the "bozos havn't been seen in two years." and this

skit was acted out onstage with the band jamming

behind them. Unreal.

# acapella

**During The 2001-> Art Jam, the band members take turns painting large

designs at the side of the stage. Then, the crowd "carries" the pieces of

this design to the side of the venue where it is assembled and hoisted for

eveyone to see onto a tower. This wood tower is tall and covered in

painted plywood and has been built during the two shows.

As Harry Hood goes into the Jam, Trey again asks Chris to turn the lights off,

and the band jams while the front section has a gigantic Glow Stick War.

Trey tells the crowd at the end of the Jam to "go and get more of those,

because that was cool.",

**During Tweezer Reprise, they burned the entire assembled design to the

ground.

There was a strange white ball in the center of the ceiling (covering the

MSG scoreboard), on which various images were projected during the show.

* With "Auld Lang Syne" tease(s).

** Ween cover

# During the song, fried eggs, udder balls, and olives were projected on

the ball (in reference/relating to last night's narration). This was

followed by the countdown and a balloon drop at midnight. The balloons

broke both Page's and Mike's mics.

^With a "Birdland" tease.

$ Page sang, Frank Sinatra cover (first time played).

% Before Fishman started the drums he walked to the front of the stage, poured a bottle of champaign on his head, then walked back to his drumkit and started playing. (A guy in the front row then reached across and grabbed)

Happy New Year!
