Just my authentic Mashed Potatoes boxset, I don’t really have anything else that’d fit the description.
[/quote:wl1ma8qu]Well, well, well…
I think you got everyone beat!
i already searched for other bootlegs here, and it looks like i have three different sources for this show, although i think one is an audience recording, so not interesting in this case.[/quote:3axd7xa3]
how do you find other sources so fast? where do these exist?
Sure thing. Mi musica es su musica.
However, by the honor system, please keep this to fellow freaks, and if outside freakdom, to trusted individuals. I don’t know that these are of any significant higher quality (my initial guess is no), but if they are, it would be nice to be able to share them with other people who are into collecting the highest quality live shows.
I am not so much into live shows (as most of you know), but I am into rare as hell Delabel promos.
I really do hope the quality is better, to at least justify what I dropped on the CDs. If not, oh well, I still think they are awesome.
Speaking of which (kinda), spfc.org still says that the Machina II in-house acetates are not legitimate. Anyone have proof of their authenticity? UK or US set?
you can upload files to http://www.mediafire.com and then share the link with the proper people. you don’t need an account to upload files. maximum file size there is 100 mb.
i’m sorry, but i won’t have time to compare with the other sources until after the weekend. and next week i’m quite busy too. i already searched for other bootlegs here, and it looks like i have three different sources for this show, although i think one is an audience recording, so not interesting in this case.[/quote:3gn6jps9]
I’m uploading the first disc now. 10 tracks, 265 MBs!!!! Gonna take some time.
Hey thanks Arthur! That was relatively easy.
I’ve now ripped both CDs as FLAC files. They are very large. How do I get these to the proper people?[/quote:2efo2nf0]
You don’t have a fast internet connection, right? Hmmm… If you had, http://www.yousendit.com could provide a solution for that. But just 1 example file to me, and I will send it onwards might work also. Or otherwise burn both 2 cds on cd-r and send them to me in my Xmas box?[/quote:2efo2nf0]
No, I took care of that Arthur. Broadband now!

Mine is the Untitled CD that the band released through Q101. 3 copies in existence and I have one! Whoohoo!
What is yours?[/quote:3a8pzzio]
Mine is the Untitled Internal use promo,also 3 copies existence….But manillascissor,is mine the same as yours ?
Wondering cus you mention the band released through Q101[/quote:3a8pzzio]No, these are different. Yours was released through Virgin/Hut, and mine was pressed by Q101 as a contest giveaway. Same song though, mix-wise.
Slapping self for having not uploaded yet. *SLAP*
Which songs are missing?
This is really important because after listening, they (Smashing Pumpkins) performed a sort of medley during an encore that involved Drown, Porcelina, Rocket, just from memory. What I’m saying is, the tracklist that is listed by Delabel isn’t complete. There are more songs on the CDs.
Yes, thanks.
I also tried to enhance the edges and other stuff but I didn’t get too good result.
I was sort of in a hurry when I got to photo my vinyl.
I have made a doc-file from the information available from spfc.org.
For my own sake I made it. Now I can get in to the document and "redmark" all the records that I own.
If somebody is interested in it (a clean version) I can make it available.
Here is my collection. Most of it anyway. Some of the items I got is not listed, yet.
I haven’t edited the newest information (Zeitgeist for example)http://www.iha.nu/Filer/SP_discography_ … 20Egen.doc
The file is about 15-16 Mb
If somebody want to correct my link above, please. doesn’t seem to work.[/quote:1idkhncu]
I don’t understand…looks like you own everything listed on spfc.org?
I believe that’s referred to as a misprint. Making your set quite strange, odd, and rare.
Value wise???? Not a big deal, really. To me anyway.
BUT, having said that, please submit scans and continue to post here. WELCOME!
Phewie, how Billy changes in different lighting.
But seriously, I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh-woh-oh-oh.[/quote:3fv3em4b]
What’s truly ironic?
But Seriously is the name of a Phil Collins album.
Still problems with swallowing food and drinks, and some fever though.[/quote:3jc80s7e]
get well soon!have you tried eating some ice cream before eating or drinking anything else? i did that when my throat hurt so much that i couldn’t swallow without dying of pain and it helped a lot. the cold of the ice cream numbed it for a while.
also, ice cream is yummy.
