The Smashing Pumpkins

In 2011, when The Smashing Pumpkins performed "Muzzle" live at the Boulevard Pool in Las Vegas, they were riding a wave of revival following a five-year hiatus. This performance took place during their "Oceania" tour, which supported the album "Oceania," released earlier that same year. Notably, "Oceania" marked their first album since 2007’s "Zeitgeist," showcasing a real return to form with an expansive and atmospheric sound, signaling a shift back to their artistic roots. It's interesting to note that the Pumpkins have an open taping policy for their shows, which is quite uncommon in the industry and reflects Billy Corgan's desire for connection with fans. This approach allowed the Las Vegas audience to capture the electrifying atmosphere of the show, cementing the band's ongoing dedication to their craft and their willingness to engage with their audience in a more intimate, personal way. It really speaks to their journey and evolution, doesn’t it?
