Section 1 (0:00-2:48) ls a driving and uplifting song. It contalns overdubs of backing vocals and tambourine.
Section 2 (2:48-6:17) Is heard exactly as it was first played. The lyrics are some of the best of the recordings, and TIm can also be heard calling out chord changes throughout the section.
Section 3 (6:17-8:24) is the most heavily edited of the sections, with the section opening with the band slipping into a more melancholy feeling, stopping abrupty with a small loop from the Association's "Cherish", Iasting for four messures. The song then creeps back into the earller part, and is then mixed in with a later, more raucous section followed with Phil Carats playing with a grape Slurpee.
Section 4 (8:24-10:36) was recorded when the band was notified that there was only two minutes length of recording tape left. Thls song also contains added backing vocals, with the singers dapping thelr hands at the Introduction. The eariler Association loop Is then revislted, Introducing...
Section 5 (10136-14:05) Never My Love.
Section 6 (14:05-17:55) Tripping Dalsy gliding through another amotionally stimulating place which Ils heard as it was first played, beginning to end.
Section 7 (17:55-22:04) While this song is not improvised, it was recorded very shortly after It as created. Very lighthearted, it is a very pleasant and memorable way to end this listening experlence.
