The Smashing Pumpkins

On October 16, 2018, The Smashing Pumpkins rocked the SSE Arena in Wembley, London, delivering an electrifying performance of "Cherub Rock," a fan favorite from their iconic 1993 album, *Siamese Dream*. At that time, the band was in the midst of their *Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour*, supporting their 2018 album, *Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.* This album marked a return to the classic trio, featuring original members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin, which stirred up nostalgia for longtime listeners. By diving into "Cherub Rock," they weren't just revisiting their roots; they were celebrating a pivotal era in alternative rock, showcasing how deeply their sound has permeated the music landscape over the years. It’s fascinating to think that, even after all this time, the energy of their live performances remains as dynamic as it was during their early days. How many classic bands can say that?
