TD performed Cherokee Lane and Monolight, or some variants thereof, at every concert in 1977. The released version of Monolight has been identified as being recorded in Washington, D.C. on 4 April. The spoken introduction of the album also comes from here. A fantape of this complete concert was officially released as a part of the Bootleg Box Set vol. 2 in 2004. (Two other tracks, named "Monolith" and "Drywater Rush" on Tangerine Tree volume 4 and subsequently also on the Bootleg Box, were also played in some form from concert to concert, but were not included on Encore.) With regards to Coldwater Canyon, Edgar Froese has been quoted[3] as saying that the track was played only once, during the tour's leg in southwestern United States.
After a slightly experimental wind effect / organ intro, Cherokee Lane settles into a hypnotic sequencer / mellotron improvisation. Monolight starts with a piano improvisation, followed by a short melodic piece (called just "Encore" on the single release) set to a march-like rhythm. After this, a more typical sequence is brought in and TD return to improvisation, tangenting the main themes to the title track from their previous studio album Stratosfear, and "Betrayal" from their soundtrack album Sorcerer. This section was on the 1994 compilation Tangents subtitled "Yellow Part". The track ends with another piano section, this time a version of the ending from Stratosfear's final track "Invisible Limits"; which, in turn, is based on L. v. Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". Coldwater Canyon plunges headfirst into another sequence-based improvisation with a very choppy rhythm, laced with extensive guitarwork from Froese.
In contrast to the other three tracks, "Desert Dream" turns out to be a collage of older, more atmospheric material, including leftover material from previous studio albums as well as parts of the group's soundtrack to the play Oedipus Tyrannus, recorded live in Chicester in August 1974.
