Excellent, a Must See
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Blistering performances.
Vieuphoria is absolutely terrific. The Smashing Pumpkins are an amazing band that made their own genre of music. This video contains early footage of the Pumpkins. Vieuphoria includes hit songs from Gish, Pisces Iscariot, and Siamese Dream. It also has lost footage of an entire concert in 1994. The live performances are amazing. Along with video's, it has interludes that are previously unreleased short movies by the Pumpkins. Billy Corgan, D'arcy, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlain are all very talented musicians and this video is a must for any fans. Along with the Smashing Pumpkins greatest hits DVD, everyone needs to buy this. If you like Vieuphoria, buy the CD version too.
Then this is your film. And even if you're not a pumpkins fan, you can certainly enjoy the live performances. The live stuff is fantastic, and the skits are humorous and fit in well. This is one of the best productions by a band I've ever seen, and I hope that Vieuphoria 2 comes out eventually.Well worth the price of admission.
Vieuphoria is one of the best videos put out by a band that I've seen. Not only does it have great live footage from over the years, but it has little bits by the band. One is about James' dog Bugg Superstar, one is "Up Close and Personal With Jimmy Chamberlin," and one is this funny thing with D'Arcy playing a toy electronic guitar with stuffed animals representing the rest of the band.
Some good concert footage, with scenes filmed by the band (!) interspliced in between... Having the band film these scenes was a masterstroke of genius, as no one can give you an impression of the band, then the band. fun fun fun
