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

1981-82: Can Ray White sing, or what? Essentially played as on YCDTOSA Volume III, with the standard deviations coming in the somewhat standard solos. For me, this short, rotating solo format- which Frank also used in the '80's "Suicide Chumps"- simply does not work. As we know from the Monster Songs, Frank's band members are capable of soloing at length while maintaining a high interest level, and thus there is no reason to limit their solos. By the time the soloists get any momentum built up, the plug is pulled and we're on to the next person. I believe that this song would have been better served by one lengthier, more intense solo (be it guitar, keyboards, sax), or a more elaborately wriiten vocal part. Other than that, I love this tune.

1984: Get down, Ray! Essentially played as on YCDTOSA Volume III, with the standard deviation coming in the solos. One of Ray White's better vocal excursions on this or any tour. While he was with us, Brock also had his own vocal excursion, taking a very weird vocal solo during the middle solo section.
