This show took place on the day news broke that Kurt Cobain of Nirvana had killed himself. In 2005 Billy Corgan wrote in a liveblog about how he reacted to the news (billycorgan.livejournal.com/21...

Billy: "The Gulf of Mexico [1994][May. 23rd, 2005|06:54 pm][Tags|1994, confessions, kurt cobain, suicide]
"The phone rings way too early, jarring me out of a sweet, humid sleep…the window is open and the sun pours in as the ocean air sweeps through the room…it looks like a beautiful day…”Did you hear the news? He’s gone and killed himself”…my first twilight thought is that it can’t be true, because even I have been reported dead two separate times in the last year (driving down the road, my father had recently heard a report that I was dead, so it must be a rumor or a bad joke)…the t.v. in the room is one of those standard pieces of shit where you need a remote to turn it on, cause they hardwire the front controls off so you can’t jack the channels around to get the movies for free…I flip on CNN with the sound off, figuring if there’s any truth to it that they would have it…there is nothing on at this moment except a general news report, so it must just be a mistake…then I start to think that maybe they won’t care at all and that this might not be the source for information…about 20 seconds in they flash his picture…the talking head is talking away, and my stomach drops about 1,000 feet…I mumble to whoever is on the line for a minute or so, but I don’t remember what I said…they remind me that they are very glad I am still here…I put down the phone, and all is really quiet now…his picture is still up on the screen, frozen…it is one of those rare moments in life where the entire world seems to be stopped, waiting for the next breath…my mind races around to “where is she? I hope she is alright”…I sit on the edge of the bed and just stare at the screen…I cannot believe my eyes, it is just all so sad…I don’t pray, but I do now…I pull myself down to the floor, my back pressed up against the bed, the t.v. screen just a foot away from my eyes…I say a prayer for his soul, thanking him for all the good he has done…I pray a lot for his child, who is now without a father…and I start to cry and I don’t stop until there are no more tears to cry…"

There's a great discussion thread on the LiveNirvana forum (free registration) about Billy and how well he may have known Kurt at the time: www.livenirvana.com/forum/inde... I'm always looking for uncirculated Nirvana Video/Audio. If you taped Nirvana back in the day or happen to have any uncirculated Nirvana media please shoot me a message or email. Thx!

I shot this. Great editing job. Thank you! It is a masterpiece! The beauty of the show with the added camera angles and audio is magnificent.
Dude,...I just wanna say thank the fuck outta you for getting that ccamera in and doing it,...This was my first Pumpkins show, I was there that night too.
Was in the 6th grade and hadnt REALLYY heard much of them yet, My brother took me and I instantly fell in love with their sound,...I was just starting to pick up guitar at the time and knew right away who was going to be my main influence and still is to this day,...MUCH MUCH love for this find......
What camera was this shot with William??

Thank you! My first real concert. I was 14 and blew my mind!
Thank you. 💋
If anyone ever asks what the 90's were like(early 90's)tell them to go to 19:40 of this video. BTW - I was there in that mass of bouncing, angst filled teens! 18 and about to graduate. Depressed about Kurt, but The Pumpkins helped us all get through it. The last great era for rock music.
It was truly a different scene with nothing but energy. I've never felt a scene like the early 90s shows. Amazing time we witnessed.
@CajunRulez We're just about the same age. I would have just turned 17 when you were at this show. I don't know about you but I consider my high school years to be very transformational for my still developing mind.
The 90's were a great time to be alive (right on the edge of the internet era) and the music from the early part of that decade is, in my opinion, the best to ever be made. I was in high school from '91 to '95 when albums were being released such as Siamese Dream, Ten, Nevermind, Dirt, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Ill Communication, 40 oz. to Freedom, The Chronic, Rage Against The Machine, The Downward Spiral, Pablo Honey, Blind Melon, Nirvana Unplugged, etc. etc. etc. LEGENDARY, GAME CHANGING SH*T. There are so many more albums I could list (Dookie, Ritual de lo Habitual, Ready To Die, Achtung Baby....OK, I'll stop).
