My friend made me a TAPE of Siamese Dream back in 1994.
I listened to it a ton and as really excited when Mellon Collie came out.
When the MCIS release concert was broadcast live on The End I realized how amazing they were live.

I saw them the first time on the MCIS tour but only after they rescheduled after the loss of Melvion and replacement of Jimmy.

Regardless, it was the most exciting concert I'd ever been to.

From there I was hooked.
