one for the road
 

This video shows the band at its energetic best — Jeff thumps the harmonium with gusto, Lem sways frenetically and Paul is his typical forceful self. The usually subdued Vic even throws his guitar once in a while.
    The group is featured playing on roadside locations amidst scenes of traffic and roads. The song — never released on record — is a long-ish, rocking, bluesy number similar in style to The Doors' Roadhouse Blues, and features a jam session in which the band members clearly revel.
    Jeff's keyboard work shines in particular and the song closes with some electrifying guitar work by Vic. It is a great example of  how Christie could perform more than just standard pop songs on stage. Perhaps the political incorrectness of the song — "Give me one more drink, one more for the road" — was the reason it was not made available to the public.
