Same hair, revolution,
Same build, evolution...  

Notes: “Westerberg and company did get a bit loose and creative. Responding to a request, they played part of “Election Day” for the first time on the tour. And the most fascinating oddity of the night was their attempt to play the songs “Androgynous” and “Seen Your Video” at the exact same time. Certainly not a perfect moment, but it was an ingenious bit of punk spontaneity.” - Philadelphia City Paper
