 Could be any number of 1980 era shows. This is commonly referred to on many
 bootlegs as "The Story of Joe".

 Thats from a soundcheck in 1977 at an unknown club. I have it on an old bootleg
 cassette from about 1987 along with House of Pain, Runnin' With The Devil, an
 instrumental version of On Fire and the above chatter and song. These versions of
 Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love and On Fire appear out of sequence on the "Dave is Back,
 Rarest Covers and Demos" bootleg CD.

 Coincidently, the above which happens inbetween the songs "Walk Away" and "I Live
 With Fools" (old title for Fools) is on the other side of the above bootleg
 cassette. The notes list this as being "a small club" and it certainly sounds
 pretty small from the dozen or so people you can hear in the audience.

 You're right, I have no fucking clue about baseball. I just think that
 the record is meaningless if the guy who's record is being broken didn't
 have the added advantage of androstenedione. It just doesn't seem fair
 to me.

 HA!
 
 I've got to agree with Brad on this one. One of the music shop's here
 has a gold Wolfie Special, and it is one of the ugliest guitars I have
 ever seen! Although, it is the only Wolfie Special I've ever seen up
 close (Apart from Ed's!), so I can't really compare it to the black or
 white.

 That and the late 80's "Hey, Hey Hey" chorus make this song totally forgettable
 in my opinion. What really baffles me is why they chose to play this song
 consistently throughout the tour instead of the far superior "Ballot or the
 Bullet". "Fire in the Hole" isn't even improved upon played live like any of the
 other songs from "3". I really wish Van Halen had dumped this song and One I Want
 for Dirty Water Dog, Once or From Afar and Ballot on this tour.

 << Hello everybody,
  			Alrighty, here's some questions/oppions/thoughts on the Wolfie Special.
  I've sat around looking at the to brochures of the EVH Wolfie and the EVH
  Wolfie Special and I've come to like the EVH Special more. I've come to
  realize that it's as good as the EVH Wolfie without the arch, birds eye
 maple,
  and tone pot. I like the guitar as much as the EVH Wolfie and being 16 the
 EVH
  Wolfie Special seems like a better investment. Now, I've also come to like
 the
  fact that the EVH Wolfie Special is missing the tone pot. It adds some more
  tone and volts in there. Here's the quetions. I called up Absolute Music
  (Fairborn, OH) today and badgered the guy 'bout the Wolfie Special. He
 finally
  gave me $749 for a price. Is there anywhere out there that has gone below
 this
  price? Is this a fair price? Here's another set of questons. I haven't seen a
  Wolfie Special in Gold yet and he said that he likes the Gold finish better
  than the Black. I'm either going to get the Gold or Black. Which one looks
  better? He said that the Gold looked killer on it and I would like to get out
  of the "cheapy" Black finish area (no insult meant there to those that own
  'em). What do you guys think?

 Well, I haven't seen one of the Specials in gold yet. All of them I've seen
 have been black. But there have been a couple of goldtop regular Wolfgangs
 in town (there's a hardtail one at Paragon Music right now) and it's sweet.
 Much nicer than the goldtop on the Les Paul reissues.

 That ain't it, Glenn! Bono can't go across the bridge without the torch!
 
 This *can* be solved. But I only know how because I posted the exact
 same thing to the list a few months ago when I couldn't figure it out,
 and a few people solved it.
 
 Try again!
