[The Horrible Esthete]

And Fight!!!!!
Why the hell is this song not played every damn show.

That they never play this has always bothered me a great, great deal. I can't understand it. It's almost like they want to forget they ever wrote it or put it on a record. But why? It's among the best things they've done.

Whatever the answer is, it must somehow relate to the subject of my other Great Bother in regard to TTH: the gradual and incremental de-emphasis of the Bobby Baker "lead" in the context of a dual-guitar, five-piece rock outfit. Something changed somewhere along the line, and it happened earlier in the band's tenure rather than later.

Anyway...."Fight" is the only song I'm chasing. Having seen somewhere in the ballpark of 60 shows, I've seen almost every studio cut performed; if I haven't seen something, I obviously don't care enough about it to know that I haven't. There's a possibility that I even DID see them do "Fight" somewhere here in Ohio in the very early '90s, yet somehow do not recall? I doubt it, but it's possible.

And I cannot check setlists, because few exist for those earlier shows in the states....
