This material sums up those songs performed at the three circulating "Balls Of Fire" shows from 1986. Peter's involvement in Balls Of Fire would be a particularly unhappy period of his life, and these songs probably do not represent the whole corpus of material the band performed/rehearsed, and possibly demoed. It is not clear whether Peter was ever part of any studio sessions with the band to record originals, though the band did have a demo to give Peter's manager which got him involved in the first place. Jane registered the copyright of a 5 song "Balls Of Fire" demo in 1987, with all material written by Jane Booke, John Pakalenka, Mike Seifrit, and Bob Raylove.

Regardless, by the end of 1986 he was no longer a member the band. Several live shows from the band's early performances do circulate and should be noted for the inclusion of "Feel Like Heaven" and Peter's refusal to perform a drum solo (From the "KISS & Related Recordings Focus, © 2007 - Julian Gill).
