In celebration of the 4th, we're freeing this episode from the tyranny of Patreon! But for real, we thought it would be fitting since the performance we discuss is from July 4th, 1997. Originally released on our Patreon in January 2023. Enjoy!
"Patreon member Rob Tedesco cashes in his Adore reward and chose to talk about the incredible Smashing Pumpkins performance at the 1997 Eurockéennes Festival! You can watch the performance HERE!
This show finds the band in prime form after the setbacks and tragedy of the previous year. Matt Walker executes with precision and the band decimates the other top acts of the festival (with some smiles and laughs thrown in for good measure)!
Also...we recorded this episode before the Zwan revelations on the 33 pod, so the Zwan talk towards the end was before we knew about the reissue being worked on."
