    This is the lick, and the ensuing chaos, that blew my mind in 1992 when I first heard it, and made me want to be a better drummer. Freakin' Jimmy man!

      Yes, he is one of my favorite guitar players, but I am one was a little much. Unfortunately, his vocals are much more Miss than hit this is another example. They are one of my favorite bands, but his vocals are quite often unlistenable on these live videos.

      I like seeing how much appreciation Jimmy gets in comment sections. As a lifelong drummer and Pumpkins fans, I didn't realize how many people were fans of his playing until I started watching old Smashing Pumpkins recordings and scrolling through the comments. I had always thought he was a more underrated and lesser known drummer, but I'm glad I was wrong lol.

      I was at the album release party for Gish at metro. Think this was a little early. Loved the 90s metro and Smart Bar. It was crazy to see the bands we saw in such a small venue and the sound on this recording does do it justice. The acoustics in that room were perfect.

      The first I heard of the pumpkins was from a concert review in a guitar magazine in '92. Believe it or not, that's how we used to learn about new music.😉 A few months later, while working and listening to the local college radio station, Gish was played in it's entirety. I was floored and bought the cassette immediately. 😆 I then received the CD for Christmas that year along with a new CD boombox and several other great discs at the time. But, I do also remember telling people to remember the name. Some of us knew for sure 👍

    This is the Pumpkins I want to remember! Billy with hair. Darcy with her long blond mane.
    And they just overpowered everyone with Jimmy on drums.
    He drove the songs into your skull! As a result they were more powerful than the other bands around.
    And the songs were good!
    Thanks for uploading this great early show!
