The Smashing Pumpkins

In November 2010, when The Smashing Pumpkins performed "Disarm" at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, the band was in an intriguing phase of their evolution. Just a year earlier, they had released *Oceania*, the first album from their ambitious *Teargarden by Kaleidyscope* project. Notably, this live recording showcases the band's ability to strip down their iconic sound to an acoustic format, adding a fresh emotional layer to a song that resonates deeply with fans. The show in Chile was part of a larger tour that returned the Pumpkins to stages around the world, marking a revival of their live presence after some tumultuous years. Billy Corgan’s introspective lyrics shine even brighter in this intimate rendition, and the moment reflects not just the band's legacy, but also their ongoing journey through reinvention and connection with their audience. It's a beautiful reminder that even in new phases, their music can still evoke raw emotion.
