ArthurSpectatorWell, we know the concept of the SPfreaks’ Live Compilation by now, right? For those that don’t know anymore:
From every year since 1988 a Smashing Pumpkins live song around a theme. Previous theme was \"Epic\". Theme now will be \"Metal\". Ideas for next themes: \"American Gothic Rock Ballad\" or \"Love & Hate\" or \"Covers\". You get the idea?
Metal. What mind-blowing, ear-blazing, adrenaline-pushing & full-of-billy-screams-and-guitar-shredding live songs should be included in this next compilation? Bring in your ideas, and I will look for the best recordings of that song available. Then I’ll create some CD artwork again, and make it all conveniently available for download in February 2009, half a year after \"SPfreaks’ Epic Live Compilation\".
Fasten your seatbelts for SPfreaks’ Metal Live Compilation!

ArthurSpectatorThat’s just a tease of 15-20 seconds only… I think James Iha is singing, and it’s not uhmmmm… his best voice that day.
Funny thing is, I remember that 12-12-1995 Amsterdam concert VERY well, as I forgot to buy tickets for that concert (soooo sorry afterwards!), and instead I listened to it on the radio. It was broadcast live. I still have the tape of that recording!

ArthurSpectatorhave they ever done Tales Of A Scorched Earth live?[/quote:2xxnvq3r]
Yes, as part of the Silverfuck medley on 1996-09-17, at Madison Square Garden, New York City. If I’m right, Billy was not overly impressed with his capacities to do this song live, so he never played it live again. Again, if memory serves me well… -

quiet rules! its got an awesome speed metal solo and so does an ode to know one. id’e also throw in maybe geek usa, the aeroplane flies high, superchrist!, the everlasting gaze, and united states, other than the ones already mentioned.

heheAnd I’m quite sure most of these suggested songs will appear on this compilation too. I think I will do more then 1 song per year, to cover all you guys wishes, as all other suggestions are very good too!

ArthurSpectatorSetlist has been made for 95%, so expect a handful of early rarities, even more metal live killers you wished they played every concert, and a spectacular blow out of this compilation… Meanwhile, here’s a sneak preview of the artwork…

