* with violin only

Possibly the most-hyped show the band has ever played, this was billed
as "where rock & roll slams into a full symphonic orchestra". The band
played with 25 members of the Paramus Symphony Orchestra backing them
and even made the unusual step of releasing the setlist ahead of time.
Me'Shell NdegeOcello and Medeski, Martin & Wood played sets with the
orchestra to open the show, Chris Rock emceed the evening's events, and
DJ Swamp played a short set before Blues Traveler took the stage.

After the main set was played, the band left the stage and the lights
came up, leading to much displeasure amongst the crowd - many of whom
were expecting a full show - so the band came back out to play an
impromptu encore, joined by one brave violinist from the orchestra (who
had remained on stage).
