Comments

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

1978: Essentially performed as on YCDTOSA Volume VI, accounting for obvious differences in instrumentation (meaning that this tour's version was more keyboard oriented).

1980: Esentially performed as on YCDTOSA Volume VI.
