1h 37m

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.

1Earthling or Alien? — With Shine On You Crazy Diamond teases from Peter.
Earthling or Alien? — Low-key funk eventually dissolves into a propulsive-yet-ambient space coloured by Peter's reverb clav. Rick goes into his loops as Peter throws out the "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" intro lick before guitar returns to the fray with an intensely psychedelic Mu-Tron peak.
2The Way It Is — Bruce Hornsby.
3Trick To Happy — Bahamas. FTP. with Afie Jurvanen on guitar and vocals.
Tumble — Pretty standard 20-minute peaky "Tumble" gets bolstered by Winter 2025 dissonance seeping into the tension builds toward the end. Would not be notable in 2024 but it's is a different band on this tour.

Pancakes — Cotter is the star in the punishing first half. Once the first peak has been exhausted, the band seems to be setting up a segue but instead opts for several minutes of gorgeous major-key play before cooling off into "A Western Sun."
1All I Need — Slow, melodic version. Unfinished.
All I Need — One of the best "short" jams Goose has ever played. Nasty, dark, brooding - the whole package. We only can dream of where this would have gone beyond 11 minutes, but the band opts to pull into a truncated "Wysteria" somewhat abruptly.