Anyway, now to get to what I wanted to say about your comment...I agree that the period we are discussing is currently the last great era for rock music. But it's only the "last great era" at this point. I do believe there will be other eras in the future that will be revolutionary for music. Right now, I'd say the early 90's and the late 60's/early 70's have been the most influential periods for rock music. And when I say this, I'm not dismissing the music from other eras. There is always great music being made. But there is not always music being made that changes the lives of listeners.
I had turned 18 five months before. My friends and I rented a van and were driving to the show from Washington, Louisiana. We heard the news about Kurt at a rest area we stopped at to get our heads right bc my friends gf wouldn’t let us in the van. We were all still in disbelief getting to the concert but when Billy mentioned it, it became real to me. I don’t remember much about the show tbh. Geek and Siva that’s about it. This brought back memories no doubt.
I'm somewhere over in front of D'Arcy trying not to get crushed for the first 5-6 songs.
There are a lot of us here on youtube. Yup, I was at this Biloxi show. Someone in the middle of the show, ten feet from the stage yelled "They found Kurt, he's dead." That's how I found out. Epic energy from the band and audience.
Was at this show. Still have my ticket stub. Didn't know Kurt had died until afterward, was wondering why Billy hardly spoke a word to the audience until they played Disarm and he said this is for Kurt...hard to believe it's been 25 years.
rimestamp? I listened to Disarm and did not hear him say this is for Kurt
In no part of the video did he say “This is for Kurt”.
I agree that it cannot be heard in the video, not sure if it was an audio drop or what, but I can assure he said something along those lines.
27 🙃
Omg I remember! I was there for that part of the tour because my brother was close friends with Jimmy and after a while they hired my brother to provide security for the gear, especially the guitars.
Basically he made sure the roadies didn’t steal shit. But yeah, I can confirm he said it. I knew the set list really well because it’s basically the same set as they did in the southern states. So I came out stage left to hear disarm. And that was my spring break as a kid, hanging with big bro and his friends the pumpkins.
I have many stories about them, Jimmy and my brother Thor were friends before they recorded Siamese Dream.
The place where Jimmy would sneak off to during recording Siamese dream was to Nashville with my brother.
He would pick him up in Atlanta and just get into trouble wherever they went. I never knew about the heroin until I got older. My brother said he was the upper and jimmy was the downer and drove to Atlanta and Nashville, sometimes stay in Chattanooga and back all the time. Jimmy was in my basement during one of those times like at 6am and that’s when I first met him. He mumbled I good taste because I had a REM Out of Time shirt on.
They were so wasted... I knew of Gish but I had no idea who I just met until later on.
I’ll never forget these experiences. My brother Thor told me everything about them as he did continued to do security for their gear and sometimes for them. I saw them record Mellon Collie one day even though it was exciting, it was boring as hell hearing a drum track played for 6 hours. I saw James overdubbing in one room and Billy and Jimmy tracking in another. They did like 30 songs just rockn away ideas while recording.
Anyway my brother became relatively sober and ended up helping Jimmy get sober and it made me understand at a young age that addiction was a disease.
Jimmy is an amazing soul, actually they all are and helped me peruse a writing career in music and Billy gave me their 16 track Tascam they did demos on.
Sorry for the ranting of stories, the fact Kurt died that day, it flooded so many memories of my life and “this is for Kurt” was said. I’ll try to find an audio archive.
A very intense show. A large tour by then, lots of energy and mixed emotions around the band and Cobain's death. Well, Corgan once said he was sort of close at the end of Kurt's life, cause he had been seing Courtney in early 94, so, he knew what went on. Great gig this one.
My first real concert. 14 yrs old. Went with a group of friends and my mind was blown! Started a life long love of live music. Excellent document of that occasion. RIP Kurt
Right on !
Same hear but had just turned 15 and from the Coast. Opening act was Red Red Meat whoever the hell that is
With how long they'd been on tour at this point and Kurt's death, you can understand Billy's attitude. I liked the rant in I Am One at 30:13 "D'arcy doesn't want you, dumb fuck."
I went to this show. It had a weird somber mood to it.
+antidote2k I did too,...Im from Mississippi and I was there, Totally agree on the weird feel in the air.
It also seemed like they werent really in the bad moods towards each other that they always were in the other 10 times I've seem them. Like they let the usual not really getting along go for this show and it shows in the performance and how good they sounded overaround.
