=== Choosing songs ===
To start the event, Rivers asked what songs fans wanted to hear.  So many songs were shouted that Rivers decided he would let people with unique instruments choose songs.  He proceeded to alphabetically call off letters and anyone whose instrument started with that letter was permitted to name a song (Acoustic guitar, electric guitar and guitar were void).  For 'v', Rivers chose the instrument "vocalist" which allowed him to pick his own song (he picked "[[Can't Stop Partying]]").  After songs were picked and organized into a column, Rivers asked the fans to chose an opener.  Fans unanimously choose "[[Blast Off!]]".  Then, Rivers asked fans to choose a closer, which resulted in a debate between "[[Longtime Sunshine]]" and "[[Butterfly]]".  "Longtime Sunshine" was voted off (along with "[[Peace]]" and "[[I Was Made for You]]") in favor of other songs like "[[Buddy Holly]]", "[[Lover in the Snow]]" and "[[Getting Up and Leaving]]".  Eventually, Rivers decided that after "[[Blast Off!]]", the songs would follow in alphabetical order.
