After ten minutes of Feedback (feedback from amps, acoustic and electronic
avant gardeness) they break into a capella:
   "Lay down my dear brothers. Lay your head on the Savior's breast. We all
love you but Jesus loves you the best. And we bid you goodnight.goodnight."

 That same album side also features excellent blues song by Rev.Gary Davis
called "Death Don't Have No Mercy"

And "St.Steven" on Live Dead and on Aoxomoxoa has lyrics that make sense with
what is known of the real St.Steven who was stoned(not a bad pun).
