The Smashing Pumpkins

In March 2000, during a pivotal moment in The Smashing Pumpkins' journey, the band was riding high on the waves created by their album *Machina/The Machines of God*, which had been released just a few months earlier. This live recording from MusiquePlus in Montreal became a beautiful snapshot of a band venturing into new lyrical and musical territories, blending their signature alternative rock style with fresh ideas. Notably, the setlist included tracks like "The Everlasting Gaze" and "Stand Inside Your Love," both of which showcased the band's evolution post-*Adore*. Interestingly, this period was marked by a more experimental phase, reflecting their willingness to explore darker themes and ambitious soundscapes. You can almost feel the group's energy and passion radiating through those live performances, can’t you? The blend of raw live emotion in the video really captures where the band was both creatively and emotionally during this fascinating chapter.
