The Smashing Pumpkins
The Smashing Pumpkins Live in Philadelphia at Wells Fargo Center
In July 2018, The Smashing Pumpkins were in a fascinating phase of their career, having recently released the album *Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.* Just a few months prior, this album marked a significant comeback for the band, reigniting the magic that first captivated fans in the ’90s. This live recording from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia showcases not only their enduring stage presence but also the return of founding members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin, which excited long-time followers. It was a moment steeped in nostalgia, as they were performing a blend of classics alongside fresh material, reminding everyone that the Pumpkins still had plenty of gas in the tank. Ah, can you hear the cheers? It’s a testament to their resilience and ability to evolve while still holding onto that iconic sound.
