Here are some more supplemental materials to read after listening to the show. Apparently they were in Boston Tuesday night...which I didn't realize until Tuesday night. I almost got to see the original lineup in Providence way way back in 1999. Perhaps it's just never meant to be.
Want a quick rundown of the Smashing Pumpkins? This video from Diffuser shares some key tidbits about the band for those of you unfamiliar with their oeuvre.
As always, here are write-ups about the full Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album that "Tonight, Tonight" is featured on from AllMusic and a brief summary of just the song on Wikipedia.
Finally, here's a quick acoustic version of "Tonight, Tonight" by Billy Corgan from the Howard Stern Show. I still love the bombastic orchestral backing of the original, but, knowing more about the song as a response to childhood abuse, there's something really touching about the quieter, guitar-only version.
