Unique segue into Cumberland Blues. A nice little adventure away from the normal Rider.

Great under the radar version. Worth a listen or 2.

Jerry's blast off at the end and the silky smooth transition to China Doll makes this one special.

The Truckin > TOO > Drums > Space> IWTYH > TOO features some great jamming. I feel like this one is flying under the radar.

I found this version quite fun and unique. The MIDI jams in Scarlet blast you way back to that 80's sound. The Brent, Jerry, and Phil interplay during the FOTM intro is fantastic. Jerry has the scratchy 80's voice but he's engaged. There were certainly harvesting the energy of the Loma Prieta earthquake on this night.
