The Smashing Pumpkins

In July 2015, when The Smashing Pumpkins took the stage at Freeman Coliseum for their live performance, they were in the midst of their "End Times Tour," which showcased their evolution as a band. This performance came shortly after the release of their album *Monuments to an Elegy*, which dropped in December 2014. It was a significant record, marking their return to a more straightforward rock sound and featuring the track "Tiberius," which many fans embraced. What’s particularly interesting about this era for the band is that Billy Corgan, despite ongoing lineup changes, was still at the helm, focusing on a blend of nostalgia and modernity in their music. The tour itself was notable, not just for the collaboration with Marilyn Manson but also for the unique energy Corgan brought to the stage—evident during this vibrant showcasing in San Antonio, a city famous for its passionate music scene. It was a moment recalling both the band's storied past and their enduring legacy.
