Footnotes

I-Man - Monster show-opening 32-minute version. This is an all-around great I-Man, but the highlight is the 2nd jam. Right off the bat, Brownie comes up with a nifty staccato riff, while Barber and Magner create a blissful soundscape. Allen transitions into a halftime dub feel. After a few minutes of this chill airy vibe, they do a 180 and shift into the parallel minor for an in-your-face dirty dub jam. Rockstar Barber wails on the guitar while Allen deploys some aggressive fills, backed by Magner and Brownie playing in unison. And suddenly Barber plays his composed descending I-Man lick over this evil dub jam, and it is a perfect transition back into the parallel major for a great I-Man ending.
