This is a rockumentary about the Smashing Pumpkins that takes you inside their world and lets you watch their wacky personalities. Cool concert footage is shown and many great songs are played. Check this out..I love this. ****

Best video ever put out by a band...
sdbolam19 August 2000
Great for anyone interested in getting into the Smashing Pumpkins, even better for those who are already fans. The live concert footage selections are wonderful and amazing - a good variety of sound. The "super secret, super special extra stuff shot by the band" is hilarious, and lets you take a peek into the world of the Pumpkins. As the video package says, this really is "the ultimate bootleg from the Smashing Pumpkins."

Amazing.
trievt28 December 2002
Vieuphoria is absolutely terrific. The Smashing Pumpkins are an amazing band that made their own genre of music. This video contains early footage of the Pumpkins. Vieuphoria includes hit songs from Gish, Pisces Iscariot, and Siamese Dream. It also has lost footage of an entire concert in 1994. The live performances are amazing. Along with video's, it has interludes that are previously unreleased short movies by the Pumpkins. Billy Corgan, D'arcy, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlain are all very talented musicians and this video is a must for any fans. Along with the Smashing Pumpkins greatest hits DVD, everyone needs to buy this. If you like Vieuphoria, buy the CD version too.

one of the best band videos i've seen...
luna-1513 October 1999
Vieuphoria is one of the best videos put out by a band that I've seen. Not only does it have great live footage from over the years, but it has little bits by the band. One is about James' dog Bugg Superstar, one is "Up Close and Personal With Jimmy Chamberlin," and one is this funny thing with D'Arcy playing a toy electronic guitar with stuffed animals representing the rest of the band.

If you love the pumpkins...

Then this is your film. And even if you're not a pumpkins fan, you can certainly enjoy the live performances. The live stuff is fantastic, and the skits are humorous and fit in well. This is one of the best productions by a band I've ever seen, and I hope that Vieuphoria 2 comes out eventually.

Well worth the price of admission.

Awesome!
wishkah720 October 1999
I got this video at my local record store. I must say, it's one of the best concert videos I've seen since AC DC's concert videos! The Smashing Pumpkins is my second favorite group, and the songs they do in this video, and on their albums are very cool and sophisticated!

In this video, you got Billy, James, D'arcy, and Jimmy performing live! A very awesome video! A must-see for Smashing Pumpkins fans!

As far as band videos go, this is one of the better ones
MrPantyFace13 April 2002
Rocking good. Obviously for pumpkin fans only.

Songs from performances all over the world. Mainly Siamese Dream but there are a couple gish. Each band member has there own clip, the group gets some psychiatry, and billy tells the history of the band. As well as A quick interview with the band in the studio recording SD, and a view other short things like talking to the tshirt vendors at their shows.

Plus you get some unreleased tunes such as james iha's techno masterpiece "bugg superstar" with accompanying footage of him and his dog.

If your a fan of there siamese dream era you should enjoy this. Back before they became parodies of themselves with mellon collie although there are hints in this video, there wasnt in the music.I find some of the versions here better than the originals. Such as mayonaise, silverf*ck, i am one, soma

Very very good documentary of the Siamese Dream tour and live material.
subliminalhoney2 November 2003
Features live performances, unreleased videos, skits, and rare songs that are recorded in excellent audio and video (listen to Earphoria, the CD that contains all the songs and rare material. P.S. The Earphoria CD 1994 edition is a collectors item, there were only 1,000 copies released. The video is awesome but sounds cooler in DVD form.

Enjoyable, Original
MadMax-1617 April 1999
Some good concert footage, with scenes filmed by the band (!) interspliced in between... Having the band film these scenes was a masterstroke of genius, as no one can give you an impression of the band, then the band. fun fun fun
