Finally the Smashing Pumpkins made their way to Utrecht. A few days earlier the band walked of stage in Brussels after two songs. Billie Corgan had a throat infection and wasn't able to sing anymore. So one of the two remaining U.K. dates was off and the continuation of Utrecht was very unsure. But he kept his voice and decided to do the last gig of the pre-release 'Machina - the machines of god' tour. (release February 28th).

The Smashing Pumpkins' performance at Pinkpop on May 23, 1994, was a powerful showcase of the band at the height of their "Siamese Dream" era. The setlist was heavily focused on that album, featuring fan favorites like "Cherub Rock," "Rocket," "Today," and "Disarm." They also included the "Gish" track "I Am One" and the single "Drown." The show is well-regarded by fans as an excellent example of their live sound during that period, characterized by loud, dynamic guitars and a tight, aggressive performance. The band was part of a strong lineup that day, which also included acts like Rage Against the Machine, Björk, and The Breeders. Notably, the Smashing Pumpkins' set concluded with an epic and lengthy rendition of "Silverfuck." The performance is often cited by fans as one of the band's top-tier live shows, with strong vocal and musical performances from the band. The energy of the crowd and the band's stage presence contributed to a memorable and intense experience.
