Agreed. Coming from someone whose played guitar their whole lives and has been influenced by all the greats. I put Billy Corgan up there with the likes of Hendrix, Satriani, Van Halen, and Chuck Berry. Billy Corgan could arguably be the Greatest. (In fact I would argue that point)
I absolutely love this song; I kinda wish there was a studio version, but this live performance seems perfect so I wouldn't want it spoilt by a studio/demo track.
@drevpile And what exactly would the "real" Pumpkins be? Iha with his 3 songs per year or D'Arcy with her... her... I dont' know, her blonde hair? Jimmy was a real asset, and absolutely important for the early Pumpkin sound, but the other two were never that decisive.
Terrible audio quality =/

This song should have been on Gish. That outro guitar solo is some of the best lead guitar I've ever heard. Corgan was a guitar god.

you can hear how the interlude section might have been a pre-cursor to the idea that would become the quiet section in "Silverfuck"!
