What is your favorite acoustic song the Pumpkins did, including live acoustic versions? I would have to say Cherub Rock off Vieuphoria would be mine. Also I have always thought the more acoustic Adore demo version of The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete ranks high. Also, Daphne Descends at the Viper Room show was awesome in its own way. He played it simple, the execution was great. Anyway...

What are your favorites?

My Dahlia is excellent of course.

I did like the acoustic version of Perfect played at the Pinkpop Festival in 1998.

I know where you are coming from but I wouldn't say that about all songs, especially not sp songs.

I don't think I can listen to the Zwan Hideout Compilations all the way thru just because they are so empty sounding, but the pumpkins did a lot of great acoustic songs. Disarm for instance is one of the most, full, songs I have ever heard.

I love the acoustic version of Rhinoceros played at the Studio 10S in 1993.

Check out the version from the Pluggelectric bootleg that I uploaded. Similar, but better IMO.

I love Heavy Metal Machine acoustic. A song that just isn't supposed to be acoustic, executed very well.

Very cool. I think I do like it better than the Vieuphoria version. Thanks for the upload.

Speaking of Tonite, Tonite, I loved the (13) 09-18-00 Hamburg version. That was so awesome. The whole concert was awesome, definently worth a listen... (maybe I will upload...)

Actually, Thirty-Three sounds pretty good acoustic too.

Did anyone hear Now and Then Acoustic? I think I actually preferred that to the album version, perhaps I have it around for an upload...

I loved Rocket & Today acoustic, and Perfect was really great too.
They sounded much better then I thought they would, for some reason. Proves they have really strong melodies, I guess!
