The feel good vibes continue in anticipation of their 30th anniversary tour as the Smashing Pumpkins continued to stir the pot of fan excitement this week. Billy Corgan posted online a list of potential songs from the band’s classic era that could make up the set list for the long-anticipated tour reunion between himself, James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin. Jeff Schroder who has played with Corgan as a member of the Pumpkins over the past few years will be in the fold as well. The tour will feature SP focusing on the albums Gish to Adore.
It’s intriguing to see Corgan teasing some choice cover songs from David Bowie, Led Zepplin, and Joy Division.
You may have read about the drama with original bassist D’Arcy Wretzky but let’s get past that and focus on what grand songs we might hear on August 13th when they return to the United Center.
