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.

Elizabeth — ElizaCautionBeth - first jam rockfest with multiple builds that shifts slightly darker and slower as it begins a restrained descent into an incredible "Caution" segue.
1Caution — Bob Marley.
Caution — ElizaCautionBeth - Peter hitting creepy notes & Rick begins playing "Caution" notes out of an amazing segue. This leads to a cool, slower song start. Final verses speed up and jam builds beautifully back into "Elizabeth."
Elizabeth — ElizaCautionBeth - part three of this epic sandwich and as band slides beautifully back to this short but happy "Elizabeth" finish.

Hungersite — "Welcome to Delta"-ish jam gives way to a Rick led shredfest that eventually melts into an airy exit into "Dripfield."
1Dripfield — Unfinished.
Dripfield — Heavy vocal effects establish a psychedelic atmosphere right off the bat. The trippy vibe stays throughout the jam with haunting marimba layered over an excellent Drip drums backbone.
2Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo — Grateful Dead.
Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo — Excellent two-guitar shred. Peter leans into the waves of sound during the last dark build.
