1986) features an otherwise unavailable live version of "Miserable
Lie" taken from the Opollo Theatre, Oxford concert of 18 March 1985.
Well, everyone, that is all I am willing to type. The book
contains track listings for the boots he knew of at the time of
publication; there are pages of them. It also has a listing of all
live shows that were recorded, and the song order played. Let me
know if there is a certain boot you are interested in, I will look
it up, and get back to you. Later, and enjoy.
