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.

1Pancakes — With Loose Ends tease from Peter.
Pancakes — Typical breakfast for the first 15 or so minutes until the band locks in on a jazz-rock motif similar to "Switchin'." Peter takes an atypically aggressive approach to organ for a sustained peak section that builds momentum to a fever pitch. At Rick's urging, things get heavy through a thrashy peak before things cool off into a final bliss section. Peter makes a valiant attempt at a "Loose Ends" segue but Rick says no and brings us home. Incredible journey.
2Bob Don — With.
Tumble — Spaces out from the initial funk with Peter laying down thick guitar chords. Seems to be firmly sticking to a peaky Type 1.5 zone when a huge build takes a hard left turn into ambient space atop Cotter's churning snare, Trevor colouring with high-register melodies. Rick brings things down into some major-key riffing and Peter picks up the intensity with a turn into klezmer-ish piano jamming.
