Frontman Billy Corgan’s new-look line-up featured Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk and The Killers bassist Mark Stoermer, along with guitarist Jeff Schroeder. Opening with a double hit of new songs, One And All and Being Beige, the quartet then dipped into a career-spanning set featuring Hummer, Tonight, Tonight, Bullet With Butterfly Wings and a cover of David Bowie’s Fame.
