The Smashing Pumpkins live performance of Tonite Tonite at PNC Center
On August 2, 2018, when The Smashing Pumpkins rocked the PNC Bank Arts Center, they were in a fascinating chapter of their career, having just reformed with original members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin. This live performance coincided with their album "Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun," released shortly before the concert in November 2018. This marked their first album with the original lineup in over 18 years, igniting excitement among long-time fans. Interestingly, during this tour, they celebrated their legacy while venturing into new sonic territories, blending their signature sound with fresh elements. The performance of “Tonite Tonite” showcased not just nostalgia but also the band’s evolution, reflecting their resilience and ability to forge ahead, reminding everyone that they’re still a powerful force in rock music. It's amazing how they can weave the past into their present!
