    1:26 bass solo kicks in. After back to back to back epic root-to-7 riffs, Joe launches a potent run at which point drummer Nate breaks out in a huge smile. The camera pulls back to discover Cory with a giant open-mouthed smile, and then, as the camera pulls all the way back, Mark is finally revealed to be smiling as well. It's awesome that one bass solo can bring so much joy. Music is excellent.