One thing I always noticed in that they always normally ended the shows on the Siamese Dream tour with "Silverfuck", It was the longest, loudest and most intense song on the album and it always made a great show ender, Yet they chose to end it with an unknown tune from an album that wasnt out yet instead....
They knew in would be inappropriate due the Middle of "Silverfuck" where everything goes silent and Corgan repeats "Bang Bang,Your dead, Hole in your head. 4 times.
Justin Winan he probably had something to do with it
i was there too. I worked at a bar over in Panama City Beach Fl at the time. Did have an odd weird vibe all night.
M T maybe in honor of Kurt?
@@letmegivetheworld2u They played Starla at one of the shows I saw them at and it rocked. Of course, I knew it very well since it wasn't an unreleased song like it was in August '94. The track is probably like 10 minutes on the album but they must have gone on for like 20 when I saw them play it live. One of my favorite songs by them.
billy in a cardigan. nice touch.
"D'arcy doesn't want you, dumb fuck", hahaha, classic
I was at this show, and will never forget it. So glad to find this video here.
Rest In Peace and rock on Kurt Cobain
5:21 is so epic, the way the camera is zooming out wards and the flashing of the lights on corgan
I was at this show. I remember hearing about Kurt Cobain's death on the radio as we were leaving Baton Rouge to drive over to Biloxi for the show. I can hardly believe this was almost 30 years ago.
I still have the newspaper from that tragic day - i spent the night just watching unplugged and crying - it was a good thing green day came along when they did to cheer us all up soon after
Fuck green day. So gay
@@anthonywandowicz8084 immature..
My claim to fame is recorded in this video starting at 30:08. Billy was asking what do you want and I said I wanted to marry Darcy. He responded. I've been telling that story for years and then my buddy found that someone actually recorded and posted this!
Your claim to fame is being called a “piss ant, dumb f*ck?”
HAHA THAT’S SO CRAZY
So your the infamous "Dumbfuçk" of Corgan's rather blunt response. Just think man, if she'd have aççepted, and married you, her name would have been Darcy Dumbfuck. But seriously Corgan was being a prick that night, and to that I can only state for the reçord, fuck Billy Corgan for treating you that way, as it was a joke, and should have been taken that way. He was the one that fuçked Kurt Cobain's wife, not you.
I saw them a couple weeks before this in a gymnasium. This probably the closest I'll get to reliving that fantastic night. Thanks. '93-'94 was a special time.
This was the high water mark for the 90's, this moment in time was the pinnacle of A Great Rock Scene that put Art before Glamour.
Interesting that this is probably one of the few shows on the Siamese Dream tour where they didn’t play Silverfuck, probably out of respect for Courtney
what did silverfuck have to do with courtney?
Definitely out of respect for Kurt and Courtney. I was at this show.
Me and my friends were driving to this show when the news came over the radio. Definitely gave the concert an odd feeling.
Thank you alternative copperpot5 for all the work you do to take us back in time and be able to watch shows that we otherwise would not of got to see, and enjoy. And for taking the time to splice and dice the sound and vision part and whatever else magic you do..I appreciate all your time and work into this and all your other ones.
Thank you so much for all these quality extremely rare videos of my favorite bands.
THIS IS A GEM
Thanks for sharing.
This is epic. Sad day, but immense show!
Sound quality is great
This is the epitome of badassery. I love this era of their music, studio and live! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video.
perfect set list
Insane vibe and energy!! SP ❤️ forever...
Thank you Copperpot5!
Remember when people went to concerts to rock out instead of standing around with their mobile phones in the air all night....? Good times.
I was there. Group of 20 of us on a shitpot quantity of shrooms. It was great.
Coolest fucking band ever.
There's something really special and melancholic about them playing mayonaise on the same day Kurt Cobain was found.
Mayonnaise and Starla stand out to me. What a Juggernaut of songs and sound
i love the pumpkins
lol, i dunno why but Mayonaise reminds me of Radiohead's Lift, both great songs btw
Considering “lift” came out in 97, perhaps Radiohead lifted it from “mayonnaise.” I’m sorry I just think it’s weird when people say an earlier song “reminds” them of a later song.
Man this is one of the best SP concert
I was at this concert, crazy to hear Kurt's death before social media was a thing
10:45 i agree with the guy in my right ear
Hummer should always sound like this
My home state. Awesome.
