Thin Ice (Live in Alcova Heights)

Conquering Gravity (Live in Alcova Heights)

This started as a nice uptempo four-chord power rock song (with a lovely E major twist on the fourth chord.) Then John came along and turned the song into a prog-rock masterpiece with an extended time-shifting 4/4 – 7/8 outro.
