The Smashing Pumpkins Live Performance of Thirty Three in Bologna
In October 2018, when The Smashing Pumpkins delivered their electrifying performance at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, they were riding the wave of their latest album, *Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.* Released earlier that same month, this record marked a significant return for the band, reuniting founding members Billy Corgan and James Iha after years apart. The live recording of “Thirty-Three” showcases not only their enduring musical chemistry but also highlights their ability to evoke nostalgia while pushing forward. This performance resonated deeply with fans, illustrating their evolution through the decades. The Smashing Pumpkins have always had a flair for the dramatic, and in Bologna, they captured that spirit, blending their iconic sound with new beginnings, reminding us why they've remained a force in the alternative rock scene for so long. Can you believe they’ve been doing this since the early ‘90s? Time flies!
