The Smashing Pumpkins

Let’s take a quick stroll down memory lane to July 26, 2010, the night The Smashing Pumpkins rocked Terminal 5 in New York City. At this point in their career, they were in the midst of promoting their album “Oceania,” which had dropped earlier that same year. “Oceania” is often seen as a return to form for the band, blending their signature sound with a fresh sonic palette. It’s interesting to note that this live performance of “Hummer” showcased not only the band's resilience but also the evolution of their sound over the years. The Smashing Pumpkins, known for their theatrical shows, utilized this venue to reconnect with fans both old and new, offering a tighter, more intimate vibe compared to their massive arena concerts of the '90s. Plus, that free live stream from SPIN Magazine added a special touch, allowing fans who couldn’t make it to feel part of the experience. Who wouldn't want to be part of that electric atmosphere?
