A notably speedy version. "Bobby your rushin'!" Great solo by Jerry though

The segue out of He's Gone into Cryptical is cool. Jerry is disinterested in getting the lyrics correct though.

FOTM really has some stellar shredding by Jerry. Love this!

Jerry's voice is strained but the playing is exceptional!

This tasty grilled cheese and tomato sandwich envelops you with melty cheese that drips perfectly into China Doll and even more perfectly back into PITB. Gives you some nice thick slices of tomato during drums > space and then finally a buttery and toasty segue back to PITB, ending it properly.
