Animal — Kicking off a stretch of great jamming in their first visit to SPAC, starts with lovely Pete and Rick solos & then confidently packs an extra punch, taking the jam on one of its longest rides and leading to a gorgeous, energetic final 4 minutes (capped by Trevor Bass).

The Empress Of Organos — Extended, spicy Trevor and Peter solos to start the jam as crowd energy comes through the recording. Rick comes in hot for a minute but band decides to shift and explore. Dynamic, energetic rocking continues to build in intensity until darker chaos takes over, finally releasing into joyous finish. Will take set opener Empress any day!
Thatch — Jam quickly mellows out into a quiet-yet-tight groove. "Tequila" teasing adds some flavour as the band gradually increases the energy and explodes. Amazing mid-set version from the legendary SPAC debut.
Dripfield — Tribal, triumphant set 2 closer of an epic show. Sit back and enjoy Ben and Jeff put on a percussive masterclass while synths swirl and Rick brings down the house with a thrashing, thunderous finish. "Happy" Dripfield ending and synths continue while band walks off stage.

Factory Fiction — Fitting encore for their largest show to date, band almost stops playing after final verse and toys with spacey effects before epic build up into passionate, conquering jam full of swagger. Return to fast, melodic style as the band seems intent to burning the venue to the ground in their final moments on stage.
