_ Perhaps one of. the ymost successful bands of the 90's, The Smashing
Pumpkins, performed td.ja ne!y solcLpuL Audience at the Rose Garden l^lt
Tuesday, finishing off a “four that has ^tested an eternity for Portland fans.
g The Portland date on the "Infinite Sadness Tour" was postponed last year
when the Pumpkins' touring^ keyboardist died ir om drug overdose and their
dr&nmer was fired for continued use of drugs. S^ith so many changes within
thetband, both, personalty add musically, many fans began to wortffer if the
Pumpkins would be the same.’«If there was any unrest among PoitfTand fans, it

of music with heavyT’jpnditions of pastjafid present Pumpkins tracks including
"Zero," "Disarm" antfJ^1979."^
It could belaid that the music: was too loud or the band's second encore
(yes, they treated the Portland crowd jpo two additional sets), consisting of a
30+ minute versiori of "Through the^Gycs of Ruby/' was too monotonous.
The truth is, The^Smashing Pumpkins proved to a primarily young audience
that true music stillb'|ives in today's pock and roll. With James lha's driving
(and almost Hendrix-cfi^ue), guitar solos and Corgan's sporadic ravings (Morrison?),
