The Smashing Pumpkins

In August 2023, The Smashing Pumpkins delivered a riveting live performance in Tampa, a highlight of their ongoing tour that followed their ambitious 2022 album, *Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts*. This album served as a sequel of sorts to their iconic work, *Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness*, showcasing the band's undeniable evolution while harkening back to their rich legacy. At this Tampa concert, fans were treated to a mix of both nostalgic hits like "Today" and "Disarm," as well as newer tracks from *Atum*. What made this live recording especially captivating was the palpable chemistry between Billy Corgan and guitarist James Iha, reflecting the band's revitalized dynamic since Iha's return. With the amphitheater's electric atmosphere and Corgan’s fierce stage presence, the concert exemplified how, even after decades, The Smashing Pumpkins continue to captivate audiences, proving that their musical journey is still very much alive.
