What was the gag? Couldn't watch the entire show because of work  :|

A Funnel shaped screen descended upon the stage and became an hour glass on which images were shown.

The cone was above a second stage behind the SBD.
Set three began with them on this stage. The cone she a layer of translucent fabric with became a tent over the band forming the bottom of the hourglass. There was a separate PA surrounding the cone so that the performance sound came from where the band was.

At some point just before the countdown, prerecorded(?) music took over as the band snuck back to the main stage. From there, count down and then they played the rest of the set.

I like it.
Not much of a "gag", but pretty sweet idea which borrows from the Tower/Storage jams in a way.
Looked cool.

Thought the hour glass was incredibly cool.
The music was solid most of the night too.
Methinks Piper > Twist was the goods of the evening.
It makes me sad when Page has to play the Silent intro tho.
My boys thought Kuroda was MVP.

Listened to Twist and No Man on my run.
Twist has a huge Dogs jam, but it was kinda meh otherwise 
I liked the No Man jam. Had a few different sections.

Enjoyed listening to/watching the stream last night.

The hourglass thing was pretty awesome. NMINML jam was sweet as was Twist. Wolfman's was good iirc. Sloppy at times and powerful (and loud) at others.

I woulda been very happy to be there.

Peep the time stamp.

Eta: Fantastic fucking show.

Solid show, loved the hour glass.  I thought things really started getting somewhere with the piper>twist. No Man's through Bowie highlight of the night for me with No Man's the top musical highlight.  I'd be pretty stoked if I had tickets for the next two nights. Have fun!
