Default What did Dave Walker sing in concert?

So here is a question that has been puzzling me for a while. We know that Dave was only in the band for such a short time, but obviously he did live concerts with FM. So other than perhaps singing The Derelict and (I'm A) Roadrunner, what else did he do?

Did he sing other songs in concert? Did he just run around the stage bashing a tambourine and singing backing vocals (reminds me of someone else)?

At that time he was one of three main vocalists in the band so it would be fair to assume he would have taken up more of the lead vocal duties than two songs?

Anyone know?

Having seen this particular lineup play in London and looking at some reviews of that tour of the UK, the following songs were sung by Dave.

Oh Well
The Green Manalishi
Rattlesnake Shake
Going Down
Same old Blues
Palace of the King
(The last three being Freddie King songs)

I also recall them playing a great version of SR and the Miracles 'You Really Got a Hold On Me' with Christine, Bob Welch and Dave supplying the vocals. Bob Weston played some really good slide guitar on various numbers and the band went down rather well with the audience I seem to recall.

Going Down, by Walker's admission, was occasionally an encore during that tour. He mentions it in his Q and A.

I so wish we had bootlegs of these shows. Such rare moments.
