Oceania: Live in NYC

Oceania: Live in NYC is a live video album by The Smashing Pumpkins, recorded at Brooklyn's Barclays Center in New York on December 10, 2012. The concert was released on several home audio and video formats on September 24, 2013. The show includes a performance of the band's 2012 album Oceania in full. The video is available in three-dimensional form.

The concert was originally scheduled for Halloween night in 2012, but was postponed due to Hurricane Sandy.

Background
The large-scale production and stage show of the Oceania tour was in part inspired by Roger Waters' The Wall Live tour. Billy Corgan had seen one of the shows in recent years, and reached out to Waters' stage designer, Sean Evans, to do something similar for The Smashing Pumpkins. The result was an elaborate moon-shaped backdrop with a mixture of strobe and mood-setting lights that accompanied the setlist.

Critical reception
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer called Oceania: Live in NYC "an essential Smashing Pumpkins offering", praising the elaborate production, Corgan's vocal range, the dueling guitar solos with Jeff Schroeder, and Mike Byrne's Neil Peart-ish flourishes. AllMusic called it an "intense" multimedia experience and gave it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
