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.

1The Killing Moon — Echo & The Bunnymen.
Time to Flee — Spuds quickly turns percussive as Peter hits repeating patterns on the Vibe. Fragments into the Eastern-tinged space they love so much with circular riffs from Rick and Peter that give it a very dissonant and darker feel.
Drive — A rare fully-two-guitar jam for 2023. Deconstructs into a seriously groovy interplay section driven by Spuds' clap stack. Still pretty much Type I throughout but a very fun and groovy listen. Peter hits the keys right at the end with hints of Ted Tapes riffing as they > to an explosive "Red Bird."

Thatch — Whether you think it's the JOTY or not, this "Thatch" is a seriously dense listen. Dark and percussive at first, it feels very typical for the tour but quickly heads into evil territory thanks to Rick and Peter's interplay. Spuds pivots into a charging beat at the 18th minute and they just go for it. Superlatives can't even do this peak justice - needs to be listened. Rick plays with his Whammy at the apex before they execute a perfect and towering return to the song proper. All-timer.
1In Your Eyes — Peter Gabriel.
Dripfield — Very "In Your Eyes"-tinged jam. Upbeat and feel-good, this version signifies that Goose is finally finding their footing with big "Dripfield" jams and breaking the mold.
2Madhuvan — With River Lullaby tease from Rick.
