Bass Solo (includes Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 903: I. Fantasia and Naima) 6. Fannie Mae (with Royal Blue) Notes: The first known recording of the presumably untitled piano piece that I've dubbed "Unknown Original 19840218." All bass solos of what is presumably show 1 are performed over the same loop. The "Soul Intro / The Chicken" bassline briefly quotes "Black Market." "America the Beautiful" bass solo is backed by percussion-playing, but like with the February 19, 1984 solos, can't be considered a duet. This is the only recorded performance of "Elegant People" after the 1982 big band concerts.
