Beck does more--a rich screeching, waves of unearthly sound over and over, soulful wails. The fired crowd howls for more. Somebody shouts for 'Train' which is what the Yardbirds were doing in 'Blow-Up'. Beck looks at Waller taking up the challenge and they invent a melody to be called from now on 'Train'.
