Comments

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

1974 (May): Essentially performed as on "Unmitigated Audacity" from Beat the Boots Volume I, with Brock on vocals.

1974 (Jul-Dec): Another leftover from the "Ten Years of Mothers" tour. This was essentially played as on "Unmitigated Audacity" from Beat the Boots volume one, allowing for obvious differences in instrumentation.

• Trouble Every Day? ("Chokin' in the heat")
• Son Of Suzy Creamcheese
