The Smashing Pumpkins perform Mayonaise live at Unipol Arena Bologna
On October 18, 2018, when The Smashing Pumpkins delivered an electrifying performance of "Mayonaise" at Unipol Arena in Italy, they were riding the wave of their 2014 album *Monuments to an Elegy*. This album marked a poignant return for the band, highlighting their unique blend of alternative rock with a hint of nostalgia, especially resonating with longtime fans. Interestingly, this live show was a part of their "Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour," celebrating their legacy while showcasing their evolving sound. Notably, original members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin reunited for this tour, creating a compelling atmosphere as they performed both classics and newer tracks. It was a moment that captured the essence of their journey—from 90s icons to seasoned musicians, still managing to create that same raw energy that drew fans in all those years ago. Imagine the excitement in the air; could you feel it through the screen?
