I don't know why we are all focused on the Mariah Carey debacle, when at the same time in the same town, Phish put on a CRAZY New Year's Eve concert including the most insane balloon drops I've ever seen.

The video is 25 minutes, goes Petrichor → Auld Lang Syne → Suzy Greenberg. There are THREE really neat things happening. 1. The "rain" starting around 6:45 , then 2. The LED umbrella's starting at 10:36, and lastly, 3) Fast forward to 17:08 for the craziest balloon/confetti/inflatables drop ever and make sure you can hear the video, the band makes hilarious sound effects.

Here's a behind the scenes video of what they used for the rain effect.

The water marbles are from Florist wholesaler RJCarbone ( http://www.rjcarbone.com/p/Water-Marbles-8oz-Colors/SMAWM8/ ) and I'm pretty sure that concert bought up the entire available stock of water marbles currently in the US. :shock:

So, what prevented the dancers from slipping on the rain pellets?

According to David Gallo Designs, "The floor had a unique gritty surface and the dancers were all wearing special socks that made the floor like a giant piece of velcro. Depending on how you landed your feet would either stick or slide. The piece was choreographed to have the dancers do both. "
 
That was incredible, Mariah who?

These guys filled an entire swimming pool with those things.

Phish always does some crazy stuff. If you have not seen a Phish show, do it. Their basist, Mike Gordon, plays our space once a year. Always a fun show. They have a 40' long midi piano that the audience can play at specific times during the show. Always rather innovative shows. You'll never see the same thing twice.
