Smashing Pumpkins-BBC In Concert Manchester, 1993 ak320
Following their mainstream breakout of 1992, Smashing Pumpkins were on a roll. With their second album, Siamese Dream debuting at number 10 on the Billboard charts and selling well over 4 million copies in the U.S. alone, the band were poised to cross into the big leagues. Despite a lot of problems within the band, namely drummer Jimmy Chamberlain‘s drug problems, and an album that went way over time and budget, the success made up for at least some of the discord happening.
So this concert signals a change in attitude for the band and a change of fortunes. Their mainstream success would carry them into 1997 when the first of several breakups, reunions and personnel changes would begin.
Still, an important band that epitomized America’s Indie scene in the 1990s.
Play loud.
