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.

[mattstick]

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.

[WhatstheUse?]

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 stuck as hell.

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.

Will Rescue Squad make the new album?


Trey was friggin amazing

[WhatstheUse?]

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.
