Aug 12, 2007 - I know exactly what you mean. I'm a huge fan of theirs, but this song is clearly above everything they've done (IMO)

Sep 17, 2007 - This performance is nothing short of mindblowing. Not only is "Thru the Eyes of Ruby" one of their finest moments, this version is amazingly executed: the comeback at the end of the song is 100%, pure energy, rocking out to the highest heavens. I feel this is exactly how Billy wanted it to be experienced.

Sep 23, 2007 - Everyone talks about Billy, but nobody talks about Jimmy! This is probably THE FINNEST PIECE OF DRUMS OF ROCK MUSIC'S HISTORY! It inspired me to play drums back in the middle of the 90s and it still does...

Sep 29, 2007 - Still my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. Also, drums were dead on in this performance.

Oct 6, 2007 - Listen to all those jazz chops jimmy incorporates into his rock drumming. If I were to create a 'dream' band in my head, Jimmy would be on skins. Throw Corgan in there too.

Jun 1, 2008 - I remember trading for a VHS copy of this video twelve years ago. The quality of the copy was complete crap and I couldn't stand watching it, but this wa sthe standout performance. Even with the video compression, this version is about 50 times better. I love the internet.
