5.7.5 Rare songs from this tour

The following songs were played only once:

· 4th Time Around

· Coming From The Heart (The Road Is Long) - co written with Helena Springs but never released

· Do Right To Me Baby (Do Unto Others) - on the last show foreboding the Gospel years to come, as well as the version of Slow Train from a soundcheck

· Love You Too Much - another song written with Helena Springs

· I'll Be Your Baby Tonight

· It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry

and the following songs only twice:

· Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

· Watching The River Flow

· I Threw It All Away

Finally the new song Am I Your Stepchild? was featured regularly in the second set and the version from 13 November in Oakland was used as a music demo. No studio recording of this song has surfaced to date.

Songs from Street-Legal

All songs from the new record except New Pony and No Time To Think were played during the US part of the World Tour. Of these, only Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power) has been played in later years.

[TOP]

[1] a show is unique if no other show has the same songs in the same order

[2] a show is different from another show if the set of songs are different, regardless of order.

[3] electric and acoustic versions are counted as different songs.

[4] a song is counted as unique regardless of how it is performed.

[5] variation is computed as the ratio between number of different songs and mean number of performed songs.
