Tetragrammaton.

Tetrackermit

Our biggest show was 80,000 people in Florida bringing in the new millennium the night of 1999.

And starting midnight, we played straight through till sunrise. So we had an eight-hour jam.

We had port-aulettes on stage because I wouldn't be able to... That's wild. Yeah. Well, we had been talking for years about doing what we call the LG, the long gig. This was just planned. Well, the LG was going to be something even bigger. But our idea was for that is we play a regular show. And before the encore, we say say we're going to play for a long time right now

longer than usual we're not going to tell you how long but you know there's before cell phones

we were talking about this so maybe if you feel like calling home and telling them you know you're

not going to come to work tomorrow now's the time to do it and then we were going to try to go two days

so we talked and talked and

talked about this. We have all these ideas and only some of them get done. That's an amazing idea.

The LG. The long gig. I love the idea. But you did do an eight hour. You played until sunrise.

Well, let me just say, we had some sinister ideas too. We were going to, because we just like to joke around a lot. We were going to lock the doors. We were going to say, you can go out, but if you go out, like the pay phones were going to be in the lobby. If you want to call home or call work to say, I'm going to be late by a couple days, you have to leave and not come back in. The LG that actually happened was a smaller version of that, but it still worked for me.

How many people stayed? to leave and not come back in. The LG that actually happened was a smaller version of that,

but it still worked for me. How many people stayed? All 80,000. No. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I mean, these people, so we did our first festival, and festivals meant no other bands, but a lot of

art installations and themes. We did the first one in 96. So 80,000 people stayed and listened to you play until the sun rose.

Get this, though.

So normally at festivals, we would do three sets per day, afternoon, two at night, and then there's a secret set in the middle of the night.

Let me just say that the first one, this was all the doing of John Poluska and 50 artists.

He was our manager for so many years. The first one

was we would use decommissioned Air Force bases, so it was in Plattsburgh. And the whole two-mile

runway would be camping. So people didn't know then that we were going to have a secret set
