Rockdale — One of the few “Rockdales” to exceed 20 minutes, this version echoes (almost note-for-note) the circular, melodic, and triumphant force of the 9/7/24 SPAC “Drive,” centering around a repeating earworm that Rick gradually develops. Peter and Trevor support with a steady mid-tempo groove, leaving just enough space for some of Cotter’s most dynamic playing — simultaneously accenting and propelling the jam.

Into the Myst — Absolutely incredible upbeat disco build. Rick leads the way and Cotter is right alongside him with some patient builds as they avoid an easy path into the Goontz. Cools after 21 mins as Peter takes out his sequenced percussion loops and Rick and Trevor circle each other's melodies in the open space (with a nice Sublime tease thrown in). Beautifully winds its way -> into an all-timer "Fish in the Sea" from there.
Fish In The Sea — Nice Peter-led jam in the first part splinters into some evil and gritty space thanks to Rick's urging. The band develops a swirling Eastern-style motif from there where Rick somehow resists teasing "Tumble" as things churn and grow in intensity. Seriously fluid transitions between sections as the band shows off their late-tour form. Gets into an ascending theme from there and the band produces a massive peak, flipping the scales after the rage and bringing out a serene, major-key outro.
