“Mike’s Song” 10.29 II, Tallahassee, FL
A percussion-drenched “Houses in Motion” jam laces the latter part of this jam in the final show before their seminal “Remain In Light” Halloween set.

“The Great Curve” 10.31 II, Atlanta, GA
Speaking of “Remain in Light,” I saw this Tweet yesterday and I immediately agreed.
