Comments

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

1974: Essentially performed as on "Unmitigated Audacity" from Beat the Boots Volume I, with Brock on vocals. Compared to the "Freak Out" version, these performances are quite a bit more aggressive.

 

Conceptual Continuity

• America Drinks & Goes Home ("Caravan with a drum sola")
