The track "Waitin' for the Bus" segues into "Jesus Just Left Chicago" almost seamlessly. Houston Chronicle entertainment writer Andrew Dansby wrote in 2013 that this fusing of the songs was not the original plan. Dansby claimed that the album's engineer was splicing tape and cut too much, leaving no gap between the songs. The album's engineer Terry Manning, who performed the edit, counter-claimed in a 2017 blog post that it was no accident. Manning admitted that although it was not planned, as an engineer he was "always looking very carefully at the timings between songs ... counting time, feeling how different time sigs go together, different keys, different feels". Manning wrote that he "tried several things to see how those two [songs] would go together" when it dawned on him that they could "come together as one song, exactly as if played that way." Manning wrote that when he initially presented the edit, Billy Gibbons loved it, while the album's producer Bill Ham was confused and wary of it. "[A]fter several plays," he wrote, "it was obvious (to) everyone that there was no other way they could ever exist again."
