During the next song “Figured You Out,” the band came out with a cannon that was filled with t-shirts. They were shooting them into the crowd and the crowd was going crazy trying to catch a shirt that was being thrown from the cannons. Fans were jumping and screaming. This got the fans pumped even more.
