The Smashing Pumpkins

In the live recording of "1979" from October 26, 2022, at the Centre Bell in Montreal, The Smashing Pumpkins showcased their enduring impact as a rock powerhouse. This performance came after the release of their album "*Cyr*" in November 2020, which marked a significant return to their synth-driven sound. Notably, "1979" captures that nostalgic essence of youth regrets and dreamy detachment and remains a cornerstone of their live sets. Interestingly, despite being over two decades since its original release on the iconic album "*Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness*," the song still resonates deeply with fans and underscores the band's ability to connect through time. That night in Montreal, it wasn't just a trip down memory lane; it was also a testament to the band's evolution, bringing together old and new fans alike amid an electrifying atmosphere. Their resilience and artistry really shine through in moments like these, don’t you think?
