Listen to the last 3 minutes of the jam before >Drums. Really unique and one of my favorite Brent solos.

Cool drum segment that drifts into a space that is kind of like Ollin Arrageed with Spanish jam licks.

Everytime this song comes up I always lament that this song could have been an amazing jam vehicle for the band. These short but jazzy '79 versions show why. I always wish the pre "Flight of the seabirds" jam was stretched out just a bit more.
