What I remember from that year was the extended roll sequence in the closer. If I remember correctly, there were a whole bunch of 6's, then a 5 going into a 9, a couple 2's, two 6's, a couple more 5's, then decrescendo 6's. What made it even cooler was that we went into a scatter drill right after that first 5. Of course, on the broadcast, right when the scatter starts, they cut away to another shot.
Another memory: in the middle of tour, in I think Dallas, we received a shipment of the first-ever Pearl freefloater snares in the sweet copper color.
