Mention the name Smashing Pumpkins, and I am immediately brought back to glory days of cloves, broken cassettes, and striped undershirts. I saw them play a few years ago and half-expected a burned-out version of a once vital leviathan. What proceeded was an interstellar tour de force in which Billy Corgan was either melting my face with molten guitar solos or wailing over era-defining mega hits. It seems that despite unpredictable lineup changes and new material, timeless classics like "Disarm" and "Tonight, Tonight" will forever be worth their weight in gold, especially when lovingly blasted through stadium speakers. Also on the bill tonight is Liz Phair, who'll bring that patented vulnerable/venomous fuzz pedal femininity that has rightfully earned her indie rock goddess status. You can bet that the atmosphere at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall will be brimming with retroactive '90s hormones. CHRIS SUTTON
