Earphoria is a live album by The Smashing Pumpkins, made up of the audio from the band's Vieuphoria video. It first appeared in 1994 as a promo-only CD, pressed in fewer than a thousand copies, and it was bootlegged heavily afterwards. Vieuphoria came out on DVD in 2002, and that was when the CD finally got a proper commercial release.

It sits between Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness in the band's story. Every performance from the video is here, along with longer versions of the music that plays between the clips. There is one difference: "Silverfuck" keeps a tease of "Over the Rainbow" that the video cuts, possibly because of licensing costs.
