Smashing Pumpkins

Ok, time for a throwback into the mainstream. This 1993 acoustic performance of "cherub rock" is honestly a gem. I have always been more drawn to the Pumpkins more subdued (though no less passionate) side, so naturally, an acoustic version of cherub rock is truly a fusion of the best of these two faces of their music- harnessing the raw, layered, electric passion (which is sometimes overwhelming for me) and condensing it into an acoustic set. You can really see the intricacies of Corgan's guitar work too. And I'll throw in "1979" too because the video is so good.
