The Smashing Pumpkins

On October 24, 2022, The Smashing Pumpkins graced the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto as part of their "Spirits on Fire" tour. This performance followed the release of their album "Cyr," which dropped in November 2020. “Cyr” marked the band's return to a more modern sound, blending their signature alternative rock with a splash of electronic elements—definitely a fascinating evolution for a group that started back in the early '90s. Interestingly, during this live recording, fans got treated to a mix of both classic hits and newer tracks, illustrating the band’s ability to maintain their core identity while pushing artistic boundaries. Billy Corgan's passion shone through, capturing the audience's energy as he effortlessly navigated the emotional landscape of their music. It’s moments like these that remind us why The Smashing Pumpkins continue to be a cherished staple in rock history.
