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.

1Echo of a Rose — Fast version. Unfinished.
Echo of a Rose — After a strong initial peak, the jam picks up tempo at Cotter's urging, and Rick matches him with vicious rhythm work. Peter hops in on clav and marimba for several minutes of choppy and propulsive grooving that's almost Goontz-adjacent. Avoids another peak and instead slow-burn segues nicely into "Nights in White Satin."
2Nights In White Satin — The Moody Blues.
Earthling or Alien? — Much like Toronto 2/10/25, this version lifts out of the driving funk groove thanks to a smooth wash of ambience courtesy of Peter. Rick takes his time and builds a soaring, psychedelic peak with hints of the "Dripfield" ending in his solo.
3Spain — Chick Corea.

Drive — Departs among choppy Peter guitar and digital sauce into some interplay, then the band hits on a filthy ascending riff. Cotter and Trevor quickly lock in as the two guitars get further into the murk, raging for a bit before descending into space. Exploratory and dark, the band hits on a motif akin to the legendary 2/8/25 "EMG" as Peter twinkles on piano. Rick hits the heavy sauce for the final peak, wrapping an incredible jam.
MEDIA — First second-set version ever is no mere 4-minute rendition - filthy Goontz feels right at home in this song, bridging the gap between the two verses with some wild play.
