The magic of this song is that it was instant euphoria and nostalgia when I first heard it in 95’ in college. Now in 2022 the nostalgia and longing I feel when I listen to this song is to relive the 90s when my life was full of ambition and youth. Simply one of the greatest songs ever written.
My first ever Pumpkins gig. Went tripping. Idiocy! But my memory of it is as crystal clear as this HD version here .A band opening for themselves was the most amazing thing I'd ever witnessed. Hahaha First time I'd noticed D'Arcy too. She was as much a revelation as Jimmy's drum orchestra!
@@donnyblondy8506 funny.. .if you had said the 90s I keep quiet you said of all time. That simply isn't true. My opinion might stink yours smells like ass. I would be surprised if this a top 100 song all time.
@@sebastianmatarelli5602 4sure! I turned 16 in Aug. '79, 1of those in=betweeners [too young for baby boomer, born b4 Gen.X started] and that is the beauty & genius of this song - it ''feels'' like the atmosphere of the '70s, yet it was born in the dark waves of the '90s grunge rock revival. Believe me, it's a cool joy to have ridden both those waves of sound!
growing up in the 70s & experiencing those nostalgic feelings in the 90s, knowing EXACTLY what he was talking about in our late twenties.. and still feeling it in our fifties.
Shakedown 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet Junebug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slipping dues down to see That we don't even care as restless as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement, lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope Justine never knew the rules, Hung down with the freaks and ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it to see That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
Great performance!!! Acoustic and lovely harmonies! One of my favs from childhood!! Still amazing! Sad these newer generations aren’t growing up to such amazing and real music…
Why am I sad to see this, yes because I miss being able to watch concerts again, jumping around together, and screaming and having fun together.. without gadgets and without worrying about viruses
È proprio una grande corsa incontro alla vita , che ti vuole lasciare indietro e solo in un ricordo e tu ...dici NO , ti porto con me in questa canzone ... grazie S P ...
Strange story...back in 96 saw the RHCP's in L.A...after the show we went to a Hollywood Bar- Restaurant called Jones where a lot of grunge/alternative musical bands hung out...me and girlfriend were having dinner and who walks in Anthony Kiedis and Jimmy Chamberlain...a few minutes later Jimmy Chamberlain comes up to us and asks if he can sit with us until his party arrives...said okay...he was really quiet two minutes later out pizza comes and he asks if he can have a slice...lol we saw um okay ..then he said thanks and went to sit with his buddies...years later I read he was on drugs back then which kinda made sense..love the 90s good times

today people spend millions of dollars trying to capture feeling like this. but you can't buy feeling. in fact the more you try, the less feeling there is. it's like being cool, the more you try, the less cool you are.
A song about nostalgia for the late 70s that makes everyone nostalgic for the 90s...Timeless classic...
definitely......give me back c.1994 anyday :-)
It's exactly that for me! Cheers.
Like a time machine
Wow. Your comment sums up every feeling we all have when we listen to this ....those of us who know and remember. Well said!
🙂
With Billy Corgan, D'arcy Wretzky, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin, the core original lineup.

I'm 67 and I love this Song, don't ever think you can't love music that's not from your Generation 💖
Jimmy is one of the most underrated drummers around. Dude was a machine
machines wish they were jimmy chamberlin bro
i’d say top 5, but i’ll be killed for this lol 😂
What makes you believe he's underrated?
Bro in Tonight…Tonight he absolutely killed it….
But everything is underrated now so he's OK.
Never ending Masterpiece...2021 anyone?
here
Yup.
Yo!!!!
Yes
Here. June 2021.
Graduated HS in 1979, and the first time I heard this song I said to myself, 'Oh, whoever wrote this must have been there too.'
"we were sure we'd never see an end to it all." poor naive youth we all were.
Now that's a truth.
It’s true of all youth all throughout all of history. Youth is wasted on the young.
Cuts close to the bone. I’d give anything to be 15 again, with the wisdom I have now!!!

