Our Take
Our Take
Listening to The Smashing Pumpkins' live album "Counting Stars In Toronto: Live At The Chum City Building" is like stumbling upon a hidden gem at a garage sale - unexpected and totally worth it. This July 1998 performance captures the band in all their glory, serving up a mix of hits and deep cuts with a side of raw energy.
From the moment Billy Corgan's signature wail pierces through the speakers on opener "Cherub Rock", you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's chemistry is palpable, with James Iha's jangly riffs and Jimmy Chamberlin's thunderous drumming driving each song forward with relentless force.
Tracks like "Today" and "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" are given new life in this live setting, with Corgan's impassioned vocals and frenetic guitar work proving just how timeless these songs truly are. The extended jam on "Silverfuck" is a highlight, showcasing the band's improvisational skills and sheer musical prowess.
But it's not all fast-paced rockers - the acoustic interlude featuring "Disarm" and "1979" brings a moment of introspection to the set, showing off the band's versatility and range.
Overall, "Counting Stars In Toronto" is a must-listen for any Smashing Pumpkins fan or live music enthusiast. It's a reminder of why this band has stood the test of time and continues to captivate audiences around the world. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and let the Pumpkins transport you to a time when grunge ruled the airwaves.
