The Smashing Pumpkins

Ah, The Smashing Pumpkins—what a ride they’ve had over the years! Fast forward to September 5, 2023, and we catch them live at PNC Pavilion in Cincinnati, a stop on their "World Is A Vampire Tour." Performing "Jellybelly," the band takes us back to their groundbreaking album, *Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness*, which was originally released in 1995. It's fascinating how this track still resonates with fans, years later. It’s a prime example of their signature blend of angst and melody, and here's a quirky tidbit: “Jellybelly” was nearly left off the album! In this live recording, you can really feel the energy and nostalgia in the air, making you wonder how many fans in the crowd were singing along, lost in their teenage memories. It's a brilliant reminder of the band's enduring legacy and their ability to evoke genuine emotion through both classic and contemporary songs.
