The “reunited Smashing Pumpkins (Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin) are currently in the midst of their Shiny And Oh So Bright tour, where they are mostly sticking to material from their first five classic albums.
Last night’s stop in New Jersey was billed as a 30th anniversary for the band, and promised a number of special guests, which turned out to include guest performers Courtney Love, Chino Moreno from Deftones, Peter Hook from Joy Division / New Order, Davey Havok from AFI, members of The Killers, and for some reason, Mark McGrath, of the equally vital Sugar Ray.
You can check out a number of those collaborations below, along with the complete setlist via Last FM. Smashing Pumpkins are set to play Montreal’s Bell Centre on Tuesday, August 7th with Metric. Tickets are available here.
