The Smashing Pumpkins

In July 2015, when The Smashing Pumpkins performed live at the NRG Arena in Houston, they were deep into their "End Of Times Tour," which coincided with the release of their album *Monuments to an Elegy*. This album, which dropped in December 2014, was significant not just for its music but because it marked a pivotal moment in the band’s storied career. It was their first album featuring guitarist Jeff Schroeder prominently, and it brought the sound that fans loved into a modern context with a mix of rock and electronic elements. Interestingly, this concert was part of a period when Billy Corgan, the band's frontman, was making bold statements about the future of music, often reflecting on their legacy while pushing the boundaries of what The Smashing Pumpkins could be. So, it’s not just a random gig; it’s one of those moments where nostalgia meets evolution!
