Smashing Pumpkins ROTTEN APPLES LIVE @ the Orange Peel

From my blog,
www.ourshadowswillremain.blogspot.com :

Here's a video of Billy Corgan performing "Rotten Apples" for only the 2nd time in the band's history. Billy played it solo acoustic Wed June 27th at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC. Before he began the song, Corgan said he had never played the song in concert. However, he did perform it at the KROQ Christmas show in '98. (Thanks to "ckv" for the heads up.)

Were you over by the bar about three quarters of the way back?  It seems your perspective was very similar to mine.

I was standing very close to the bar. I stood right beside the sound/light person's table at the back of the room. It was the first show I caught at the Orange Peel but it wont be the last!

WTF the crowd wasn't even listening

[JBrugger1080]

haha I just realized that he screwed up the lyrics in one of the verses at 1:36 and had to make up something

[MisterMisanthropy]

I like the recording, it sounds softer. even though you can tell the strings on the recording are keyboards it's still awesome.

[JBrugger1080]

the original version is fucking tight. It has a strings part and its slower. Very good song

thx Dude! I know, but I asked for the chords. I like the original one as well.

[benski81]

this song is by the good old smashing pumpkins, dude. it was a b-side to mellon collie. the original is a lot more interesting guitar-wise. get it.

[smashdepmet]

can anyone post the chords to this brilliant song? It would be really great. this song reminds me of the good old smashing times in the 90s:( Im sad that the 90s ended...

i was At That 1998 Show. Of Course Orange Peel meant more ;)

[mistyllspoetry]

Most people at the show didn't dance or jump around much. I was at the 24th show. Most people just wanted to see them and video tape but it was crowded too like shoulder to shoulder. It is weird that people are talking during this video though.

billy played "rotten apples" in his 1998 kroq almost acoustic xmas performance, so it is not the first ever live performance.
