Smashing Pumpkins perform Eye live in Atlanta
On November 30, 2015, The Smashing Pumpkins delivered a powerful live performance of "Eye" in Atlanta, which is a standout from their diverse discography. This performance came during a time when the band was revisiting their roots while simultaneously pushing forward. Just ahead of this show, they released “Monuments to an Elegy” in 2014, a record that sampled their iconic sound while incorporating fresh influences. The album marked a significant moment, being one of their few releases featuring original bassist D'arcy Wretzky's absence and showcasing guitarist Jeff Schroeder's heightened role. Interestingly, the concert occurred during their "Shiny and Oh So Bright" tour, a period characterized by a mix of nostalgia and experimentation, as they began to embrace a more streamlined lineup. For fans, the Atlanta show offered a vibrant glimpse into a band that, despite its evolving journey, never lost its knack for delivering electrifying live experiences.
