The Smashing Pumpkins

When The Smashing Pumpkins took the stage at Lollapalooza on August 3, 2017, they were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album *Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.*, which was released later that same year. This performance marked a significant moment in the band's journey, as it was one of their first live appearances following the 2014 album *Monuments to an Elegy*, showcasing their evolving sound while reconnecting with their roots. It’s especially intriguing to note that original members Billy Corgan and James Iha reunited for the first time in over 16 years, bringing a nostalgia that resonated deeply with long-time fans. The energy in their rendition of “Eva Adore” captured not just the song’s haunting essence but also the revitalized spirit of the band, echoing the intricate balance of darkness and beauty that has always been their hallmark. What a treat for those who experienced it live!
