The Smashing Pumpkins

In July 2010, when The Smashing Pumpkins performed “Tonight, Tonight” live at Terminal 5 in New York, they were riding the wave of their album *Oceania*, released just a few weeks earlier on June 19, 2012. This project marked a turning point in their career, showcasing a commitment to a more cohesive sound after years of lineup changes and experimentation. Interestingly, *Oceania* is part of the larger work *Teargarden by Kaleidyscope*, reflecting lead singer Billy Corgan's vision of creating a sprawling musical universe. The energy of the live performance at Terminal 5 captures the band during a period of renewal, reminding fans of their earlier anthems while hinting at their evolving artistry. What's fascinating is how the band melded their grunge roots with lush, orchestral arrangements, resonating deeply with the audience that night.
