The Smashing Pumpkins

In May 1998, The Smashing Pumpkins performed live at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, a significant period in their career following the release of their critically acclaimed double album, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," in October 1995. Leading up to this performance, they had released "Adore" in June 1998, marking a departure from their earlier sound and showcasing a more electronic and introspective style. The Dublin concert took place during the "Adore" tour, which was notable for the band's evolution in musical approach and lineup changes, including the absence of guitarist James Iha during certain performances. This live recording captures the band's transition, featuring tracks from both "Mellon Collie" and the new material from "Adore," highlighting the significant shifts in their artistic direction while also serving as a celebration of their earlier successes.
