A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

El Fantastico. Appears on the expanded version of the first studio album, in case anyone is in doubt.

Is this possibly the version on the 2-disc version of Birth of the Dead? If so, I agree. Pure blues.

Monotonous.

It's pretty loose and sloppy, but it works. Extra country twang added for your shitkickin' enjoyment.

Capitol Theater

This is really tight, and the sound mix on the Rhino release is nothing short of spectacular. I can't imagine a better version; I certainly like it better than Thelma. Mixing done by Jeffrey Norman.
