The Smashing Pumpkins: 1991-2000 Greatest Hits Video Collection is a DVD containing
nearly all of The Smashing Pumpkins music videos released prior to the
band's breakup in late 2000. Extras include an exclusive short film Try,
a previously unreleased "I Am One" music video, behind-the-scenes and
outtakes footage, two live videos, and commentary by Jimmy Chamberlin,
Billy Corgan, James Iha, and the video directors. This DVD was released
in 2001 in conjunction with Rotten Apples, a greatest hits compilation
CD which also contains many of the same titles. Both the DVD and CD were
certified Gold less than a month after their release.
Both the DVD and the CD omit "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" from
their tracklists because the single and video were licensed to Warner
Bros. for use with the Batman & Robin soundtrack.[citation needed]
The video can be found as a bonus feature on the special edition version
of the Batman & Robin DVD, released in 2005.
The song which accompanies the Gish menu is a studio recording of "Pale
Scales". All other menu songs are from either Rotten Apples or its bonus
disc, Judas O.
Each video includes audio commentary with the band and director(s) while
select videos include full outtakes. The video for "1979" includes
bonus commentary titled Lost Tapes Commentary which is about how the
master tapes for the original shooting of the video (most of it assumed
to be the same as the final video) was lost and the search for the
tapes.
The live video for Geek USA was recorded at the sound level of the PA
system used in the unknown club they performed in. According to captions
on the video, you can experience the club sound by putting the volume
of your sound system at its maximum.
According to Corgan on the commentary of "Rhinoceros" there are two
version of the video (the second one being featured on the DVD). The
first version could be considered an outtake of the final version which
is filmed in the fashion as the final (using Super 8mm film) as a woman
is followed as she walks around a town with footage of live video cut
in. The first version was not featured due to being lost until early
2009 when it was discovered while compiling rare music and video which
has been unreleased officially or on a bootleg.
