China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
unheralded standout from MSG hot rocking Brent era China->Rider

To Lay Me Down
Wrenching.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Bobby colors this one finely and Jer dishes the backup vocals and riffs perfectly - they nail the changes to make this one glow. (matrix)

Terrapin Station
The Devils go totally tribal after they take this down to pin drop quiet and at the end JG cranks the rusty blade.

Drums -> Space
Way ahead of it's time - wow - repeat.

Birdsong has left the building... only to return to earth, center stage
