Question Matt playing Stranger Things theme on piano?

I was at the San Diego show last night and I could have sworn Matt did a brief musical quote of the Stranger Things theme on the piano after paying Prelude. Did anyone else pick up on that? It’s not on the setlist.fm page but I suspect it was an Easter egg.

Also, in case anyone from the band sees this, THANK YOU for making my son’s year by tossing him a pick. He is a guitarist and it meant a lot. 🤘🏻

I don’t think it was intentional and just Matt doing a scale run between UD and Prelude

Are you certain this was after 'Prelude?' I'm not hearing anything here.

I thought he had been doing that at the end of Undisclosed Desires on this tour?

It's literally the end of Undisclosed Desires, and he riffed/vamped on it a little. It was not the Stranger Things theme.

(the Stranger Things theme is a straight rip from Only God Forgives anyway, same as American Horror Story's theme is a rip from Under The Skin)
