The band paid tribute to Israel via a surprise number mid-set when guitarist Rob "Bumblefoot" Thal (originally Ronald Blumenthal) played his version of Hatikvah as the audience sang along. As the Israeli national anthem came to an end, the band transitioned into their hit song "Don't Cry."
The band's decision to play in Israel was one that many anti-Israel activists opposed, advocating for a cultural boycott of the Jewish state.
