Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! It makes this project worth it! Sweaty, I also want to know what song you requested!
I was happy to hear Mayonaise period when I finally saw them!

So back to this absolutely smashing thread!
The Smashing Pumpkins Live '88
Their is some great live footage of the Pumpkins as far back as '88! The following is an archived collection of footage inexplicably called:
The Psycho Tapes
My Eternity
(I love Billy in this! I think he puts on his best Jim Morrison in this! I don't see this song as having made it into the studio)
Jennifer Ever
(the guitar in this is simple but I really like it)
Nothing and Everything
(some cool guitar shredding as opposed to the prior gloomy sound)
There It Goes
(Just like in the studio version it ends in an awesome guitar solo)
She
^^^^
Something I read that really clicks is that the guitar resembles Tonight, Tonight! See if you can hear it better in this crisper audio below!
She
(Tonight, Tonight The Prequel?)

I always love it when Billy Corgan plays with Cheap Trick....I get a big bang out of it.
Here he dresses as Rick and plays one of Rick's guitars.

Early '88 Smashing Pumpkins Interview
This was a very basic interview for radio station WNUR! Some things that stand out is how fresh Jimmy was at the time as he was introduced as "Jimmy isn't here right now! We have a drummer now!" Also, they talked of recording a demo for Elektra which apparently fell through! The Pumpkins were a very humble band just soaking in the life of a growing band at the time!

The are the bands that the Pumpkins were opening for at the time were The Swinging Dicks, The Crows and opening for these guys:
Janes Addiction

Thank you MP! I knew Corgan was a fan as he was a fanboy of so many great acts in general but I'd never seen that video before! It was epic especially starting at the 4:15 mark! A funny note is that James Iha is in the band Tinted Windows with Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos!
