                                Notes
                                -----

The timing isn't apparent in the solo--I took great liberty with note
spacing.

Neither of the solo versions are the interlude from the studio
version; they're both taken from live performances.  (From the sound
of these two discs in particular, Bruhn and Bricheno traded solos a
lot.)  As far as what was really played, riffs 1 and 2 go together.
On the second disc, what should be the replacement for riff 1 (to go
with 3) was very hard to make out; riff 1 works well enough.  Ending
the solo with riff 1 makes the song sound fairly upbeat; 2 is really a
pretty depressing way to go.
