The following 4 sections, IMO, are what makes this an excellent show. Lots of D n B and jungle trance in the 2nd but Set 1 is where the macaroni meets the cheese.
''B & C Floodlights ~> I-Man ~> RLH ~> I-Man Stone ~> Waltz ~> Afro Blue ~> Basis''
again, take the mics instead of the board. If you can, a matrix here would be great as the audience and chatter is loud.
>~> Hippies are more than potheads, music freaks and bohemians, for there is an underlying
philosophy of self-sufficiency and ongoing efforts to restore the planet, one small plot of land at a
time. Don't forget sharing food and shelter and the spiritual side of being in tune with creation and
restoration; helping one another out, and most important, being kind, not only to those you know
and love, but also strangers who live in pain and misery. <~<~
Much Love.

Track Notes
- S1I-Man
The jam out of the first jam section begins as very mellow trance, but Magner quickly incorporates the Gates of Hell synth and some of his other abrasive effects. Barber uses a cool distortion that creates an excellent complementary effect. After a tense theme it moves through more blissful territory and then builds up to a sinister crescendo. After a breakdown, it builds up to a short Run Like Hell intro.
- S1Run Like Hell
An unusually long mid-verse jam, which incorporates atypical percussive patterns and repetitive trance synths and vocal samples from Magner. It has a darkly foreboding mood, shifting to bliss territory as it returns to the second verse. The jam features thunderous percussion and abrasive Magner synth effects. It stays in this territory as Magner returns to more melodic synths, and the jam builds up to a thrilling crescendo that comes crashing into the middle section of I-Man.
- S1Bernstein and Chasnoff
A unique version. Where most B&C jams featured a (sometimes extensive) detour through sinister territory, this jam breaks down to an atonal passage before the buildup to familiar territory.
- S2Basis For A Day
The main jam is spectacular, and vaguely sinister. Various themes build off of each other, while Sammy’s drum work keeps the jam moving. After a small breakdown, Magner develops an excellent theme on the trance synths that builds in intensity for the rest of the jam, and a couple minutes later he begins to incorporate the Gates of Hell. Paradoxically, the key change comes shortly after. The jam builds to a phenomenal Basis peak.
