The Smashing Pumpkins

Back in 2015, when The Smashing Pumpkins graced the stage at Lollapalooza Chile, they were riding high on the wave of their album "Monuments to an Elegy," which had been released just a few months prior in December 2014. This album marked a significant moment in the band's journey, as it was their first studio release featuring guitarist Jeff Schroeder as a full member, a shift that brought fresh energy to their sound. Performing "1979" live, a track that still resonates deeply with fans, they blended nostalgia with the excitement of their current material. It's fascinating how this song, penned during their earlier days, continues to captivate audiences years later, showcasing the enduring power of their music. Plus, this 2015 performance occurred in São Paulo, a city known for its vibrant music culture, making it a fitting backdrop for a band that’s always thrived on connection and experimentation.
