with 'Baby You're a Rich Man' (The Beatles) tease
The Spaga DnB jam starts off with a somber tone for the first few minutes. Magner with some strange sound effects. They transition to major mode for a blissful airy vibe. Magner uses a flute patch and teases The Beatles’ “Baby You’re a Rich Man,” while Barber adds flavors of House Dog. After peaking this bliss jam, they shift gears entirely and go to the relative minor for a menacing sound. Barber uses a distortion filter, Magner with psychedelic ambiance, Allen with a punishing bass drum pulse. The band is locked in for this evil groove. After several minutes of this aggressive fast tempo, they briefly go into halftime for a more chill dub feel. Allen goes double-time again as the darkness returns and the intensity builds. Magner’s sustained notes signal that the Waves peak is coming. Barber now uses a clean tone for some groovy soloing. Suddenly the band shifts to major for a brief triumphant moment, then go back to minor as Barber wails and they drop into the Waves peak.

Somber dnb turns tense and harried in the middle of the jam before building to a gorgeous Barber theme. Sammy signals the Spaga ending, but the band doesn’t follow suit, and he leads a segue into Munchkin instead.

2001-08-26Kahunaville
Wilmington, DE

A tense, brooding jam that takes its time departing from Spaga territory. As it settles down, the band moves into more blissful territory. The jam reaches a full-band crescendo over top of Peter and the Wolf teases, and segues masterfully into Confrontation.

Magner’s subdued synth lines take center stage of this minimalist jam. Sammy intersperses some slower grooves in with the breakbeats, until he eventually shifts the tempo toward M.E.M.P.H.I.S. The jam retains the melancholy disposition of Spaga until it reaches a crescendo and breaks down.

After very standard first and second jams, the outro catapults the listener into outer space. Barber locks into a complementary theme almost immediately, and filters it through a cool “underwater” effect.

Spaga > Shem-Rah Boo
A definitive version to open a legendary show. Magner leads the jam for the first half with a haunting synth line, and Barber comes in in the second half. Sammy signals the ending before Barber can properly level the building, but this is still an all-timer.

Spaga > Floes
The Spaga jam begins in familiar territory, but Magner soon latches onto an incredible theme that he holds for several minutes, featuring some of his most expressive synth work. The flute patch helps settle the jam down, and it begins to rebuild into a more driving psychedelic groove. The jam segues into Floes masterfully without any need to slow down.

New Haven, CT
S2
Haunting and ethereal Magner synths characterize the first part, while Sammy holds a light breakbeat rhythm and Barber plays some mournful notes. Magner introduces the flute patch after a few minutes, and the jam becomes more chaotic as Brownstein latches onto an evil rhythm. The jam builds to a furious crescendo culminating in a fantastic Spaga ending.

Princeton, NJ
S2
The jam starts as a mellow dnb vehicle, patient and ethereal, with Magner on atmospheric synths and Barber settling into a simple theme immediately. Magner joins in on the trance synths and before long the jam has shifted into a full-blown trance jam. The jam builds up around a simple Magner theme (to which he layers on the flute patch synth to great effect) building up to a huge Waves peak.
