The Smashing Pumpkins

On May 13, 2013, during their live performance at Concrete Street Amphitheater, The Smashing Pumpkins were riding high on the wave of their ambitious album *Oceania*, which had been released the previous year. This album was notable not only as part of their ongoing evolution since the band's formative years but also as a significant triumph in their discography, marking their commitment to intertwining heavy rock sounds with a more expansive, textured approach. Besides revisiting fan favorites like "Cherub Rock," this period saw the band energizing their fanbase by blending classic hits with fresh material, showcasing the resilience and evolution of the band post-2000s lineup changes. Intriguingly, *Oceania* was conceived as part of a larger project, illuminating the band's creativity and ambition during a time when they were determined to forge their own path in the music landscape. This concert was a vibrant reminder of their legacy and artistic longevity.
