The Smashing Pumpkins 1998-07-26
July 26, 1998 was the filming of the live performance scene for the "Perfect" music video. KROQ-FM announced the filming ahead of time, inviting fans to call an 800 number for a chance to be extras in the shoot. The lucky fans who made it spent hours on the set for little pay, but were rewarded with an unusually heavy set for the band at the time.[1]
