Comments

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

1973: Essentially performed as on "Overnite Sensation", with the standard deviation coming in Frank's solo. Frank performs all the vocals himself this time round, which definitely lessens the effect of many of the sections. Also, several lines of lyrics are missing throughout the song, either not having been written at this point, or due to Frank realizing that he just cannot sing them.

1982: Essentially performed as on YCDTOSA Volume I, with the standard deviation coming in Frank's solo.

1988: Essentially performed as on TBBYNHIYL, with the standard deviation coming in Frank's solo. This is another of the long lost Zappa classics, which thankfully saw the light-of-concert-day every so often in the '80's.
