The Smashing Pumpkins

On July 28, 2018, The Smashing Pumpkins performed at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, delivering a fervent rendition of "Muzzle." At this point in their career, the band was riding the wave of their 2014 album, *Monuments to an Elegy*. This album marked a significant moment as it was their first in nearly five years and showcased their signature sound while introducing a touch of modernity—courtesy of producer Howard Benson. It’s fascinating to note that this live performance came amidst their “Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour,” which was a reunion of sorts for the original lineup, enhancing the emotional weight of their live shows. Fans were undoubtedly excited to hear a classic like "Muzzle," which originally appeared on the beloved *Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.* This performance didn’t just highlight nostalgia; it also reaffirmed their place in the rock landscape, connecting older songs with newer audiences. Exciting times, indeed!
