Thatch — Second-set opening version at The Garden gets going with some airy sauce from Rick. The band then departs from the funk atop a fluid groove from Cotter and push into a major key. Familiar emotional guitar-led jamming dominates from there, each band member relishing in the accomplishment of this monumental show. Trevor really shines with some active high-register bass lines before things explode back home.
Red Bird — The fish have all fled to the shallows of Kenyir Lake, away from the ominous cold simmer, water molecules violently injected with dark energy shimmering hues of piercing yellow and violet in an eerie churn. A troop of white-thighed surili from the surrounding jungle howl their alarm at witnessing froth and spray cascading into mist filling the Malaysian night sky above with a terrible deadly aura, The Entity conducting this deranged cauldron from the shore like some sort of sadistic sorcerer’s apprentice.
Tumble — After a loose jam over a funky bassline, the MSGoontz emerges. E-drums and arpeggiated synth textures buoy Rick’s understated, sultry prodding lines. As the groove grows more propulsive, Peter shifts to guitar — his hard-edged rhythm line framing Rick's full-force guitar assault, echoing the JOTY Philly “Tumble” played exactly a year earlier. The song’s triumphant conclusion follows an intervening 20-minute “Creatures” > “Shama.”
