I sincerely wanna TY all for uh [crowd: Jingle bells!] coming out tonight, but also... being here through all the years, being here multiple nights... TYVM. We are gonna take a break for a while, but we'll be back. We will be back. I'd like to thank the incredible band: RF! AC! IR! and AR! Also I want to, as the band, thank... We have a kickass crew that makes it sound good and look good, and gets our shit here on stage and they do all the work, and I really wanna TY guys for being... incredible! TY guys. Everyone in the back line, everyone in front of the house, everyone that's backstage... management... I come up with fucking stupid idea, and they have to try to make it work [crowd laughs]. TY guys. And again, thanks Mike Garson for joining us here. We're gonna play another song off The Fragile. And... It just reminds me of how powerful music can be, you know, music um... This last little suite of songs we're gonna play have all... have a similar theme of... when I didn't know... I couldn't get out of the hole I was in. I... somehow found a way to write something that kinda made it feel like there was an escape patch. Made me feel a little bit better about myself. And the next three songs we gonna play are kinda fit into that. To be able to, in a different context, play them, feel them, see them respond with other people is a real gift, and I TY. TY guys VM for seeing us.

Notes

There are longer notes in the txt file of the recording. Two sources mixed together from myself and an anonymous source. This has been an unbelievable tour and so many damn good tapes have come from it. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the archive and sharing tapes. Especially those who were involved in the ninlive archive taping rig project. It was such a wonderful treat to get recordings from everyone and read the journal entries. Those should be up on the site very soon once I get it back and scan it. I hope to be able to bring some more recordings from the tour onto the site, as well as unearth some older recordings. Until the next tour... See you then.

Califryed was up at the front in the pit during this show and good on him for enjoying the last show of the tour/year! Some of the songs are a bit blown by the bass and the mics become disconnected at a few points. But still a listenable recording. I want to thank them for taking the time to record and send this over to the archive. But yes, their night 5 recording is a lot better.

Notes

This was edited by BLG and here is his notes on the mix he did of 3 sources from the show, "I swore I was no longer going to do projects like this, but this show definitely deserved it. I can't tell you how tedious and annoying it was to remove the click track from the IEM source, but in the end it was worth it. Both AUDs complemented each other nicely and I was able to remove some crowd noise from both sources. The pre-amp battery in the AT933 source failed and it is missing the last 3 songs of the main set. Thanks to all the tapers. This was a great show to end what I consider to be an epic 6 night stand at the Palladium."

Multicam of the last show of the Cold and Black and Infinite Tour. Many great angles, all in HD. Source 4 audio is mixed in to this one. From what I've been told, the other 5 nights are incoming.
