Malmsteen commented:

“Playing live in front of people is really what it’s all about. It’s exciting and dangerous because you have to take risks and there’s no fixing afterwards.”

You can find a clip of “Top Down, Foot Down” from the effort below. Malmsteen added the following about that:

“‘Top Down, Foot Down’ is one of my favorite live numbers, C#m arpeggios into E arpeggios and a fluid C#m melody with flat 5th diminished and suspended resolution. The title also depicts my love of convertible cruising.”
