Movie Reviews of Smashing Pumpkins: Vieuphoria Live
Movie Review: Smashing DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank god they released this on DVD, my VHS tape was wearing out, and sadly the box was crushed over the 7 or so years I've had it. This DVD is worth getting if you love the pumpkins from the early years (Gish-Siamese Era), which yes, I DO LOVE! You get to see an awesome acoustic version of "Cherub Rock", nessled against a hard rock full distortion version of one of the pumpkins biggest hits "Disarm" on UK TV, in full trippy british tv color! Other hilights include "I Am One" live in Spain, where Billy goes on a full out rant "GIMME GIMME GIMME GET GET NOTHING", and my favorite is "Slunk" on Japanese tv from 1992 - the band jokes around with the Japanese hosts, then busts out in full out RAWK power with Slunk. Nothing but raw emotion here. "Mayonaise" is another gem, done acoustically outdoors infront of a small crowd, mixed with old and new footage of the band.. its rather touching and one of my favorite moments on the DVD. I also love "Soma", which is a beautiful song in and of itself, but to see live.. is just.. amazing. The DVD is better than the VHS version because they tacked on the "Lost Tapes" from 1994, which were recorded during the Lollapalooza shows of 1994. Another favorite part is "Silverf***" live in London - which is just a great ending to the DVD... Billy really gets into it and at the end totally destroys Jimmy's drumkit and falls all over the stage. The only drawback on this DVD is that during "Silverf***" when Billy sings "Over the Rainbow" (I believe it is only in the Lost Tapes section.. it might also be in the verison live in London) the sound cuts out, because I guess the band didn't have the rights to the song to have it reproduced on the DVD.. which is kind of crappy because you know what he's saying anyway. A great DVD for any pumpkins fan, this is still my favorite era of the band, they were young, with such raw emotion and so much to say, I'll always love the Pumpkins but this is just the best.OH- and of course this DVD captures the band's quirky and funny spirit with "therapy sessions"- which features Jimmy (and other bandmates) working out his frustrations by talking to.. a porcelain duck! There are a lot of other funny moments on the dvd- it just captures the bands' spirit totally!
