Presumably due to insistence from the show's producers, the band acted out playing to a pre-recorded track, with only Billy Corgan singing live. Amusingly, D'arcy Wretzky can be seen playing a Gibson Flying V guitar, while touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin uses drum mallets to act out his playing of the keyboards.[1]
