Elizabeth — Simple but effective clav riff from Peter informs this always-reliable first set energy boost.
Flodown — Not your standard "Flo" as the band breaks into a few minutes of dark jamming on the intro.
Big Modern! — Incredible example of the November 2024 hey-hole jamming. Riffs get thrown around early by Rick, Peter, and Trevor while Jeff colours on guitar. Pivots from there into a patient peak build that picks up steam and explodes for an awesome finish.

Thatch — Peter pulls several incredible earworms out of nowhere early on as Rick hangs back on minimalist rhythm. Trevor suggests a progression that will inform the rest of the jam as all five band members listen incredibly closely to each other. The key here is restraint from Rick - and when he finally lets go for the peak, it's nothing short of spectacular. MUST-HEAR.
The Old Man's Boat — First significant Boat in a LONG time goes AGGRESSIVE funk. Rick alternates between sharp MuTron and distorted leads while Peter sets up a slick arpeggiator. Punchy Vintage Vibe then carries things before spacing out and coasting atop the twinkling space sounds into an equally as dancey "Fish in the Sea."
Fish In The Sea — Bingo “FITS” finally meets its match, stepping into the ring like Tyson facing Paul. The lockdown-tested heavyweight takes on Cincy’s arpeggiated, perennially online underdog — brimming with digital flair, youthful creativity, nimble footwork, and fog machine bravado. It’s a decision by points, with this scrappy “Fish” revealing new motifs, layers, sounds and overall vibes for one of the best covers in the catalogue.
Pancakes — Deceptively short runtime. The band goes in a different direction than usual and slows things waaaaay down, only to build back up. Really cool use of 15 minutes.
