  In April 1997, The Smashing Pumpkins were in the midst of their "Adore" era, having released the album shortly before the live concert in Belfort, France, on April 7, 1997. "Adore," which came out in June 1998, marked a significant departure from the band's earlier sound, emphasizing a more subdued and introspective style compared to their previous high-energy albums like "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness." At the time of this performance, the band was transitioning both musically and personally, with notable changes in their lineup, including the departure of their keyboardist and additional collaborators. During the concert, they showcased a mix of tracks, reflecting their diverse catalog, including "Tonight, Tonight" and "The End Is The Beginning Is The End," which highlights their bold experimental phase. This live set captures the band’s evolving sound and the intensity of their live performances during a pivotal moment in their career.
