10. Dreams

09. Right Now! (ick)

08. Eruption (this is a guitar solo, not a song)

07. Mean Street

06. Runnin With The Devil

05. Jump

04. Aint Talkin Bout Love

03. Hot For Teacher

07. Top Jimmy

06. Jamies Cryin

05. DOA

Little Guitars

Hot For Teacher

Runnin' With The Devil

Unchained

Dance The Night Away

Everybody Wants Some

Panama

Aint Talkin' 'Bout Love

Ice Cream Man

Poundcake (fave Sammy-era track)
