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

1973: This song as we know it from "Apostrophe" essentially appears on this tour in its entirety, with Marquez on vocals, and with the song arriving in its typical spot after "St. Alphonso's". For this tour, however, things proceed a little differently after the "Good Morning, Your Highness" section- the section which either serves as the end of the studio version, or as the segue into "Rollo" in the YCDTOSA version. In these performances, the band returns to the beginning of "St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast" after the "Good Morning" section, performing the opening motif before Frank steps forth and says something to the effect of "Play it really really fast". At this point, the band then repeats the vocal section of "St. Alphonso's", slowing down and leading into "Mar-juh-rene" at the end of the lyrics.

1974 Jul-Dec: Essentially played as on "Apostrophe". Always played as part four of the four part "Don't Eat" suite. During the "Good morning, your highness" section, the band would continue to vamp on this theme once the vocals were sung, at which point Frank would usually make the closing band introductions, or annnounce a segue into the next song.

1978: Essentially performed as on "Saarbrucken" from Beat the Boots Volume I. This song was always performed as part four of the five part Don't Eat suite.

1979: Essentially performed as on YCDTOSA Volume I, and always appeared as part four of the five part Don't Eat Suite.
