It was heartwarming to hear Smashing Pumpkins’ concern for the safety of their fans as they postponed their first ever gig in the country at the height of the flooding last August 7. The show was rescheduled the next day. Unfortunately the rain hasn’t really abated then; but there was no more choice, it was now or never.

Braving hard rain and torrential flood, I trooped to the concert grounds along with thousand other 90’s kids and watched Billy Corgan and company totally blast Araneta Colesium to kingdom come. The show was extended for a third set, comprising of more SP hits that they never played during the tour as a show of their appreciation for the hardcore fans that showed up. The impossible was indeed possible that night.
