Jam — Atypical arpeggiator starts off the first headlining performance of 2023. The band vibes and gets loose within the confines of the groove before finishing "Electric Avenue" from Okeechobee.
1Electric Avenue — Eddy Grant. Ending only, finishing the version from 3/3/23 Okeechobee.
2All I Need — Slow, melodic version.
All I Need — Right out of the gate, the band dives into some Winter '22-style dark jamming. Peter goes to a haunting upright piano tone as he and Rick lock in. Spuds shoots the improv into a swirling vortex that transitions cleanly into some bluesy rock at Rick's urging. Organ and guitar trade riffs before Rick steers the band into three-chord bliss. Trevor really steps out on the sustained full-band peak w/ envelope filter work as the joyous peak wraps back to "AIN" proper and a second jam fakeout into "Dr. D."
3Jive II — With Earthling or Alien? tease from Trevor.
Jive II — Extra-mustard version with a Trevor Bass solo.
4Earthling or Alien? — With Jive II teases from Trevor.
Earthling or Alien? — Boundary-pushing jam highlighted by Rick's dreamlike trills at 12:45 and Peter's synths at 14:58. Hazy ambient drift with no end goal, and no need for one - just totally locked in and thematic jamming: brilliant sign for the Cap & Spring Tour.
Set II
5 songs · 1h 10m
0:001h 10m
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.
Wysteria Lane — Fiery Type 1 jam breaks at 12:16 into open plane of space highlighted by Trevor Bass. A contemplative & melancholic jam emerges, bringing to mind Talk Talk and The Cure, centered around gorgeous leads from Rick & Peter before > to "Doobie."
1Drive — With Loose Ends teases.
Drive — All-time first jam that starts off with fiery Rick shredding and melts into one of the most beautiful sections of patient, double-guitar bliss you will hear. Second jam contains a funk party that ends with Loose Ends jamming.
