That was an AWFUL tour for the band. They were bored with playing Siamese Dream songs, didn't want to play new stuff yet and hadn't figured out how to play to huge crowds yet. They turned off a lot of people on that tour for good.
I assume this is the show: https://archive.org/details/tsp1994-07-27.vidx
I'm pretty sure Billy was tripping balls for most of this tour, too. Every show is like a psychedelic wankfest full of bizarre, elongated space jams, electric cello, and nonsensical comments designed to piss of the crowd. Oh, and they've also fallen into the speed trap - every song is like twice as fast as its studio counterpart - "Cherub Rock" is played at an almost punk-rock pace. It's crazy.
There's a reason I didn't include anything from Lollapalooza 1994 on this comp.

Thanks again for loading this, Matt. Downloading now. Going back to something you said earlier in the thread, about SP being one of the most misunderstood bands of the 90's, along with the comments I quoted above, what resources would you recommend for anyone (me) wanting to go back and not just revisit the music but learn more about the history of the band?
