marziplan9 Surprised no one mentioned the Boogie On (sort of) tease in My Friend, My Friend? There was a sky banner requesting Boogie On before the show (bringing back memories of 2013’s Icculus). Which I honestly thought was a bit cheeky - we can just pay for planes and get a song request played now? I discussed this with some folks while in line and they expressed doubt that Trey would bow to pressure, given his supposed dislike of being told what to play.

And sure enough, it seemed like Trey’s response was to troll us during My Friend, My Friend - threatening to careen into Boogie On with that wild key and rhythm change towards the end. Any moment they’ll start to Boogie, right? Right?! But just when we can’t take it anymore, Trey screams a glorious denial of “My Friend! My Friend! He’s got a Knife!” and caps off the happiest version ever played (Drummer Boy versions a notable second).

Well, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
