No, @vonbontee, because that’s a single performance sung in the round. I’m talking songs where all four individually took the lead vocal (I think George’s counts because it’s a split vocal rather than duet, with George taking the second half of the song himself and Taj dropping back onto harmonica).
There’s a few songs you can get to three of them performing. There’s probably at least another couple that all four have done at one time or another. And they’ll probably be covers because it’s the teenage record collection you tend to drop back into.
