Soundcheck

Wingsuit, Saw It Again

A soundcheck isn't part of the show and counts toward no song's play total or gap.

Notes

The visuals for Sample In a Jar went inside a temple filled with stained glass windows, explored it, then exited before the song ended and the temple crumbled. Mound was played for the first time since September 2, 2023 (113 shows). Tela was played for the first time since December 31, 2023 (100 shows). Plasma was unfinished. Mike teased Mound in Crosseyed and Painless and teased Seven Below in Pillow Jets and Sand. During I Didn't Know, Trey introduced Fish as "the 500 Foot-Tall Man" and "the Thunder from Down Under." Saw It Again then featured Fish on vacuum and Trey on drums. After the song, Trey gave Fish the same introductions, and added that he was "sucking for you! We saw him again!"

Teases

Mound — Mike (in Crosseyed and Painless and teased Seven Below in Pillow Jets and Sand)
