* preceeded by footage from the movie "Castaway" on the
jumbotron screens on the scoreboard; with Tom Hanks on vocals
for the "Blat Boom..." part
** During Seven Below a disco ball was lowered from within the
scoreboard and it began snowing on stage; several dancers in
white with blinking light "stick figure skeletons", dressed
as snow creatures came out and began circling the band on
stage before moving off into the crowd - while in the crowd
several grew into large snow angels by adding stilts
to their costumes; midway during the song snow began falling
on the fans on the floor from a pair of snowmaking rigs on
the right and left sides of the scoreboard above the floor;
shortly before midnight, the snow angels began shining small
spotlights around the crowd, appearing similar to
search lights

CommentPre-show music on the PA included the "Welcome Back Kotter" theme, "Reunited," "The Boys are Back in Town," and "Foreplay/Long Time."

* Preceeded by footage from the movie "Castaway" on the jumbotron screens on the scoreboard (scenes in which Tom Hanks's character is yelling for his befriended volleyball named "Wilson"); with 'Tom Hanks' (actually Page's brother, Steve McConnell) on vocals for the "Blat Boom..." part.

** During "Seven Below" a disco ball was lowered from within the scoreboard and it began snowing on stage; several dancers in white with blinking light "stick figure skeletons", dressed as snow creatures (with a vaguely "winter/forest kingdom" fantasy motif, including white costumes with fur and some horned helmets) came out and began circling the band on stage before moving off into the crowd - while in the crowd several grew into large snow angels by adding stilts to their costumes; midway during the song snow began falling on the fans on the floor from a pair of snowmaking rigs on the right and left sides of the scoreboard above the floor; shortly before midnight, the snow angels began shining small spotlights around the crowd, appearing similar to search lights

*** At midnight, pyrotechnics spiraled around and behind the stage (some coming from the snowmaking rigs) and enormous white balloons with snow designs were dropped onto the floor.
