The Smashing Pumpkins\' first two albums, Gish and Siamese Dream, were a huge part of the soundtrack for the early \\u201990s alternative rock revolution. Still sounding revolutionary all these years later, the band\\u2019s leader, Billy Corgan, recently brought the Smashing Pumpkins to Nashville\\u2019s Bridgestone Arena for the Spirits on Fire tour, on the heels of their 11th studio album, Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts.

The concept album is a sequel to the Smashing Pumpkins\\u2019 definitive three-LP masterwork Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, from 1995\\u2014which also brought them crushing into the mainstream. Acts two and three of Atum are scheduled for January and April 2023. But meanwhile, there are live shows \\u2026 and all the gear it takes to recreate more than three decades years of the band\\u2019s signature sounds. PS: Special thanks to super-tech Trace Davis for his help with the fine points.
