Atlas Dogs — First jammed version since 10/6/22 gets into an airy space quickly with Rick sticking to form at first.
Tumble — Peter goes full Cory Wong mode on the initial jam segment as he takes a stroll around the stage. Eschewing the typical B-flat modulation to go into jam territory, the band fragments out of the funk and quickly builds into gorgeous major-key play led by Vintage Vibe and Rick's emotional soloing. Cotter picks up the tempo post-peak and Rick lets Peter take the lead as they blaze into the finish of an excellent jam and set.

Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa — The fabled 31-minute "Cape Cod" of Vampire Weekend dreams. Cotter and CT really lock in here as the band gets into uncharted territory. Hits some Allman Brothers bliss (much to the excitement of Rick and Ezra), then some great clav funk ahead of the song's conclusion. "Those guys can hang!"
Arrow — A good omen for 2024, "Arrow" makes good use of its time in the first outing of the year. The band drops into a late-night OB-6 space for a while before an explosive conclusion.
Hungersite — Goes absolutely balls-to-the-walls for the first jam, getting to high speeds and intensity while Rick absolutely unleashes on the eager crowd. Back half is a nice and patient dual-guitar space that segues nicely into "Dripfield" to complete the Driptych.
