Comments

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

1978: Essentially performed as on "Saarbrucken" from Beat the Boots Volume I. Take note of the evocative Denny Walley slide- a nice touch that makes this version tops in my book.

1979: Performed as on "Anyway the Wind Blows" from Beat the Boots Volume I.

1980 Mar-Jul: Essentially performed as on YAWYI, allowing for obvious differences in instrumentation, and lacking the poignant bite of Denny's slide.

1980 Oct-Dec: Essentially performed as on YAWYI, with Denny's slide being sorely missed.

1981-82: Essentially played as on YAWYI, and like I have said before, Denny Walley's slide is sorely missed.

1984: Essentially played as on "You Are What You Is", with the obvious differences in the instrumental accompaniment. Denny Walley's slide is sorely missed on this tune.

1988: Essentially performed as on YAWYI, allowing for obvious differences in instrumentation.
