Comments

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

1975-76: This tune is performed as an instrumental this time round. It usually arises out of the "Ship Ahoy" section of "Zoot Allures", with Frank leading the way on guitar. Bozzio and Estrada pick up the trail, with Brock finally joining in by playing the vocal melody line on sax. The song is not played in its entirety, but essentially serves as an outro to the "Zoot Allures" monsters.

1980 Mar-Jul: Essentially performed as on YCDTOSA Volume VI, allowing for obvious differences in instrumentation.

1980 Oct-Dec: Essentially performed as on YCDTOSA Volume VI.

1982: Essentially played as on YCDTOSA Volune VI, accounting for obvious differences in instrumentation.
