Smashing Pumpkins: loads of concert MP3s/video at livepumpkins.net

A while ago I pointed out the fact that Smashing Pumpkins are pleased to give away live recordings of their shows (dating as far back as 1988) right HERE on their official site. Awesome.

Well, turns out they've recently teamed up with the Pumpkins fansite livepumpkins.net to double/triple the fun. Livepumpkins.net offers the very same bootleg audio you'll find on the official site, and then some. However, they've also very nicely curated some fan generated live show photos and videos too. It's tops. The world would be a happier place if all bands worked with their fans to create sites like this. Check out some sample MP3s posted below.

Listen:
"Disarm" live @ Columbiahalle, Berlin, Germany - 6 June, 2007
"Never Let Me Down Again" (Depeche Mode cover) live @ Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA - 12 December, 1998
"Siva" (acoustic) live @ Studio 105, Paris, France - 29 June, 1993
