On the night of August 30, 2014, Billy Corgan played what was promoted as his first "true solo show", which ended up being a bit of a preview of the forthcoming In Plainsong tours. The show featured Jeff Schroeder accompanying Corgan on most songs, and notable guest appearances by Matt Walker, Sierra Swan and Ex Cops (Amalie Bruun & Brian Harding). Another highlight was the only performance of what Corgan would later refer to as the "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Suite", a stretch of eight songs in a row drawn from the recording sessions for that album.

The show took place at the Ravinia Pavilion in Highland Park, Illinois, to a crowd upwards of 3,400 people. Katie Cole served as the opening act. Corgan's setlist saw the live debuts of "Burnt Orange Black" and "My Poor Troubled Heart", the only performances of "Methusela", "The Killing Moon", and "Which Way You Goin' Billy?", and the final performances of "Owata", "Lonely Is the Name", and "The Rose March". Other notable inclusions were "Purr Snickety" which hadn't been performed live since 1991, and "To Forgive" which hadn't been performed since 1997 and had never before been performed on piano. "Muzzle" also had Corgan on piano, which was a first. Jesse Andersen, Corgan's half brother, sang on the closing song "Of a Broken Heart" along with Walker, Ex-Cops and Resistance Pro wrestlers.
