Comments

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

1973: This single performance occurs during the same show as the single performance of "Babbette", and as Jon Naurin points out in the latter's song description, the words to WTUPOYB are essentially sung over the music of "Babette".

1975-76: Essentially performed as on WOIIFTM, allowing for the obvious differences in instrumentation, and with some purposefully overdramatic singing. This tune is part three of the awesome WOIIFTM medley, and serves as an excellent precursor to the lengthy "Chunga's Revenge" jams.
