Phew!  Thanks for reporting this John.  After reading Al's post that they
never did this during 7SDB, I starting thinking that maybe I should have
done drugs in my youth.  I know that I saw Eric do this during that song.
It was at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino CA (I don't think this
tuna-can of a concert venue exists anymore) and the only time I saw them do
7SDB live.
