*With whistling; white chiffon-clad, wigged, winged nymphs/fairies were spinning and dancing in the center floor aisle. ^Fairies appeared on stage; heavy glowstick war during which floor ushers were picking up glowsticks from the aisles and returning them to patrons (who threw them again). ^^Different, jammed-out ending (during which faeries moved back to the center-of-floor aisle, gathered in a circle around some glowsticks, and emerged with glowsticks stuck into their white wigs). #“Piper” teases by Trey; without traditional Page-solo ending (they instead segued in to an ambient-style jam which got fiery and metal-ish before being abandoned); fairies/nymphs appeared on stage again, this time hiding behind Page’s setup, the amps, and Fish’s kit. ##First time played (never-recorded song originally written for the album “Billy Breathes” (and appearing on the outtakes from recoriding sessions for that album); Trey joked about it being a “new, but old” song, and this being its “world debut”); with Tom Marshall on vocals; dedicated to a man put into a wheelchair by a lacrosse accident (Chris Heinel, a student at the Hun School in Princeton, NJ). +With “Wipeout” quote; stop/start soloing by Fish, Mike, Trey/Page, and then the audience; fairies/nymphs appeared on stage topless.
