I can't hear it very well. :(

if anyone can get ahold of the SNL Halloween episode and send me a link ,you would rule my day. I used to have it on vhs. Damn wish I still did. It is one of the best SNL's ever, and it was the first time SP's were on national tv.  Cherub Rock(played first) is one of the best performances of that song, which tells you how much drive and belief Billy had in his dream......LONG LIVE BILLY AND HIS DREAM!!!!

Yay, i didnt know if anybody actually got this on film. I was at this show and this was, I believe, right after he came onto stage for Ava Adore carrying that plastic Halloween pumpkin. He then explained how that was the first and only time he would have a pumpkin on the stage in his entire career. You can actually get this performance on CD or flac/.mp3 however you feel to. But being front center on the balcony at the Midland theatre for my first SP show has still made this the best show ever.

I´ve got a Smashing Pumpkins set from SNL 1993 on DVD. They played Cherub Rock and Today.

[firehandfingerspark1]

yeah I heard this. But regardless, the Cherub Rock performance was so fn sick. First time on SNL. A must see.

@firehandfingerspark1

I have to agree with you on that snl version of cherub rock. I'll never forget it.