Spot on.....like Happy Days on TV, in 70s: 50s nostalgia is now 70s nostalgia!
Agree absolutely. I think future historians will recognize Billy Corgan one of the greatest songwriters, across all genres, America ever produced.
me too ❤
When this song came out back in the day, it already felt nostalgic. But 20 plus years later it feels exactly the same..crazy
Never gets old. I love Darcy.
My first ever Pumpkins gig. Went tripping. Idiocy! But my memory of it is as crystal clear as this HD version here .A band opening for themselves was the most amazing thing I'd ever witnessed. Hahaha First time I'd noticed D'Arcy too. She was as much a revelation as Jimmy's drum orchestra!
Was there another band afterwards?
What a way to put it in about the D'Arcy and Jimmy's drum orchestra
One of the most beautiful and nostalgic songs ever written. Corgan's are so wise.
This 4 were the best and irreplaceable they had the chemistry the looks the name and the voice this 4 forever will remain in hearts.
D'Arcy's backvocal so mystical.
definitely one of the top 20 rock songs of all time!
yes 100%
You are way too young if you really think that. It is an amazing song. Top 20 all time....no.
@@parabellum5503 guess you have no ear for music then

@@parabellum5503 ok
Awesome version. Jimmy Chamberlin cranking it out like a human metronome!
What's better: Growing up during the 70's experiencing what this song is about, or growing up in the 90's listening to this song?
i take the latter :->
older gen x-ers got to experience both. early childhood in the 70s with their twenties landing in the 90s.

How 'bout growing up in the 50's and digging it from the 90's to now???

one of the great songs of all-time..... thank you Billy and band
I never really liked this song when I was young. Now I can’t get enough of it. Great song and a great rendition.
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double-cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slipping dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around
wow!! awesome quality! best version ever!!
This song mad me feel nostalgic at 17 years old for the life I was currently living
Can't explain how much and why I love this song because you all know why!
Jimmy in shorts with dress shirt love it
Actually it’s pajamas, they’re all wearing pj’s!!!
Great performance!!! Acoustic and lovely harmonies! One of my favs from childhood!! Still amazing! Sad these newer generations aren’t growing up to such amazing and real music…
They belong in the rock and roll hall of Fame!!
Nah their later albums not great. I loved the first 4 then they lost their sound.
The chorus and the bridge sound specially enormous in this version
Some of the best lyrics ever written
Best version ive heard.
This is excellent, I'm loving these acoustic versions you are posting, thanks. 🙂 Also we can SEE and HEAR Darcy singing harmonies for once, excellent.
thank you so much THIS IS REALLY GREAT. Miss This kind of songs from billy
Thanks so much for the upload. Never thought I would ever see this one again. Such a cool version. Got to love you tube.
Why am I sad to see this, yes because I miss being able to watch concerts again, jumping around together, and screaming and having fun together.. without gadgets and without worrying about viruses

La mejor canción de esta banda: 1979🎸🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
MASTERPIECE SONG !
I love how Darcy's swinging her leg in the beginning lol
She probably hasn't got her shot of crack for the day...
They haven’t been the same without her
I love how D’arcy exists
@@junobanda Gottem :(
I love d'arcy. And her leg.
Awesome Song
Hear it in 2020 and still kicks hard!
Oh man... its so clear!
i love you D´arcy
Funny how rock bands at the time get so soft when it comes time for acoustics. Beautiful
Dove sono oggi i gruppi rock di quegli anni?...oggi sono tutti ft estivi che durano un anno ..
from 1979 to 2018 !
Thanks to Chrome YT loop extension, I've had this on play all night.
One of the most under rated altrenative song of the 90's!!!!
Omg. Love it!
What a great performance
Muito legal ver a galera curtindo!
rocking this in 2023 baby on and on!
HERMOSA CANCION. PROFUNDA.
a classic and ever time song. 1979 rules
No iPhones in the audience, and everyone is completely enjoying the music.
what's funny is if you go to concerts now the old people are just as bad with their phones
You can still record your experience for future memories and enjoy the music in the moment. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Masterpiece
masterpiece👌
