In a November 18, 2020 Smashing Pumpkins Archives post, Corgan recalled: "One memory I have [of the Tibet House Benefit] is of rehearsing with the group at large and heading out in the hall for some water when I ran into Lou Reed; who gave me a warm hug and asked me what I was doing running around with such a suspect crowd (a joke, obviously). Highlights of the night were performing "E-Bow the Letter" with Michael (one of my favorite R.E.M. songs), and sitting side by side with Mr. Glass as we played piano."
RELEVANT SETLIST:
Set one (Corgan solo, acoustic):
1. Blissed and Gone 2. Death Don't Have No Mercy [Reverend Gary Davis]
Set two (Corgan accompanying other artists):
3. Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies [John Cale] (with John Cale and Natalie Merchant) 4. Ship of Fools [John Cale] (with John Cale) 5. The Ballad of the Skeletons [Allen Ginsberg] (with Allen Ginsberg) 6. E-Bow the Letter [R.E.M.] (with Michael Stipe and Patti Smith) 7. The Long Road [Pearl Jam] (with Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe) 8. People Have the Power [Patti Smith] (all-star jam)
The show saw the debut performance of "Blissed and Gone", and the only performance of all other songs at a SP-related show. "Death Don't Have No Mercy" appears on the Rarities Volume 1 bootleg.

Tibet House US is a New York City non-profit that is part of the greater international network of Tibet Houses. The aim is to preserve the identity and culture of the Tibetan people that has been lost due to the Chinese invasion of Tibet and subsequent Tibetan diaspora.
Corgan recalled seeing Lou Reed "who gave me a warm hug and asked me what I was doing running around with such a suspect crowd (a joke obviously). Highlights of the night were performing "E-Bow the Letter" with Michael… and sitting side by side with Mr. Glass as we played piano"
