In the Moonlight is a very strong moment.

In the Moonlight has one of my favorites solos in the catalog.

[stip]

there is a such a strong combination of beauty, joy, innocence, protectiveness, and wistfulness in that Wishlist solo. It's one of the most emotionally rich and complex performances Mike has recorded. It's a subtle, but remarkable piece, and builds off the narrative of the song in a powerful way.

I don't remember how the In the Moonlight solo sounds. Hold on...

Yeah, that's a pretty cool slow burn solo, but it sort of exists to sound good. that's not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination, but wishlist is doing so much more.

I absolutely adore that Wishlist solo - note perfect.
