Description
In 1998 The Smashing Pumpkins did a charity tour called An Evening With The Smashing Pumpkins. There were many reasons the band chose to launch a charity tour. Billy felt he didn’t have the support systems that a lot of the charities are providing to the youth now. Billy needed and used a “real strength of character to get through a lot of difficult situations.” The band had released the album Adore and had made gigs for that album on the Adore Tour but then they decided to take a break and make the An Evening With The Smashing Pumpkins charity tour instead. The band was set to donate all ticket sales revenue to local youth charities in each city where the band performed. The band also agreed to bear all expenses incurred, with their 20-member crew. This album features a radio broadcast from a show the band did at the Botanique Gardens in Brussels, Belgium on the 28th of May 1998. A must have if you have any interest in this band
