While we are on the subject, I have never seen one of my favorite PWAP songs
listed on a setlist before..."Someone Else To Blame".   I don't have it on
any of the 100+ shows I have.  I'm sure they tried it out back in 1981 (a
little before my Oil exposure as I was only 10), but since there aren't too
many shows from that time period floating around, that's probably why I've
never seen it.
