The Smashing Pumpkins
The Smashing Pumpkins Live at Tower Theater | Full Concert
On October 21, 2007, The Smashing Pumpkins performed live at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, during their "Zeitgeist" tour. Prior to this performance, the band had released "Zeitgeist" in July 2007, which marked their first studio album in nearly seven years, following a significant hiatus after "Machina/The Machines of God" in 2000. The live recording captures the band re-establishing their presence in the rock scene with a mix of new material from "Zeitgeist" and classic hits like "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and "Drown." During this period, the band was also navigating lineup changes, with original members Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin leading a reformed group, which underscored the significance of their return to live performances after years of uncertainty surrounding their future. The concert at Tower Theater highlighted their resilience and commitment to both old and new fans.
