The Smashing Pumpkins

In 2018, when The Smashing Pumpkins delivered their electric performance of "Mayonaise" at the PNC Bank Arts Center, the band was riding the wave of their reunion tour after a significant hiatus. This was part of their "Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour," which celebrated their legacy while introducing fans to fresh material. Notably, their 2014 album, *Monuments to an Elegy*, marked the band’s first collaboration with guitarist Jeff Schroeder and showcased a more polished sound, distinct from their earlier raw energy. The choice to feature "Mayonaise," a fan favorite from the iconic *Siamese Dream* album, reflects their blend of nostalgia and growth. It’s fascinating how the band managed to resonate with both longtime followers and newer audiences, bridging eras with a single, poignant song. This concert not only highlighted their enduring relevance but also proved how powerful their live performances remain, bringing a sense of community among fans.
