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.

1No Rain — Blind Melon. With Rogers Stevens on guitar.
2California Magic — With Matt Quinn on vocals.
Tumble — First mins of the jam is a funk thrown led by Big T, followed by a 10 min blissful section that continues to build into a peak around 20 min mark that can only be described as “what it’s like to see god”. In the return to Tumble peak, Rick whips out the machine gun and mows down the approaching enemy troops. The whole band, but especially Rick - epic performance, as good as music gets.

Hungersite — This first jam is the Cotter show. The man is on FIRE through the usual peak and then goes hand-in-hand with Rick into an angular, dark zone for the final few minutes. A motif that is begging to be explored more by Goose.
1In Your Eyes — Peter Gabriel.
In Your Eyes — Wastes no time before going full clav funk. DRENCHED in reverb, Peter really digs in before transitioning to OB-6 and lifting the jam into the air. Patient bliss develops with gorgeous Rick and the soaring guitar is back in "In Your Eyes" territory before you even realize it. Longest version to date and absolutely phenomenal.