[/quote:3jc80s7e]cool as, ….. you?
June 23, 2008 – SP.com article: From Sven
Hasselt, Belgium, august 1995. It’s a hot summer day. The Melvins have been on, as have Kyuss, Silverchair and Hole. As the sun sets it’s time to make my way to the front. My friends and I manage to get right in front of the stage, several rows from the barrier. Mere minutes later I find myself in a ferocious mosh pit. A thundering metal riff blasts from the PA. \"Welcome to nowhere fast…\". I hear chards of lyrics – \"God is empty, just like me\" – as I struggle to stay upright…
Cut to: Landgraaf, The Netherlands, June 1998, backstage, next to a tourbus. My then-girlfriend and I are talking to Kenny and Mike. \"There comes Elvis,\" so says Kenny and Billy walks up to us. He signs my ‘Adore’ album (\"That doesn’t come out until tomorrow here, officially, does it?\"). It won’t be the last time we meet. Or for Billy to have a reaction of surprise.
Next scene: Kink FM Radio Studios, Hilversum, The Netherlands, 2000. Two fellow fans help me present a six hour radio show on prime time Dutch national radio solely dedicated to The Smashing Pumpkins. We play well-known favorites and obscure or really early songs and premiere the just leaked Machina II on the air.
A sports arena in Hamburg, Germany, 2000. American fan Eric has told the band about our ‘Night of The Smashing Pumpkins’. And Billy wants to meet the \"Dutch radio guys\" after the show. When we show him the playlist more than once he points out songs he can’t believe we played on the air or he wants to know more about. The following tour stop in Rotterdam some of these recordings have been burned to cdr and are given back to Billy – amongst these an alternate version of the Singles soundtrack inclusion ‘Drown’.
On a freezing night in Chicago some months later, the \"Dutch radio guys\" find themselves outside of Metro after a smashing farewell show and a great after party; cradling their yellow Tower Records bags containing the Rose litho and CR-05 cd. Meanwhile – back at the hotel – a tape entitled ‘Gish/Moon’ is stored in the safe. The curtain has dropped, but the very first recorded song by The Smashing Pumpkins has just been added to my collection.
Eight years later The Smashing Pumpkins are back in action. In the meantime I’ve seen the rise and fall of Zwan unfold and followed the solo paths for Billy, Jimmy, Melissa and James. But nothing can beat the anticipation in the air of the small, stunningly beautiful art nouveau theater Le Grand Rex in Paris, France right before the lights go down and screams drown out the opening riffs of ‘United States’.
From 1994 to 2008 I’ve closely followed The Smashing Pumpkins and have attended numerous shows. Early on always with my dear friend Remco who cannot be left unmentioned as he turned me on to the band in the first place. And with Erik who was the first to produce lists of bootlegs and releases found online. And that’s where things went horribly wrong as that was the start of a massive collecting spree. At one of the first Record Fair attended I met Jeroen, a fellow collector, who’d go on to be one of the \"Dutch radio guys\", together with Vincent, the main man of the Dutch Smashing Pumpkins email newsletter group.
Years and years of collecting releases, trading live shows, taping myself and above all researching the early years with the help and co-operation of fellow fans across the world gems were unearthed and made their way into my collection.
Years and years of collecting later, another Dutch guy Arthur was working on http://www.spfreaks.com and asked me if could pitch in with information, advise and more. Sure could, sure would.
It’s this research and collecting knowledge I am going to share with you in my upcoming pieces for this website. Expect a lot on the early years, unreleased songs, demo’s, special live shows from way back when and interesting releases or memorabilia from all over the world. You might be in for a pleasant surprise. As was Billy as he seems to have lost the recording still safely stored here in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Currently playing: The Smashing Pumpkins – I Fall (‘Gish/Moon’)

well, wait no longer.
they are now revealing themselves.
http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_4017[/quote:1g99bfah]wow, hack is a [tool]….
What sucks though?
This means they will release demos from early cassettes that everyone already has. Oh well. Still kinda cool.
