When the Smashing Pumpkins broke up at the turn of the new millennium, the band played a show at The Metro in Chicago.

That venue also happens to be where the original Smashing Pumpkins line-up played their very first show together. As a thank you, Billy Corgan gave everyone in attendance a free bootleg of their first show. An influential band to ska suffered a similar fate as Kurt Cobain.
