The Smashing Pumpkins

In July 2015, when The Smashing Pumpkins delivered their electrifying performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, they were riding the wave of their album *Monuments to an Elegy*, which had just been released in December 2014. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was the first to feature the band’s new lineup, including drummer Jack Bevan, and showcased a return to the Pumpkins' signature sound infused with a modern twist. Interestingly, *Monuments to an Elegy* was conceived almost entirely by frontman Billy Corgan, reflecting his artistic vision amidst the band's tumultuous history. During the live recording of “The Everlasting Gaze” and “Zero,” fans were treated to a nostalgic celebration of both classic and contemporary tunes, symbolizing a bridge between their iconic past and evolving present. That night at Red Rocks, the connection with the audience was palpable, reminding everyone why The Smashing Pumpkins have been such a lasting force in rock music.
