The Smashing Pumpkins

In June 1998, when The Smashing Pumpkins took to the FNAC Rooftop in Paris to perform "Blank Page," they were riding high on the success of their album "Adore," which had been released just a year earlier. This album marked a significant shift in the band’s sound, steering away from their typical rock roots to explore a more electronic and atmospheric vibe. It's interesting to note that during this period, the band was grappling with inner turmoil, including lineup changes and personal struggles, which ultimately added depth to their live performances. Their Paris show not only showcased their evolving sound but also underscored their ability to create intimate yet grand musical experiences—even on a rooftop! Fans and newcomers alike were treated to an unforgettable blend of melancholy and power, reflected beautifully in this live rendition.
