For photos of the show, check out theSan Antonio’s new $70 million Tech Port Center + Arena welcomed '90s rock act Smashing Pumpkins on Monday for a maiden voyage that owed its success both to the band's performance and the venue itself.
During Smashing Pumpkins' set, frontman Billy Corgan noted the show was the band's first in “a long, long time.” Even so, the performance crackled with energy and attitude. To concertgoers' delight and surprise, the group played a mix of old and new, along with some deep cuts and an otherworldly, slightly creepy interpretation of the Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime.”
“We dedicate this song to you,” Corgan said, just before he and longtime guitarist James Iha stripped things down for an acoustic version of another mid-'90s hit, “Tonight, Tonight.”As for the venue itself, the 3,200-seat Tech Port Center feels much smaller than it is — in a good way. Though packed, the arena offered an intimate atmosphere that made the show feel personal.
