The Great Went (Day Two). *With a "Cities" jam. **The band members take turns painting large designs at the side of the stage. Then, the crowd
"carries" the pieces of this design to the side of the venue where it is assembled and hoisted for everyone to see onto a tower. This wood tower is tall and
covered in painted plywood and has been built during the two shows. As "Harry Hood" goes into its jam, Trey asks Chris to turn the lights off, and the
band jams while the front section has a gigantic Glow Stick War. Trey tells the crowd at the end of the jamto "go and get more of those, because that
was cool." #No Muel Duel. ^The entire art tower was burned to the ground.

CommentThe Great Went

* - Includes Cities Jam
^ - Includes Art Jam. The band members take turns painting large designs at the side of the stage. Then, the crowd carries the pieces of this design to the side of the venue where it is assembled and hoisted for eveyone to see onto a tower. This wood tower is tall and covered in painted plywood and has been built during the two shows. As Harry Hood goes into the jam, Trey again asks Chris Kuroda to turn the lights off and the band jams while the front section of the crowd has a gigantic Glow Stick War. Trey tells the crowd at the end of the Jam to "go and get more of those, because that was cool."
# - The entire assembled art design is burned.
