2nd jam in Tap
-Good stuff w the hot water tease but especially great when the whole band pushes it into the hypertension like jam. Starts off w Stu teasing the intro of hypertension but they veer into more of jam that you'd hear deep into a normal hypertension jam, not just a medley here. Real smooth segue back into drip drip segment of Tap.

Robot Stop through the 2nd Hot Water after Hypertension is an uninterrupted hour + of music (19:10-1:21:30)
-Robot Stop has a nice chilled out, almost deadish jam segment before going into hot water
-Hot water contains a nice, heavy wall of sound build before going back into Robot Stop
-Gamma ending has a nice quiet segment w gong washes, rebuilds into a blasted out Gamma peak before rolling into People Vultures
-Really cool little quiet jam at the intro of People Vultures, bring it back into this same jam extended after the first verses. Highlight of the show jamming wise IMO, very pretty stuff. Love it when they explore this side. Kinda sounds somewhat familiar, think they may revisit this jam later in tour in other songs. Great peak after they bring it back into People Vultures, Cavs blasting it out w double bass
-Mr Beat band brings it into a nice funky groove, some great guitar interplay, lot of fluttery licks. Cut a little short but hit a fantastic space before smoothly transitioning into Iron Lung
-Iron Lung has real great interplay between the band. love Stu's tone in the jam and mix w Amby's sax near the beginning of the first jam. Killer whammy licks from Stu, melty psychedelic goodness. Wavy peaky tones in the second jam, excellent stuff. fires a few lazers before brining it back into the main iron lung riff. nice transition into Hypertension
-Hypertension jam is great, bringing back that wavering/whammy tone from Stu in the peak, almost sounds like a violin at times. Segment around Witchcraft jam meanders a bit, doesnt connect in any big way before bringing it back into caught that hypertension peak, which is stellar, blistering high. Cool hot water peak before segueing very smoothly into it.
-Hot Water truckin along hot right out of the gate. some cool synth work from Amby at the start. the water becomes less hot and loses some of its steam before bringing it all together for a great "everybody standing in" peak, gets real good when stu picks back up the guitar to finish it out.

Gila is a killer closer
