Phil belts it out with enthusiasm. There's a lot of energy in this show.

Fantastic interplay and syncopation, Jerry and Keith synergies in collective improv. Can't believe I'm the first to post this one.

Glad to see this here. A hard-biting uptempo number with inspired adrenaline.

An uptempo, creative and melodic version. The outro solo ideas over the vamp are fresh and fun. Audience was in for a treat on this night....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This is an all-round gorgeous version of both songs with creative, melodic, dance-yer-face-off jamming throughout. Could be much much higher on the chart here. Plus, as stated above, the transition from DS to China Cat is thoroughly brilliant.

Beautiful ever-changing soundscapes indeed. And then Phil nukes the world around 13:30 before going gliding into 10minute jazzospheric jam and then finally getting into the astral goo-globes and space grasshoppers with some serious string grinding and a brilliant contribution from Kieth. Wow. Just wow.

Plus excellent banter before it.