It's hard to deduce whether or not Billy had heard the news of Kurt's suicide before this show, his journal entry describes a five hour bus ride right after a show, but by online records of this tour there was no show on April 7th, so the bus ride could have been after this show (from Biloxi to Tallahassee). OTOH, he describes the sea air like he first encountered it after a while, as if he arrived to Biloxi that morning, and got the news there. Also, I don't know at what time did the news break on the west coast, and would it add up to being woken up during the day with the news.
😿😿 que boni 💕
Billy's Starla solo...
I was there!
Me too!
Holy shit, I was at this show! 😮
I didn’t realize they did a show there! I live an hour away in Mobile!
Yep! They did! And I was there! Also, I live in Mobile too.
I was at this show. I lived in Pascagoula. Saw Nirvana in New Orleans as well on Dec 3, 1993. I go to Mobile often.
Saw them last year and all I could think about is how I could have saved the money and stayed home to watch this and other 1994 concerts here. The guitars, drums everything sound so much better. At the show, the leads sounded bigger than the rhythm guitars. The gain was turned down on the rhythm guitars for some reason too.
They haven't sounded as good since 2018 when James came back
@@travistravinyle4207 I heard it sounds better now than in 2018 though, but I haven't been to any since 2015
Corgan, Iha reunited!
Cobain's death and the cringy grunge legacy with all key figures just being reflections of him just infuriates me. I mean I am probably a bigger Nirvana fan than any other band I love, but how that came to be while all these other great artists went on in his shadow is just so wrong. Someone I have massive awe and respect for because of this is the guitarist Dylan Carlson, look him up. Billy Corgan is one of the few people who at least tried not to become too self aware post grunge and just went with the flow. I know he's quite nutty but such a creative heart.
"For 27 years I have lived with pain in my HEART! You need a one way ticket....." 29:05 feel like this was a reference to Kurt...but to be fair...Billy had just turned 27 the month before.
I was at this show. I was 20.
Me too. I was 21.
Mayonnaise
Song of the 90’s
30:15
I was there! can you hear me?
The day kurt Cobain died
Not the day kurt died, actually the day kurt found dead, he was died in 5 april 1994.
Actually the day that he was discovered dead, but he'd died several days prior to being found.
Did they always open with Soma on this tour, or do you think they did it because of Kurt?
Not very often but I've seen at least one more show from this era that starts off with that track
The Smashing Pumpkins - Full Concert - 04/27/94 - Fillmore Auditorium
ruclips.net/video/M3s02WuWMt0/видео.html
There you go my fellow fan
I looked up the setlists....they opened with Soma 6 days earlier in Texas. So no.....would have been cool gesture but they were doing it anyways at times back then.
I got like 7 adds, not very cash money..or maybe it is?
How much would have tickets cost for a show like this back then?
TakeSomeAdvice 20- 30
25 or 30 tops like previous comment
About $22
$18 - $22
Tickets were $19.99
Billy wearing a cardigan as a tribute, perhaps
I think you're reaching there...
April 8th, 1994? The news of Kurt was on this day.
Right, that's what the title of the video says.
Kurt died on Tuesday the 5th. Friday the 8th was Courtney's 'press conference' for her new album coming out Tuesday the 12th, where she had the audacity to read his suicide note...so she could promote her widow status to help sell her record and build herself a reputation. That was the day that everyone outside of Seattle heard the sad news.
I need an excederin
Kurt cobain died for somebody's sins but not mine!
+UnderRottingSky thanks patti
Interesting. .
UnderRottingSky Hopper quote!
Fantastic video but poor audio .
Huh? Captured the crowd and the reverb. Great audio for a none soundboard.
Try to find another video shot on Hi-8 with better audio. And it’s not through the soundboard. You’re crazy if you think it can get any better.
@@alanhinkel4670 Calm down, it is what it is. Whether it's Hi-8 or whatever, it's still poor quality. So don't try to tell me some bullshit. The audio is just pathetic and it's too bad. What that may be due to is obsolete because the audio quality remains poor.
@@Staffellaker you're insane lol
@@fictionsdomearchiveshit4055 Hahaha, not nearly as much as you
I was there!
