Smashing Pumpkins - Live at Riviera Theatre Chicago October 1995 - Vinyl Record
This title is a special-order item and will ship separately from our distributor via USPS Media Mail within the United States. Free and flat-rate shipping promotions do not apply.
This is a radio broadcast recording of the Smashing Pumpkins at the Riviera Theatre in their hometown of Chicago in October 1995, days before Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness was released. It captures the band at their absolute peak as a live act, playing new material to an audience that had not heard it yet alongside the Siamese Dream songs that made them famous. Billy Corgan, James Iha, D'arcy Wretzky and Jimmy Chamberlin were a genuinely ferocious four piece on stage, considerably heavier than the studio albums suggest. Sourced from the WBRU-FM broadcast, the sound quality is good for a document of this kind. A worthwhile pickup for serious fans. Contact us if you want the full setlist confirmed before ordering.
Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
