Comments

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

1979: Performed as on "Anyway the Wind Blows" from Beat the Boots Volume I, minus the nasty edit. Note the extra "Jumbo Go Away" tacked on at the end- used as a segue into "Andy"- not found on the YAWYI version. Supposedly based on a true story involving Denny Walley and a particularly large groupie.

1980: Essentially performed as on YAWYI, allowing for obvious differences in instrumentation.

1981: Essentially performed as on YAWYI.

 

Conceptual Continuity

• Number 6
• You Are What You Is ("Robbie, take me to Greek Town . . .")
• If Only She Woulda ("You took a chance/On Jumbo's love")
• Drop Dead ("Dat what Denny be doin' . . . work on Jumbo evvy time!")
