Setlist notes

After Divided Sky, Trey spoke about how “exceptional” the room was, and how “inspiring” it was to play in. He explained that the band had engaged in “philosophical discussions” about standing versus sitting at shows. He said that some people may prefer to sit rather than stand and dance, and that the band hoped that everyone would be considerate of each other. (He also noted that he prefers to dance while listening to live music, while Page prefers to sit.) Trey added that he did not want anyone to feel uncomfortable about dancing in the aisles. Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones.
