Foggy G, "The Songs That Were Played," We're Only In It For The Touring

1970: Without a doubt, the greatest cover song Frank ever performed. There is honest emotion in this piece (a Frank rarity!), thanks to some impassioned playing and singing by the why-couldn't-he-have-stayed-around-longer Harris. This is essentially performed as on "Weasels Ripped My Flesh", with an intesity that only comes with performing live. Excellent.
