"Balls out?" Ha, I think that got Stagger Lee in trouble.

For an 80's version, outstanding. The pace is just bubbling.

This is exactly what I want from the MNS jam. It has always reminded me of Conan the Barbarian score, "The Orgy." Before Jerry takes off I find the funniest part where he and Bob sink a line before going into it. That jam sounds like th4ey knew where it would end before it began.

Two separate sounding solos that make a great punch. Excellent pace and space to give in to the sound.

This is a go-to to get anything worked up, When that cheezy organ sound hits and Phil is right on top of it, the drums follow and the rest is too much. By the time Jerry hits the octavia it takes off - with any beat you can imagine being placed by any member of the band. Jerry goes into a ramble and the devils shake it down. This is something I play (of all music) when I'm "lying back grooving in your car." short and best executed.
