During If I Could, a large inflatable moose was tossed around the crowd. It eventually landed in perfect sitting position, facing the audience, on Page's side of the stage. Plenty of stage antics preceded Amazing Grace; Page threw the pitch pipe into the crowd and Trey pretended to throw Fishman's goggles and, eventually, Fishman himself. Trey also picked up a hackey sack from the stage and impressed the crowd with his athleticism. Timber returned for its first performance since December 30, 1992 (256 shows) and first complete version since December of 1989.
