From the notes

Strokin' was played for the first time since September 1, 2019 (89 shows) and was dedicated to the Trash Angels and Flavortown crew. Before Look Out Cleveland, a cake was brought out to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Jeff's first show in the band. At the beginning of the encore, another cake was brought out for Marta's birthday and the crowd sang to her.

The set as tape — each song is as wide as it is long, segued songs run on unbroken tape (split by a splice, not a gap), and jams burn.

Look Out Cleveland — In honour of Jeff's 1-year anniversary in the band, he gets to sing before the second-ever "Cleveland" dives headlong into a deep and funky jam that rides to a great peak to close the first set of this legendary Legend Valley show.

Elmeg The Wise — Soaring and beautiful, as "Elmeg" is wont to do.
Madhuvan — The second half of the sandwich, the "Madhuvan" jam emerges dissonantly from the "Moby" ending and is 13 minutes of a runaway freight train. Rick and Peter especially shine with their insane duelling guitar work. Must-hear.
1Strokin' — Clarence Carter. With Coach on rainstick and vocals.
2Indian River — Sanskrit verse only. With Coach on rainstick.

726 — An especially amazing and emotional Rick solo begins this encore version and is elevated by perfectly placed siren synths from Peter.
Arrow — Moves and builds upon a melodic riff for several minutes to a soaring peak like none I’ve heard, and then settles beautifully.
