The first group of titles is announced as "Falling," the last pair as "Country Dance" and Silvercloud." Osborne may play only on "Mountain Home" -- the fragment of an announcement following the tune mentions S.O.S., though the rhythm section is clearly audible during the tune. These performances are probably not all from the same day. From the sound of the music, Levin is the drummer on the first medley, and Martin on the second.
