Several of the tunes recorded during these June studio sessions were added to the live book when Davis resumed touring, e.g. "Black Satin," "Rated X," and "Ife." Davis continued to perform "Ife" (named after James Mtume Forman's daughter) until 1982.
"Ife" evolved as it was performed during this period: the jaunty ten-note ascending-descending vamp that is the basis of the tune here was supplemented (and soon replaced) by a simpler four-note riff. In 1972 live performances, the tune typically begins with the latter riff and shifts to the former. By early 1973 the simpler riff (with a slower tempo) has replaced it completely.
