Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
May 22, 1982
Greek Theatre - University of California

A typically strong version for the early Brent era- the lost sailor has a dark edge to it which i like.Bobbys vocals are on point as is always the case,hes a really good singer on the sly(!)
Deal

Greek Theatre - University of California

Great version- Jerry really lays some mean guitar work here- Strong vocals too-Jerry still has his vocal chords intact here..Smokin....This should have miles more than 4 measly votes, come on Deal fans!

Best 80s China Rider ive heard in quite a while..Plenty of Bass, suits me fine and Bobs really goin for it vocally during the Rider...Great energy all round.

The wheel always has that blissful intro that i love and as said above,that vibe carries the whole song- great stuff,during any era.
