On this day in 2000, The Smashing Pumpkins performed and were interviewed on MTV's Total Request Live. The songs that made the setlist were voted on by fans in real time through MTV's website. MTV reported the website had hit it's "bursting point" with internet servers crashing along the East Coast due to so many fans visiting the site at the same time. The TRL appearance also included a segment with Machina/The Machines of God artist Vasily Kafanov, and a fan Q&A over the internet.

A week later, a fan-led initiative called Project 33 attempted to get the "Thirty-Three" music video aired on TRL for Billy Corgan's 33rd birthday. Supporters managed to get the video to place at the #11 spot, which was insufficient for airing, however MTV did still show a brief clip.

SETLIST:

1. The Everlasting Gaze 2. (interview) 3. I of the Mourning 4. X.Y.U. (tease)
