Pre-show music on the PA included the "Welcome Back Kotter" theme, "Feels Like the First Time," "Back in the Saddle Again," "Reunited," "The Boys are Back in Town," and "Foreplay/Long Time" which was interrupted by the band coming on stage. Post-show music was "Let's Stay Together" * - preceeded by footage from the movie "Castaway" on the jumbotron screens on the scoreboard (scenes in which Tom Hanks's character is yelling and kicks away, then goes to search for his befriended volleyball named "Wilson"); with "Tom Hanks" (actually Page's brother Steve McConnell; see Salon.com if you want explicit confirmation) on guest vocals for the "Blat Boom..." part; ** - with a very long "pause" (2-3 minutes) and tremendous crowd roaring; *** - "Seven Below" began approximately seven minutes before midnight; during the song 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 standing on covered ladders; 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; ^^ - with "What's the Use" teases. (Thanks to ZZYZX for pre-show info, and "Chris" for the sound check list. Thanks also to Ryan Phillips and many, many others for helping out with details.) |

* 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. ^ Includes "What's The Use" tease Last Time Loves A Hero August 11, 1998 (148 shows) Last Mound November 19, 1996 (272 shows) |
