Media Reviews
“The Smashing Pumpkins rooftop poolside on a beautiful summer night. Sounds amazing? Well it was. Sure, it’s not the original lineup and of course some people are going to complain that it can’t be The Smashing Pumpkins with only one original member. Those people are wrong in my opinion because the remaining original member is frontman and phenomenal guitarist, Billy Corgan, and since he’s the voice and driving force behind all that is The Smashing Pumpkins, those naysayers can just talk amongst themselves, I’m not listening. Bands change lineups and as long as the heart and soul of the band remains then it’s The Smashing Pumpkins.” - Karen Mandall
“Elevated above the famed Las Vegas Strip, the evening began with several throwbacks to the band’s earlier years with tracks like Geek U.S.A. and Starla. Eventually, new material from the band’s soon-to-be-released album Oceania began to soar through the venue. One of the highlights of the evening came when frontman Billy Corgan stepped back to bask in the collective voices of the audience. After a roaring and energetic encore, everyone in attendance cheered. As The Boulevard Pool began to empty out, concertgoers left with a greater dedication and heightened love for one of the country’s most acclaimed musical acts.” - VegasNews.com
