There was a strange white canvas ball hanging from the ceiling,
on which various images were projected during the show.
*With "Auld Lang Syne" tease(s).
#During the song, fried eggs, udder balls, and olive loaves were
projected on the canvas (in reference/relating to last night's narration).
This was followed by the countdown and a balloon drop at midnight.
The balloons broke both Page's and Mike's mics.
^With a "Birdland" (Weather Report) tease.
$Page sang this Frank Sinatra cover (first time played).
