**Remastered** by thir13en Baby, Let's Rock! This is one hell of a show. The band returns once again to Reading and delivers a shredding performance of material from SD and the 2 months-away MCIS. It's time to shake the rust and show-off the new songs. And they do, opening with "Jellybelly" and "Zero". And look Ognetty, a damn nice version of "Thru The Eyes...". I can't quite figure what's the deal with this source. This was clearly edited, much the way I would have done, song to song no banter at all, but the transistions are quite smooth. The only info was an EAC log file and it had this: --Smashing Pumpkins\1995-08-25 - Reading Festival, Berkshire, UK {pre-fm + audience)- So it's pFM and AUD. Well, what exactly does that mean? Listening to the show the one obvious thing is that "Fuck You..." is different than the rest. A lot like an audience recording but not completely (unfortunately it's kinda fucked up, no pun intended). But the whole show has a mixed feel to it, as though someone combined the pFM (which according to SPFC was missing "F-Y") with an audience source for the whole show and then used all or most of the audience recording for "F-Y". Got it? I'm not sure I do. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of people doing the mix of two sources without proper timecode. But whoever did this did a pretty decent job. It really does sound like your there at the show. It's a bit much on the audience mix I think,but none-the-less it gets my approval of a very enjoyable listening experience. The only thing it lacked was proper mastering. Until now. I spread the mix a bit and added a bunch of bottom. Baby got back! Enjoy!
