The Smashing Pumpkins

In November 2006, when The Smashing Pumpkins delivered their electrifying live performance of “Hummer” at the Tower Theatre in Pennsylvania, they were deep into the promotion of their ambitious album, *Zeitgeist*. Released earlier that year, this record marked their first studio effort in over seven years, signaling a comeback for the band. It was quite a moment in their history, given that the lineup had shifted significantly, with Billy Corgan steering the ship while enlisting the talents of new members. The performance captured the band's drive to recapture their signature sound while bringing a fresh vibe to their music. Interestingly, *Zeitgeist* was surrounded by a wave of nostalgia and anticipation, as fans were eager to see how the band would blend their classic elements with a modern flair. That night at the Tower Theatre wasn’t just a concert; it was a testament to their resilience and evolution as artists.
