Earthling or Alien? — Listening to this jam feels incomplete without taking into account the incredible sunset that happened during it. The band breaks from "E or A?" form into a long synth-drenched peak with blissful energy.
Jive Lee — 2nd huge "Lee" of the summer begins with reverbed-out clav from Peter. Coasts on synth-drenched piano and Rick's guitar which begins to lead into a darker mood. Cotter rolls on the snare as Trevor burbles up with envelope filtered work. Explores a hypnotic riff for several mins, bringing the jam to a boil before Cotter increases the tempo into a minimalist and percussive zone with Peter on marimba piano. Begins its patient journey home before returning to the conclusion of "Lee." 21 minutes of pure improv.
Thatch — Blazing second set version sees the band lock in around Trevor's thumping and Peter's arpeggiator. Hypnotic groove develops and hits a peak but is brought to its conclusion by Rick before it can go any further.
Wysteria Lane — With its patient commitment to quieter dynamics, the first half drips with Manzarek-style vintage vibe flurries in conversation with subtle guitar lines. As the tempo increases, both keys and guitar introduce distortion, leading the full band into the same punctuated recurring motif as the fiery Ryman "Wysteria."
1Eminence Front — The Who.
