Album Notes
Smashing Pumpkins: Billy Corgan (vocals, guitar); James Iha (guitar); D'Arcy (bass); Jimmy Chamberlain (drums).
First released in 1994 in VHS format as VIEUPHORIA, this collection of pre-MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS live tracks finds the groundbreaking Chicago quartet captured live during their marathon 1993-4 world tour in a variety of international settings, from London and Chicago to Spain and Japan. In addition to the original 10 live tracks featured on the video, including a half-time version of "Disarm" from British TV, and an unplugged "Cherub Rock" from a European MTV show, EARPHORIA features snippets of demos dotted throughout the proceedings, such as the opening "Sinfony" and the intriguing "Bugg Superstar," while the anthemic (and self-descriptive) closing instrumental jam "Why Am I So Tired" is something of a percussive tour-de-force for ace drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Also available in DVD format, the set will be an education for those who wish to delve a little deeper into the Pumpkins' oeuvre, as well as an obvious must-have for Pumpkins completists.
Industry Reviews
...EARPHORIA stands as an amazing display of a band that was just beginning to reach the pinnacle of both its commercial success and artistic output....This is a very welcome walk down memory lane...
CMJ (12/02/2002)
3 stars out of 5 - ...The band's not quite tight, but that just makes Corgan's and co-guitarist James Iha's unpredictable detonations all the more powerful...
Uncut (01/01/2003)
...Documents the kind of dynamic back-and-forth that comes along in rock very, very rarely.
