The Smashing Pumpkins - Live Performance of 'Eye' at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Portland
Ah, The Smashing Pumpkins – a band that really knows how to weave raw emotion into their sound. By the time they hit the stage at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on March 22, 2016, they had just released *Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.* The album marked their bold return after a seven-year hiatus, bringing back the iconic Billy Corgan with celebrated musical alumni. This live performance of "Eye," an electrifying piece originally from their *Singles* soundtrack, showcased the Pumpkins' ability to blend nostalgia with fresh energy. Isn’t it fascinating how the band can evoke such connections over decades? Fans must have felt a delightful surge of remembrance mixed with anticipation as they experienced this acoustic-electric tour-opener – bridging their past with present artistry, crafting moments that linger long after the last note fades.
