Footnotes
Above the Waves - Atmospheric and patient, a harbinger of the more famous Waves that was played next. Magner utilizes a haunting, echoing synth effect and Barber plays simple and complementary riffs. Shortly before the ten minute mark Magner busts out the more droning trance synths, taking lead in the jam until Barber begins to peak it.
Run Like Hell - After an experimental (and somewhat rough) intro jam in which the band makes liberal use of their new toy—a vocal looper/delay device described earlier in the show—the band launches into a fifteen minute main jam: An ethereal and spacey psychedelic journey that covers tremendous ground. A standard, if eminently patient, Run Like Hell jam builds up until the fifteen minute mark where the tone of the jam becomes distinctly somber. The jam breaks down around the eighteen minute mark and begins rebuilding to the Run Like Hell ending. Barber's playing towards the end of the jam is spectacular.
