**Deep cuts** 1. Chain Lightning - Steely Dan 2. Queen of Spades - Styx 3. [Fire on High](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Ndi2HUheg) - Electric Light Orchestra 4. Piggies - The Beatles 5. Waiting On a Friend - The Rolling Stones 6. [The Embryo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsd2GSK80vs) - Pink Floyd The studio version was never released on a “regular” studio album but did appear on two or three compilations. It’s nice, atmospheric psychedelic piece. The band played it live regularly pre-_Dark Side_, and those performances just took it up to a whole new level. ---
