Greatest Story Ever Told
Electrifying and high-power jams, with some of the weirdest sounds Donna ever made. Great fun and a wild ride.

Hits that sweet spot between a shuffle and a ballad. Slight tinniness to Jer's Mike on my copy gives a nice swirling trippiness to it.

Truckin'
Absolute fire blues here. This is crushed, awesome version from an awesome show
