Going against the idea of doing a quiet concert, not only because the band announced it as being an unplugged gig, but also because the new album is going on that direction, the Smashing Pumpkins offered their portuguese fans a powerfull, electric set. The concert took place in Aula Magna, a room for 2,000 people which belongs to the Lisbon University. Portugal was included on the tour dates by special demand of the band themselves, because, as Billy Corgan said on an interview, "Portugal has a special kind of feeling. The fans are wild and love every minute of the set. It's the perfect audience to present new songs, because they still react as if they were old hits". The performance was set to introduce "Adore", which was set to be
released on the 2nd June, but the songs appeared with different
versions, including the presence of two drummers and a percussionist on
stage.
The complete set was :
It was a total of 150 minutes of pure rock.
