21 years since The Smashing Pumpkins' infamous farewell show at the Metro! Roughly 37 songs were performed over 4 hours. The band requested that audience members not record this show due to plans for an official release, though it has yet to materialize. Several special guests attended, including William Corgan Sr. (Billy Corgan's father), Chris Holmes, Dennis and Jimmy Flemion of The Frogs, Linda Strawberry, Matt Walker, Mike Garson and Rick Nelson of Cheap Trick.

The performance included 4 encores, the 4th being a half hour rendition of Silverfuck, which the crowd was begging for. "Let's rock one more time. Not for you, because you get it. Let's rock one more time for all those people who don't get it, who don't understand that music overcomes all this fucking bullshit," Corgan said.

As the band waved goodbye and walked off stage, Corgan stayed to shake hands with fans, covered in sweat and overrun with tears. Jimmy Chamberlin later recounted the night as "a myriad of everything the band is — the happiness, the sadness, all of the polar opposites of the heart." Chamberlin was seen crying as James Iha thanked the absent D'arcy Wretzky. "I just wanted to mention her," Iha told Rolling Stone. "Regardless of whether she's not playing with us, she's still with us. She was really important to the band."

Ticket holders all received a copy of Live at Cabaret Metro 10-5-88, which was a recording of their very first show in 1988, which also took place at the Metro.

The show saw the final SP performances of "This Time" and "Rock On", and the only performances of "Go" and "The Last Song".
