On this day in 1997, The Smashing Pumpkins attended the 39th Annual Grammy Awards. They were nominated in seven categories, the second-highest number of nominations that year:

• Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness – Album of the Year, Best Alternative Music Performance • "1979" – Record of the Year, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal • "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" – Best Pop Instrumental Performance • "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" – Best Hard Rock Performance

The band won a single award, for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal for "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", which was their first.

The event included two interviews with the band, a performance of "1979" and the acceptance speech. "1979" was performed with Matt Walker on drums, and former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna on a second kit. The performance notably made heavy use of electronic sampling and beats, akin to the Roli Mosimann remixes found on the '1979 (Mixes)' release from Virgin.
