It included a thunderous drum solo ... the only one Eric ever recorded. We left the original bass, drum, and Paul's guitar as they were recorded in 1981 and overdubbed Bruce on lead guitar. We cut it down in length so that the drum solo became a featured part. We included it here because it was a chance for us all to remember how great Eric really was. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Kulick plays ESP Guitars and SIT Strings through Marshall Amps.
