The Smashing Pumpkins and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds ended their summer tour in Mountain View last night and the performance was one for the books.

It was a warm clear night in Mountain View yesterday, which would only get hotter once the headliners for the evening hit the stage. The Goo Goo Dolls and Train.
