During the song there is a, I guess percussion sounds like a double clicking thing, is that Charlie or someone else....

It was the drum platform locking into place...it was the last second safety check.If you recall, the stage had the rotating platform with the drum kit sitting on it...it would rotate around 360 degrees so the poor sods w/ the restricted (read NO VIEW!) could catch a 30 second glimpse of the show during the last two songs...thats what $10.50 got you back then...that and a view of Jaggars ass in the cherry picker too!!!

By 1981...Charlie had stopped making all double clicking sounds seconds before the opening songs...
