  This track was recorded at the late show in Vancouver, British Columbia, on December 18, 1984 (not November as stated in the booklet). It is another solo from "Let's Move To Cleveland", played on the custom Strat, over a one-chord loop.
  Canada Customs is well-known for hassling foreign musicians. FZ commented on this as early as 1969 ("...the way they hassled us coming through customs to get into your ridiculous country, they would have grabbed that film and smoked it before you ever got a chance to see it") and improvised a whole routine about it with Napoleon Murphy Brock and André Lewis in 1975 ("You Americans will just have to learn that whenever you cross the border into somebody else's country, you have to be humble. And part of the process of making you humble is taking your pants off and showing your bunghole to one of the inspectors here").

  Is this related in any way with "The Air"? What film does he refer to?
