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.

1Wild Night — Van Morrison.
2Indian River — 80s synth version. With Welcome to Delta jam.
Everything Must Go — Rick hits a repeating pattern that band lock on around, Pete beautifully hits a perfectly timed synth and then jam energetically takes off in best version to date. Rick is an absolute rock god in this absurdly beautiful finish.

1Yeti — Unfinished.
Yeti — Groove locks in and departs "Yeti" proper before one of the band's best segues to date into "Creatures."
Creatures — Perfect segue out of "Yeti" and it's all gravy from there. Energy on top of energy on top of energy for 20 minutes while fireworks begin going off in the background. The following "Arcadia" finishes out a wild trio to celebrate the 4th on the boardwalk.
Arcadia — Not an atypical version musically or very long, but the 4th of July fireworks and INSANE energy make this one special.
2Electric Avenue — Eddy Grant.
Dripfield — Pete given a mid-jam opportunity to shine on the keys and after a quick solo, creates a salsa-like groove that band picks up on. First version to have the fast, “happy” "Dripfield" ending.
