All I Need — Cotter's first "AIN" opens summer tour on a strong note. Gets into some percussive space before a brief major section gives way to a spacier and dark-tinged mode. Peter goes to guitar for the last few minutes as they explore some new territory before sliding perfectly -> to "Flee."
Borne — Initial standard "Borne" jamming gets into some weird territory just before the 20-minute mark thanks to Cotter and Trevor. Envelope filter bass gets augmented by choppy clav from Peter as Rick lays down loops, eventually smoothly morphing into an upbeat and rocking peak. Hell of an omen for the rest of tour.

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.
The Empress Of Organos — Rick's new synth pedal gets a workout as the band plays the first of many amazing versions of "Empress" in summer '24. Late-night disco groove emerges, which will be a prevalent theme throughout the tour.
