{{Social media/Instagram|On July 30, 1998, The Smashing Pumpkins appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman in New York City to promote the upcoming single release of "Perfect". It was their first appearance on a David Letterman show. While the bulk of the show was taped inside the 457-capacity Ed Sullivan Theater as usual, the band played on a stage erected in the middle of 53rd Street, in front of the Hello Deli. Radio contest winners and Late Show audience members stood in front of the stage, while the general public were restricted to an area about 50 feet back from the stage. The band played five additional songs for those in attendance, although the show was ultimately shut down early by police due to crowd overflow.
{{Social media/Instagram|For the Masses released August 4, 1998! It is a tribute album to Depeche Mode. The opening track is The Smashing Pumpkins cover of "Never Let Me Down Again", which was originally released as a B-side on the "Rocket" single. It was also released on the Siamese Singles box set, and on the 2011 deluxe reissue of Siamese Dream.


David Letterman told the crowd before the performance, "We couldn’t think of a better way, a better reason for tying up traffic on 53rd Street than for a performance from this great rock and roll band, Smashing Pumpkins."
This cover was by request of bassist D'arcy Wretzky who is a long-time Depeche Mode fan. It was recorded at BBC Radio One on September 12, 1993 – the same session where "Landslide" was recorded, and Billy Corgan finished writing "Bullet with Butterfly Wings". "Never Let Me Down Again" was perhaps recorded in one take.


SETLIST:
"Never Let Me Down Again" was occasionally performed live by The Pumpkins during 1994's Rock Invasion tour, and at the Double Door charity shows in February 1995. In 1998 following the release of For the Masses, Corgan joined Depeche Mode to perform it at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show. The song wouldn't be performed again until twenty years later at The Smashing Pumpkins' 30th Anniversary Series shows in late 2018.


1. Perfect
For the Masses peaked at #69 on the Billboard 200 and reached the Top 20 in Germany, making it the most successful Depeche Mode tribute album of all time. It received mixed critical reviews, but The Smashing Pumpkins' cover was noted as a highlight. AllMusic wrote that Depeche Mode songs are "difficult to cover without replicating the original arrangements" and that only a few bands succeeded in making the songs their own, singling out The Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, GusGus, and Rammstein. NME similarly states that this tribute album is "not about investigating Depeche Mode's legacy, but massaging swollen egos". The Smashing Pumpkins and The Cure are commended for attempting something different while the rest of the entries fail in adding their own twist to the songs and are hoping for "some controversy-free exposure".

"Daphne Descends", "Tear", "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" and "Thru the Eyes of Ruby" were on the setlist but not played after the NYPD ended the concert early.
