I thought that third set was a thing to behold.

After reading about set III, I think I have to hold off and watch it before I just listen to it.

There was a recorded piano accompaniment to the a capella "Send In The Clones".

Similar to the JEMP set I thought that having fewer effects and toys, esp Page and Mike made for a more interesting set, YEM felt like a bit of a throwback.

Not sure I will ever replay it but I enjoyed set III in the moment.

I still don't exactly know what went down but it sounded fun per usual.

So... Trey actually got stuck? Or was that part of the gag too?

Also, how did they not play clone?

He was so stuck he should have busted out a Spinal Tap cover up there.

That's what I'm gathering. For the entire 3rd set? And the rest of the band was playing on stage?

Nah, they all floated around on their platforms.  His was just stuck and they had to come get him off it after the show.  They didn't have any safety gear and it was dicey for a while.

At one point Mike was like 20 feet higher than everyone else, not on purpose it appeared.  Shit was malfunctioning, yo.

no the other guys were still moving up and down. All treys gear was on his platform so there was no way for them to get him down without holding up the show. It was certainly unique. All I knew is I wasn't leaving until they figured out how to get Trey down.
  Fantastic run overall. I can't remember a damn thing but I know I had an absolute blast.

Wow, after digesting a few videos... that must have been so WEIRD to watch live! So odd watching him play YEM on his knees and hitting his pedals with his hands.

Would have been an ideal time to introduce There's A Path Above ie. High above gravity, turning in perfection.

I thought it was pretty sweet. We were about 10' off of the rail and had a huge crew down there with tons of space. Was a cool vantage point for the clone stuff. First set had some good stuff but the Wolfmans twist light or whatever it was was smoking, the twist especially.  Musically probably not as good as the 30th but really well played. I felt bad for trey but he handled it well. Imagine being on the biggest stage in the world on the biggest night of the year and that happens. Definite spinal tap moment.  All in all, MSG is still king and that was a very solid 4 show run. The end of New Years show was kinda rushed and weird due to the aforementioned but we had a blast. Love the backup singing from the clones.

I think maybe I saw you on the webcast during the "note" part of YEM?

They didn't have any safety gear and it was dicey for a while.

Trey was definitely nervous but they did have safety gear. Each band member was clipped in to their platform (confirmed via Mike's instagram story). The safeties worked and the platform did not fall but it was definitely uncomfortably askew.

We discussed it on the new HFPod:

You can see it, at 6:32 in that video, where it abruptly stops. Trey grabs his mic stand then. Before that he and Mike were even but Mike keeps going.
At the time I think many of us wondered why Mike was higher, thinking THAT was the malfunction...

couldnt stop thinking of that egg scene in Spinal Tap during the lift malfunction :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
Must have been pretty scary for Trey but he played it off really well. Also it would be pretty weird to see that live on a head full.
Not my favorite NYE gag but pretty cool. As WTU said, no clone!?!


Happy New Year!

My viewing party regarded the Mike elevation as a joke about his stage platform.

The camera is right there in my spot during that but I didn't see myself.  I'm probably somewhere on the cast though....It was great being close but the long shots look amazing on the video.

OK - listening to Send in the Clones today I caught this. And it cracked my shit up...

Trey: Isn't it rich?
others: Isn't it rich?
Trey: Isn't it queer?
others: Isn't it queer?
Trey: Losing my timing this late in my career?
others: Speak for yourself!
