Encore 2: Drive-In Jam

Notes: Tweezer was teased in Prince Caspian. Cities contained a Mind Left Body Jam tease. The Jam in the Fourth Set started with the band playing behind the "Drive In Movie" screen that had been created for the festival. Slowly, their silhouettes became visible and the ambient jam veered towards a full on band jam while the screen simultaneously showed fractal like images of close-ups of the band. Eventually, the band was visible.
