We opened our early shows with a "no pause" 4 song mini-set where the lead vocal rotated on each song. The bass player sang this one.
We played it for a few years, then resurrected it several years later with a whole new vocal arrangement.
Because it was a 2 guitar song, I chose to play keyboards on it.
We did a few songs off "11" in the intervening years too.
I know I was bummed when I read Pat died. He was, I think, only 62 when he died.
