Smashing Pumpkins : “99 Floors” Video

From the press release:
To celebrate their 20th anniversary, the Smashing Pumpkins will release ‘If All Goes Wrong,’ a double-DVD set documenting the band’s comeback residency during the summer of 2007. The first disc follows the newly-reunited Pumpkins throughout their 19-show run, while the second disc garners live performances from their sold-out shows at San Francisco’s Fillmore.

“The general idea of doing the residencies for us was to create an artistic opportunity,” frontman Billy Corgan told Spinner at the band’s 2007 Sessions. “By being in the same bed every night, but yet being in the same community, it affords the opportunity to see the band really have their teeth sunk into a certain energy and vibe. As the old music business systems break down, a residency will create a sense of a moment in time that general touring no longer can.”
