** Ween cover
# During the song, fried eggs, udder balls, and olives were projected on
the ball (in reference/relating to last night's narration). This was
followed by the countdown and a balloon drop at midnight. The balloons
broke both Page's and Mike's mics.
^With a "Birdland" tease.
$ Page sang, Frank Sinatra cover (first time played).
% Before Fishman started the drums he walked to the front of the stage, poured a bottle of champaign on his head, then walked back to his drumkit and started playing. (A guy in the front row then reached across and grabbed)
Happy New Year!
