Earthling or Alien? — Second big Boston "E or A?" of 2023. Jam begins to break into space with some octave-up from rick and reverb-drenched marimba from Peter, though still anchored in the song's progression. Second half hits double-time and explodes outward into a sunny afternoon of a peak. Just nonstop momentum.

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.
Thatch — Dark and synthy. Learning lessons from each version on the road to Boston, this one has some amazing eerie texturing from Peter, while Rick and Trevor growl in the darkness. Gradually picks up steam with the same ominous Prophet synth undertone throughout. Excellent display of tension-building here.
Everything Must Go — An important stop on the journey to the insanity at Red Rocks in just a few weeks, we are treated to another dive into Vintage Vibe darkness as the rhythm section holds down a beautiful bedrock for Rick and Peter to weave around each other. Run through a brick wall with the momentum of this one.
