4/5 Thank God for bonus content
  by J. D. Estrada
If not for the bonus content on this DVD I might have actually been annoyed at the offering of the main film on this DVD. To make this absolutely clear, I'm a big pumpkins fan from their album releases so this was a huge risk since having seen the VH1's storytellers and other people's reactions planted quite a seed of doubt regarding Smashing Pumpkin's performance value. Thankfully the performances are a lot better than average and some reach awesomeness to use a trendy typo buzzword. But the snippets in between performances are wtf at best. The pumpkin's brand of humor or attempt of humor suck at best. Sorry, but I sat through it and decided that in further viewings I'd skip those clips because they take away from some very good performances. Where does this band shine live though? If anyone says Billy Corgan's drama, they're sipping too much pumpkin flavored koolaid. The focal point of this band is Jimmy Chamberlain's thunderous drumming and Billy's guitar work, not his drama or all of his vocal chops which are mixed though leaning to the positive side. Thank god because I've heard my fair share of "his vocals suck live" comments. So in essence, if you're a Pumpkins fan, you can buy this album without worrying it'll totally suck. There will be parts you will skip but there will be parts that will make you raise and eyebrow while pumping your first.

5/5 The Pumpkins best years!

Boy am I glad I decided to get this DVD. If you are a fan of the good old days of the band then this dvd is for you! Packed with live performances of some of the best songs from from their early 90's albums and some goofy little skits and sarcastic interviews, this will surely provide a nostalgic dose of joy to any serious Pumpkins fan.

Although I would have liked to have seen non-acoustic versions of Mayonaise and Cherub Rock I still give Veiuphoria a partially biased 5 out of 5 stars.

Happy Shopping everyone!

5/5 Absolute Ownage DVD for any fan of music

Forget even being a crazed out Pumpkins fan, if you kiddies like the rock and roll dished out via live concert footage, Vieuphoria is tops.
i.e. YOU MUST BUY THIS unless you are a complete moron, or just have no money.

good thing DVD's last a long time, this one is worth keeping until I am old and senile. : )
heck fire, maybe it will be EVEN better that way.

4/5 Almost Perfect

I am a HUMONGOUS Pumpkins fan and never saw them in concert, so buying this recently was a no-brainer.

I think Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the greatest album of all time.

Siamese Dream is definitely top 5 though.

It was such a pleasure seeing them perform live, especially 2 of my favorites in "Today" and especially "Soma", which was breathtaking.

Even more amazing was the "Lost Tapes" where they do "Hummer", among others, just great.

Also, they do another performance of "Soma" there which featured a violinist and added to the grandiose atmospherics of that AMAZING song.

My only complaint is with 2 of the songs, 2 of my favorites from the "Siamese" era....

"Disarm" and most especially "Mayonnaise".

They played "Disarm" in a hardcore version, which was impressive (especially Jimmy on drums) but lacked the intended and very effective mood of the acoustic album version, which was superb.

And "Mayonnaise" is the 2nd best Pumpkins song of all time (behind their watershed song "1979" which I feel is the best song ever recorded).

They played "Mayonnaise" acoustic and half heartedly in my opinion and that song in it's entirety on the "Siamese dream" record in it's original form is one of the most incredible songs you will ever hear, it was so emotional and my point is the performance on this DVD is very UNemotional with Billy even laughing at one point.

Don't get me wrong, I am a class A Pumpkinhead, but I have never seen "Disarm" or "Mayonnaise" live and thought I was getting them on here, other than that misstep, I loved it and will cherish it forever, although I hear that the Pumpkins are in fact reuniting to headline the Coachella festival in California next month.

No word yet on whether James or D'Arcy are "in" but the early indications are that James may be which would be enough for me.

Jimmy is already in and if D'Arcy is not, Melissa from Hole, who took over for D'arcy later on anyway, is ready to step in.

That news made my year !!!!!!!!!
