    Some awesome, unpredictable improv kicking in around 4:22. Everyone is having a good time, Josh is enjoying the gristlemaster's random cover lick diversions, ends up just letting him just run around the yard for a minute, then it settles into some more traditional, awesome call and response -- but still with some tasty outside elements tossed in. Fittingly, it winds down in true sasquatchian random fashion with some more unexpected cover licks tossed into the mix. Really entertaining and unpredictably delicious playing all around. For any working pro, I'm sure Greg is a delight to play with, but also a little bit scary - but in a totally good way! Top-notch musicianship all over that stage, btw.
