CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA, SEATTLE, WA :: The Smashing Pumpkins rocked Climate Pledge Arena last night! No opener, no encore, just three incredible hours of Billy, Jimmy, James, Jack, and Kiki delivering their trademark wall of sound. The setlist leaned heavily on Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream, with plenty of extended jams and solos that made the songs even better live.
The Pumpkins (along with U2) were the soundtrack to my college years, on constant rotation, yet somehow I’d never managed to see them in concert until now. Well worth the wait! Charlie brought a friend, and we all had a smashing time. The sound quality was outstanding, and the staff at Climate Pledge were as friendly and helpful as ever. An amazing night of music!