2009.02.11 at 11:03 pm #29561
ArthurSpectatorTracklist finalized…
Artwork finished…
ZIP file with all MP3s is being uploaded as we speak… takes another hour… counting down…Meanwhile let me tell you how I came to the tracklist of this compilation, and where they were recorded.
01. C’mon 04:54 1988/00/00 (taken from the Ignoffo tape)
First I choose 6234 to kick off this compilation, as it is a rare early live track, but somehow it didn’t feel right, as it is not that \"metal\". So from the famous Ignoffo tape I took another rarity that REALLY rocked (it is also known as C’mon Motherfucker, do I need to say more?)! But yes, it was recorded in a studio… well, who cares, right?02. Spiteface 05:25 1989/03/16 WZRD-FM Studios, Chicago (US)
The full recording of this radio show is one of my favourite early recordings. Spiteface kicks ass!03. Godzilla 05:48 1990 unknown venue (taken from Mashed Potatoes) (US)
Smashing Pumpkins played a really rockin’ Godzilla quite a few times in the early days, but the version from Mashed Potatoes is one of the best recordings, if you ask me. Couldn’t be missed on this compilation!04. STP 03:38 1991/11/02 Memorial Auditorium, Burlington (US)
Another early rarity, I wanted it on here badly.05. Slunk 02:36 1992/01/20 Melkweg, Amsterdam (NL)
Nobody asked for Slunk, but it’s one of my favourite early Smashing Pumpkins rockers, so I wanted my ego to be pleased on this complation, hehehehe… The recording was done by VPRO radio, so expect a decent quality MP3.06. Quiet 03:47 1993/12/01 Palladium, Toronto (CA)
Needs no introduction I guess. Was asked for, say no more.07. I Am One 07:00 1994/02/26 Astoria Theater, London (UK)
The rant version of I Am One couldn’t be missed, although we know it from Earphoria also. But this is the cool MTV recording version, definately worthwhile a listen!08. Geek U.S.A. 05:38 1995/10/23 Riviera Theater, Chicago (US)
From the release party of the million selling album Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness…09. X.Y.U. 10:12 1996/04/15 Arena, Berlin (DE)
10. Bodies 04:03 1996/04/15 Arena, Berlin (DE)
2 metal rockers from a rather decent audience recorded bootie: The Berlin Bullet. Listen to Billy being silly in X.Y.U.!11. Zero 02:19 1997/01/08 GM Place, Vancouver (CA)
12. Fuck You (An Ode To No One) 05:01 1997/01/08 GM Place, Vancouver (CA)
The GM Place concert is world famous in the Pumpkins community. Couldn’t be missed. I love how they did Zero here, with this little extra guitarsound that pops up in the song a few times…13. Bullet With Butterfly Wings 07:02 1998/05/28 Botanique Gardens, Brussels (BE)
Live favourite, I had no reason to leave it off this compilation… But I took a little different version, hope you like it!14. Cash Car Star 03:45 1999/04/21 Celebrity Theatre, Phoenix (US)
It was hard to choose a decent rocker from 1999, as not many concerts were given, let alone recorded. Hope you can agree on my choice…15. The Everlasting Gaze 03:54 2000/01/07 Cirkus, Stockholm (SE)
16. Rock On 06:04 2000/01/07 Cirkus, Stockholm (SE)
Again 2 songs from a decent radio recording, and since I like Rock On, I thought I had to add it too…17. Glamey Glamay 04:08 2000/04/00 (taken from Billy’s Gravity Demos)
I just had to put the rockin’ Marquis In Spades on the compilation, but I could only find a studio version, that was called Glamey Glamay in the early days. Well, hope you like it, it is a rarity anyway!18. United States 10:50 2007/06/02 Rock Am Ring Festival, Nurnberg (DE)
The Pumpkins return with a blow in 2007!19. Superchrist 06:14 2008/02/15 MEN Arena, Manchester (UK)
Couldn’t be missed, right? It rocks, it shows the Pumpkins attitude \"don’t want to listen? we’ll make you listen!\"20. Speed Kills 05:22 2008/10/31 Newport Music Hall, Columbus (US)
21. As Rome Burns 03:47 2008/10/31 Newport Music Hall, Columbus (US)
22. The Sound Of Silence incl. Lil’ Red Riding Hood 09:31 2008/10/31 Newport Music Hall, Columbus (US)
23. Heavy Metal Machine + Glass’ Theme 15:09 2008/10/31 Newport Music Hall, Columbus (US)
4 songs from the 20th Anniversary Tour, this should make everybody happy I guess. We start with a metal ballad, then the compilation keeps on rockin’ and rockin’ and rockin’ for another half an hour, almost…\"We ain’t fuckin’ dead yet!\"
Enjoy guys, it was fun making this set again! Here is the download, see you next time!

SvenSpectatorgood work!

all the comps have been way cool!!!!now!
ok Arthur- since there’s gonna be a listening party of some kind at my place—-
not anywhere very soon as I’m too busy, but still; it will be in a few weeks’ timehow about an \"avant-garde\" comp????
Compiling all the WTF songs TSP did?
Or not all – but well, you know; a selection—-
As they’ve done many and I’m not pointing towards covers or anything live now….
Just from the basic catalogue there’s enough stuff there to fill quite a nice comp….
Don’t you think???So Arthur-
Add that one to the TO DO list at the listening party ))
Another must-do is listening through some gems on the new turntable…
Plus plus plus….
We will work it out!!!
I just can’t wait in a way-
But let’s set a date firstDon’t worry all of you—
I guess from this session Arthur and I and the rest will come up with some cool plans for future comps, won’t we Arthur????So-
Deal? -

Deal. Sounds like a cool plan.And thanks everybody for the compliments. It’s a fine compilation again indeed!
(Sometimes I wished I was Billy Corgan his Media Advisor, so we could decide together what to release when… It would double up the # of releases, AND triple the quality of it! Hehe, kidding!)
Hope you enjoy this one again, and someday I’ll create another one I’m sure. Might take a few months again, as it is quite a job, and my free time is scarce lately, as I’m living together now for almost 6 months…
