The Smashing Pumpkins

In November 2010, when The Smashing Pumpkins performed live in Bogotá, Colombia, they were riding the wave of their album "Oceania," which had been released just a few months prior, in June of the same year. This album marked a significant moment for the band, as it was part of their expansive "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" project, a concept that allowed Billy Corgan and the band to explore new sounds and ideas more freely. Interestingly, "Oceania" showcased a blend of the band’s classic alternative rock roots while pushing into more experimental territory. The live recording captures a moment of reinvigoration for the Pumpkins, as they were reestablishing themselves after a series of lineup changes and navigating the ever-evolving music scene. Plus, it’s notable that Corgan had a hand in crafting both the musical and emotional essence of the performance, making it a special occasion for fans in attendance.
