The Smashing Pumpkins 1992-08-29

August 29, 1992 was The Smashing Pumpkins' first appearance at the Reading Festival. James Iha and D'arcy Wretzky reportedly ended their romantic relationship either just before or after the show, and the band almost broke up entirely. Billy Corgan smashes his guitar at the end of the set, apparently striking the president of Virgin Records in the head. Corgan was very unhappy with the band's performance and the technical problems endured throughout the show, telling Select magazine that "we were so awful it was disgusting".
