    My favorite tune from the album. All the solos are bananas and JT‘s Texas Shuffle is soooo tasty!

    Completely epic! Love all the influences in this track. James Brown horns and bridge modulation, Steely Dan changes under second guitar solo, then a practically Dream Theatre'esque prog-rock shuffle on the outro with the completely outrageous keyboard solo. And dig the seamless handoffs between the 3 drummers!

      No, no, not Dream Theatre, I mean, they don't even have this sound. I wouldn't compare them with DT.

      No, I don't think so, I mean, DT is so damn boring to even compare them to Snarky Puppy. Boring and without feeliing.

    I'm so glad to see this after hearing it so much. Gotta say, it's kind of fun trying to pick out who did what by ear, but its even better seeing it.
