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

1974: This was a treat. Only performed once-ever- on 9/25/74, with Duke on vocals. At this concert, the song arose out of the ashes of a "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" drum solo. Frank starts messing around with his guitar- playing chords- and distinctly plays the opening riff of "Zoot Allures". He messes around with this theme for about thirty seconds, before the whole band jumps headfirst into "Flambay". Upon finishing the song, the band makes a somewhat ricketey but very interesting segue back into the closing riff of "Echdina's Arf (of You)"

In Flambay comments, Foggy G says about when it's performed once, that it was sung by George Duke.

That's wrong, it was Napoleon.
