Having played track # 20 (Diamond Head) the band says goodbye and leaves the stage. But the applause is so strong that the band has to return to the stage for one more song: Caravan. This is a long track, because it includes a long drum solo by Leon Taylor, who plays with the same energy and power as his father Mel Taylor.
