Show notes

Lore

The show featured elaborate animated visuals throughout. During Evolve, the backdrop was a truck driving across America animated as a giant, elaborate diorama presented by hands animated in the same style. During Wolfman's Brother, visuals depicted a journey through an MC Escher-esque landscape of surreal "rooms" that ranged from a cozy fireplace to a giant cat peering in through the window, ultimately emerging in Las Vegas. During Theme from the Bottom, the perspective shifted to the earth beneath a forest, a scene made up of tiny dots which glowed and pulsed together. As the jam progressed, furniture and rooms began to appear in the forest, with the scene ultimately morphing into an image of the band. During Rift, the visuals culminated in a recreation of David Welker's cover art for the album. During Split Open and Melt, giant, sneaker-clad legs ran in different directions while stepping on piles of goo on the ground, sticking to their shoes. This became a world with both aquatic and surface aspects, with stars and fish, plant and animal life, some of whom developed goo bubbles and started to rise. The entire scene ultimately melted back into a puddle with a confused face. During You Enjoy Myself, the licking dog (from April 19, 2024) returned during the vocal jam, followed by a jam against an ocean of dogs swimming in sudsy water with goggles on, and finally wiener dogs in hot dog costumes. During Also Sprach Zarathustra, the hot dog theme continued by flying through a warehouse floor full of hot dogs to a hot dog rocket ship, which blasted into an outerspace littered with donuts and other snack foods. The ship ultimately found a planet with a hot dog population worshiping a giant monolith-like hot dog with a volcano erupting in the distance. During Harry Hood, the visuals culminated in a virtual fireworks display.
