although i always half-expect him to trip over the cords, i think it had nothing to do with cords in this particular case - it was the stage. most venues, FM brings their own stage, but Jones Beach already has a stage (nice boards, and much lower then regular FM stage), and they just put some of their carpets over a part of it but mainly move around on the stage that's already there. so i think it may have been more slippery or somehow else different than the FM stage he's normally used to.

here's the whole video these screencaps are taken from, maybe you can see better than me what exactly happened:

He got up again so quickly, you almost think he fell down on purpose for dramatic effect.

My reaction to this is to wonder why musicians don't fall down on stage more often, with all those wires and cables, and monitors, and set lists, and spilled liquids, and all sorts of tripping hazards.

it kinda seemed to me like he reached the end of the cord's length, and he tried to keep going and got a bit yanked backwards by the cord… but hard to say
