Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

5/22 and 5/28 are the definitive sugarees... and within 6 days of each other! May 77 was nuts.

Raceway Park

This is hands down one of the most energetic promised lands I've heard. Balls-out.

BEAST Estimated. With regards to Donnie, sounds like you're a bit salty about people's preference of the 70s over the 90s... hard to imagine why over 2/3 of the band's released output is from the Pigpen/Keith era...

Ya, Donna sounds amazing here. Definitive version of this tune, although not a heavy hitter tune, it's still really beautiful
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
