GS: This started off its life as a one man studio jam for my "Water From The Moon" album in 12/86. For Cold Sky, I solidified and added to the arrangement, including parts for short drum, bass, and eventually keyboard solos. This was the only song to carry over from Cold Sky to Dog Neutral, and we frequently opened sets with it. Doing this piece with Jugalbandi was a bit of a challenge because it really was meant to have at least one other instrument. We tried to make up for this by playing it as fiercely as possible.
HS: Even in Dog Neutral I always tried to play "Clear Day" as fiercely as I could. In spite of a few clams here, I've always liked the Cobham-esque drum part. When we began playing this piece in DN I improvised a different 8-bar drum break at each performance, but soon realized that it would sound better composed, so I worked one out that I liked and have played it note-for-note ever since (including here).
