version of starla. so much energy in this performance
Greatest Pumpkins song of all time.
Billy is one of the greats I've never heard anyone play the notes he's bending at like 7:48 that welland at 8:28
Oh yeah! This one hurts pretty good! Gonna miss you D.... You will be my Starla Forever!
It seriously does not get any better than this...

holy **** that cello creates such an eerie atmosphere, I love it
Fucking amazing. My soul will never be the same. And ive loved this band for so very long. Hearts for eyes and stuff
😍😎😆😅🍻🥑😘🤩😇
❤ from New Zealand
My favorite era of the Pumpkins...93-94, I love everything about it.
91-94 is the only era I listen to from them but I frigging LOVE it.
I love this song so much, my daughter is named after it!
That’s fuckin awesome! 🤟🏼
A month later i saw them play Brixton Academy London, one of the best gigs of my life. 93 was a good year for gigs.
I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone
When you can't decide what's on your mind
It's clear I'm here, Starla dear
To disappear takes so much time
Starla dear, you're on my mind
Soon, soon I'll be leaving
Soon, soon I'll be leaving
I hear all you're saying
I hear all you're failing
I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone
Serve yourself No one else can do for you like you
And no one else fails like me
In my eyes I burn alive
Fly like a bird
No more words just you and I

I wish Billy would get back to writing more psychedelic songs like this one.
Such an inspiration to pick up an electric guitar and try to recreate these awesome riffs and solos! He was the coolest geek ever!
The Smashing Pumpkins are so underrated
All anyone wanted to talk about in the 90s were Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Neither band were as good as the Pumpkins at this time.
How could you rate this band? They are the best. Are they a 10? or do they break that celling?
Holy crap! I would give anything to have been able to have experienced this in person.

And chill bumps from head to toe twice over after that!!
I love you SP, always and forever!
My favorite version is the show I saw in Milwaukee October 2011.
Classic song with one of the best live versions I've seen/heard to date. Impressive!
This show was amazing. Best pumpkin's song by far
No not by far, thats a faulty statement
My absolute favorite b side ❤
Their writing was some of the best ever! So underrated. Grunge was huge and they are still my favorite
D’arcy!! ❤❤❤
Goose bumps from head to toe from billy's solo.
The cello and Jimmy playing with traditional grip in the beginning! The guitar solo is awesome live, even without all of the extra guitar tracks.
ONE OF BEST FUKN SONG S OF MY EXSISTANCE
Man they sound so good in this set!
one time listen to this song for the first by accident while toking, let me tell you, it was awesome! toking or not, badass song!
I fell in love with this one as soon as i heard it. Still have the single
I loooove this tune. It's an embodiment of their sound
Amazing, truly amazing, just cannot say more.
At this best moment! This is real Billy Corgan,genius!
This is 90'S
Amazing version
Why do they hate him, because he’s so fucking much better
7:10 best moment of my life
Great gig,great venue. Miss the Pumpkins and Metro.
WOW... Just.... WOW!!!!!! What a moment in time!!!... I LOVE when Billy’s solos are complete and utter beautiful Chaos!!!…Can’t wait to see them in August!!! 🙋♀️💕🌻
Just imagine: when they played this, nobody had ever heard this song before.. :D Starla came out in 1994.
Correct!
But people start clapping when Billy starts playing the main guitar riff which makes me believe some people had heard the song before. IMHO
Actually they had played it live in 92, there's even a video of it on RUclips. It was b-side of Gish.
actually it came out in 1991 as the B side to the I Am One single. but still, most people in that crowd 99% hadn't heard it
1991.
Pumpkins influenced my sound SOOOO much.
Superb song, love it so much. Thank you William and the band for giving us so much lovely music over the years.
Keep coming back to this, doesn't get any better
Correction. Its gets better everytime.
A haunting, epic masterpiece!!!
I always lose my mind at 8:04. Ah, Billy... so full of life.
That is an amazing live performance, wow. Pure genius.
Only the Pumpkins!!!! AMAZING!
I had the Three Feet High Bootleg back in the day and don't remember this being on it. Utterly amazing!
I now feel very lucky to have seen this tour,
These guys were magical at their peak ❤
how beautiful
Eternally majestic. 2019 crew??!
