I missed the legendary ones (boring meeting, Buddy Rich rant, Nino Rota imitation) but have seen many unique ones, including a ridiculously-long "Filet of Nod" and a game of frisbee. Always memorable, except apparently to Jeff, who was surprised when I mentioned the Cake Shop "Filet of Nod"!

there's a lot of guitar, and a lot of not-guitar, on this album, and it's not always obvious which parts of the arrangements originated as guitars

Andy Moor's playing here concurrently sounds everything like his playing and nothing like a guitar
