Comments:

Touring versions from Foggy G's We're Only In It For The Touring:

1980 Oct-Dec
Essentially performed as on "Tinseltown Rebellion", with the standard deviation coming in Frank's middle-of-the-song tirade. While this middle portion is essentially the same each performance, Frank did occasionally deviate from the standard script to comment on band happenings or the stupidity of audience members. While this deviation is only occasional on this tour, it would increase on subsequent tours.

1981-82
Essentially played as on "Tinseltown Rebellion", accounting for obvious differences in instrumentation, and with the standard deviation coming in Frank's middle-of-the-song tirade. Like "Billy the Mountain" years earlier, Frank incorporated knowledge of local areas and daily band happenings into his vocal parts, giving each performance its own unique flavor despite the similarities in music and structure.
