[I'm In Great Shape: Take 1]

Brian:
You know the note, ah... Hey, Van?

Van:

Brian:
...Ab that you're coming up with on? ...hit that much easier. In fact, play that an octave lower

Brian:
Alright, fine. Okay, let me overdub to that. Here it goes

Van:
One, two, three, four, five, six...

[I'm In Great Shape: Take 36]

Brian:
