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

1984: By the time tour was over, this song sounded like what we have on YCDTOSA Volume IV. But man did it seem like it took a long time to get there. Maybe it's just me (I LOVE the Volume IV version), but early performances of this song reeked. To begin with, Brock did the vocal chores, and after several lines, you can tell why he was given the choice of an aisle or a window. The band, for the most part, pretty much had the many changes of this song down from the beginning, but the transition into the solo was really shaky in the early months. It was almost as if the entire song fell apart once we reached the solo section. And Frank's solos just didn't cut the mustard early on. Interesting to see the evolution of the song, and very worthwhile considering the end product. If you are looking for other performances of this tune, go for ones later in the tour. You are better off.
