Medley (Everybody Work / Twist And Shout / Shout)
Version 1 is a live band recording, from the Flevo Totaal Festival in Holland in 1989. Larry is backed by the Finnish band Q-Stone, and his brother Charles, together with several backing singers
Note that on Very Best Of 2, the medley is split into three separate tracks, and thus the reprise of Everybody Work is incorporated into Shout |

lyrics version 1
You know your flesh will make you twist and shout
