Never knew this happened. Who the hell is singing lead? Setlist says Joan Jett and Mr. T(!!!!) guested on a bunch of songs. Mid 80s were fucking weird.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Jello Biafra used to wake up with terrorsweats in the 80s, knowing that was happening.

I was going to make a Mr. T doing the Beach Boys joke, but it would basically just be a spin on the "Mr. E.T" joke from The Simpsons.

I was at the D.C. show! My first ever concert. I was about 4 1/2 months old.

I'd kill for the full video of that concert. Kill Hoy, mostly.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

He better not have pitied you. We take care of our own 'round here, and don't take no fool-pitying from outsiders.
