Wow I was working at bumbershoot that year I cannot believe that crowd! I would have been screaming and going crazy over this song! I am ashamed to say I live in Seattle now..

@DwaynasFallenAngel: this was a mellow acoustic show inside and broadcast on the radio. True, the crowd could have been more energetic, but the band set the tone for a low key show, unlike the one later outside.

Really bad crowd, stay home instead

[biensur]

weak crowd

[11aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

lol @ all the people complaining about the crowd - was this a high energy song, or was it low key? IMO it's a great crowd, because they totally respected the vibe the artist is putting out. At a show like this I'd much rather have a crowd like this than one that decided everyone would rather hear them sing than the band. Watch the Fitz & The Tantrums one at the same stage from 2011 if you want a live crowd.

I don´t know why there´s so much videos of Smashing Pumpkins over there >> I was watching a cover of Cherub Rock and don´t know how I came to here... But I don´t regret haha beauty song

@DwaynasFallenAngel Eddie Vedder has a lot to say about Seattle crowds...much like this one.

[Ckhawa]

I just love hearing Emily TALK. She manages to say the simplest things so poetically.

Cool song. Great to HEAR the music like this. Their studio stuff sounds great but you can't tell how talented they are until you see something like this song performed live. And I personally HATE sing-alongs. We are way too cool in the NW to participate in something like that! :P

@biensur Right - god forbid a crowd actually pays attention to the band when they've stripped down to a duo with acoustic guitar. Everybody should have been milling around talking over the show like anyone who's been to the Showbox or Croc knows.
