First Mauricio version. Sammy's bass work is far more than competent, and the core three craft excellent atmosphere around Mauricio's digital percussion. The somewhat somber jam builds up to a triumphant crescendo, with Magner's powerful synth lead in the forefront of the jam.

Debut. The band carves an impressive jam section out of a relatively rigid composition. Stylistically, the jam begins with some similarities to a Don jam: a kind of blissful driving trance progression. The jam is ambient and atmospheric at times, complemented by the guest violinist, and builds to a pleasant crescendo before Sammy signals the return to EKN.

Debut. The jam quickly settles into a melancholy trance groove, which gradually shifts, as the playing intensifies, back to the triumphant Story territory.

Debut. Composition is still very raw, but the jam section is not. Although it is a bit slower than modern versions, and although Magner's distinctive synth bass riffs stick out like a sore thumb, this is in essence a mature 7-11 jam. Beginning around the 7 minute mark, the 7-11 theme begins to break down, dismantling itself almost completely before it builds up to a Spaga ending jam.
