The Smashing Pumpkins

In July 2015, when The Smashing Pumpkins rocked the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, they were on their "End Times Tour," which was an exciting time for fans. This tour coincided with the band’s 2014 album, "Monuments to an Elegy," their ninth studio effort, marking their return after a five-year hiatus. Interestingly, "Monuments to an Elegy" showcased a leaner, more focused sound, largely thanks to the contributions of producer Howard Benson, and it featured Bill Corgan utilizing drums by the late legendary drummer Matt Walker, adding a nostalgic twist for long-time fans. The live performance of "Mayonaise" captured in the recording highlights the band’s ability to blend raw emotional energy with a polished delivery. With Marilyn Manson sharing the stage, it was a night filled with a mix of alternative vibes and theatrical rock, showing just how dynamic The Pumpkins can be—even years into their career. Fans were buzzing about Corgan's impressive vocal prowess and presence that evening!
