The September 17, 2023 early performance by The Smashing Pumpkins was the first of two shows commemorating 30 years of Siamese Dream. Starting a week prior, Madame ZuZu's was retrofitted into a real 1990s-era Tower Records, ending with the two shows that loosely recreate the Siamese Dream midnight release show at Tower Records from July 26, 1993. The popup experience featured exclusive merchandise and vinyl records, and ended with the announcement of the release of a special 45 RPM 12" maxi-single of "Mayonaise", with the studio version on one side and the acoustic version from Vieuphoria on the other side.
