Notes
Studio recording, 1972-1973. 'On the Run' is primarily a synthesizer-driven track, but the riff section features guitar processed through heavy effects. No evidence of live guitar performance for this part; all references are to the studio version.

The riff is technically simple but requires tight timing and clean execution to blend with the sequenced synths and effects-heavy soundscape.
