Footnotes

Hope - Blissful all the way, the dnb-lite (with Floes teases) builds to a strong crescendo.

Spaga - Somber dnb turns tense and harried in the middle of the jam before building to a gorgeous Barber theme. Sammy signals the Spaga ending, but the band doesn’t follow suit, and he leads a segue into Munchkin instead.

Munchkin Invasion - Unlike many of the spring tour versions, it doesn’t really depart type one, but it’s strong enough to merit a listen. Magner’s spacey trance synths create great texture, and Barber utilizes the “underwater” effect on his guitar very effectively.

Spaga - A tense, brooding jam that takes its time departing from Spaga territory. As it settles down, the band moves into more blissful territory. The jam reaches a full-band crescendo over top of Peter and the Wolf teases, and segues masterfully into Confrontation.

Reactor - The debut version is more stretched out than pretty much any other standalone. It’s very mellow in the first half, and builds to a false peak before dissolving into a second dreamy theme.

Crickets - Though short-lived, the funk jam does get into some gorgeous and symphonic type two in between the lengthy segments of Crickets and Vassilios type one.

Spacebirdmatingcall - The beginning of the golden age of Spacebird that stretched into September. Sammy quickly leaves behind the Spacebird beat in favor of trance, and the theme of the jam takes on a somber, melancholy tone accentuated by Magner’s choral patches. After a drawn-out passage of extremely minimal type two, Sammy signals the return to normalcy and the jam gradually builds to a strong Spacebird ending.
