South Farms |
Morris |
CT | Crunchy clav funk and breakdowns make for a strong debut. |

Westville Music Bowl |
New Haven |
CT | Greg Knight rips up some serious freestyle and the band gets a little bit atypical with the "E or A?" groove after his departure. |

WI | Opening version continues the churn theme from 2/3's version and raises. |

Chrysalis |
Columbia |
MD | Hauntingly beautiful jam finds potential trouble as Rick breaks a string (16:45ish). Instead Peter synths & Trevor bass fill the void powerfully allowing Rick to rejoin (18:30) transforming the jam into a slow, evil abduction of the Chrysalis crowd. |

Brooklyn Bowl |
Las Vegas |
NV | 2nd phenomenal EoA in the span of a week. Early funk-fest opens up finding more experimentation between the melodic, tension-filled madness and heart-pumping Trevor bass. |

Fox Theatre, The |
Boulder |
CO | Goosemas funk is brought in early with Peter shifting across all his toys and Trevor reacting brilliantly. After Rick comes in and shreds slightly, jam slows down into a happier piano-driven blissful finish. |

Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | Boundary-pushing jam highlighted by Rick's dreamlike trills at 12:45 and Peter's synths at 14:58. Hazy ambient drift with no end goal, and no need for one - just totally locked in and thematic jamming: brilliant sign for the Cap & Spring Tour. |

Roadrunner |
Boston |
MA | Another exploration journey hitting many of the same themes we saw from the August 22 versions (funk, some darkness/tension) yet does not go as far out. |

Leader Bank Pavilion |
Boston |
MA | 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. |

Northlands Live |
Swanzey |
NH | Listening to this jam feels incomplete without taking into account the incredible sunset that happened during it. The band breaks from "E or A?" form into a long synth-drenched peak with blissful energy. |

Vibrant Music Hall |
Waukee |
IA | Serious early funk puts the power of reverb/envelope filter clav on display. Picks up energy and speed before blazing through an excellent peak atop a roaring wave of synth. Second half of an excellent first-set 1-2 punch with the preceding "All I Need." |

Carnation |
WA | Modulates quickly into an efficient and beautiful hose jam. |

HISTORY |
Toronto |
ON | Low-key funk eventually dissolves into a propulsive-yet-ambient space coloured by Peter's reverb clav. Rick goes into his loops as Peter throws out the "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" intro lick before gutiar returns to the fray with an intensely psychedelic Mu-Tron peak. |
