Before entering a studio to record Mellon Collie, Flood and the Pumpkins
went into Pumpkinland, their Chicago rehearsal space, to run through all of
the new material. This is probably the source for many of the "Pastichio
Medley" songs. Assuming that countless hours of rehearsal was recorded,
(including Mellon Collie tracks, Mellon Collie B-sides, "Pastichio Medley"
songs, unreleased songs, and miscellaneous jamming) it is impossible to
know, let alone list what was recorded. MTV filmed a few days of rehearsal
to be included in the MTV Rockumentary on The Smashing Pumpkins. Evidence
suggests that video exists of "God" and "Rubberman." A bootleg video,
known as the '666 Video,' has surfaced which apparently is the film shot by
one camera over two days of rehearsal.
