The sister's played this live in 81 - 84, usually as the final song, and Andy E would leave the stage after the lyrics had finished, while the bassist and guitarist would roar on, all to the pounding drum machine. The song would eventually end with the guitars left onstage, feeding back, while the beat pounded on. I had one good bootleg of a German gig with about 2 minutes at the end where everyone's left stage and it's just the rising and falling feedback over the drum machine. I think those 2 minutes were the closest to the VU original: just distortion and rhythm.
