During a recent interview with KROQ, The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan discussed the possibility of performing at the Sphere in Las Vegas. According to him, the idea is “a no-doubter.”
Corgan said the following:
“Absolutely. It’s a no-doubter for us. We just haven’t been asked yet.”
He also added:
“If the Sphere came to us and said, ‘We’d love you to do all of ‘Mellon Collie [And The Infinite Sadness]’ with that production,’ now that makes sense to me. That makes sense to me, to do something like that, to build a show around the album, much like we’ve done the opera with The Lyric [Opera] in Chicago, and now it’s going to Europe. That makes sense to me because then you have a chance to recast the songs and the music in a different dynamic. But playing a 30-year-old album with that pacing and that song order, and expect everyone to sit there and be happy, I think that’s asking a lot of the audience. That’s why we fought against just going out and playing the record.”
