Billy's doing some interesting stuff on the drums here! And excellent solo from Jer! Vocals too!

74 versions really captured the western tone well. Short and sweet.

Jerry calls for Bertha then proceed to royally flub the lyrics LOL. Solid bouncy version though.

Phil and Brent really escalate the dance party factor of this tune in later years. Great performance this night. Just sheer fun. Comes to awk end.

Such a badass tune. This performance is a classic. On point. Love Donna’s vox on “calllinn’ youuuu”

That intro tho. This is a good one. A few weird flubs. Haven't quite nailed it yet, but they were damn close. The sound quality is insane on this show.

Agree with Young Head here. I love Donna, and mostly disagree with those whiny woman hatin' Heads who complain about her, however, this is really special as a Jerry only song. That aside, the band navigates you pristinely through every emotion that this tune is meant to convey. Wonderful performance and easily a favorite Wharf Rat of mine, if not my own #1.

Flanked by a monster of a Dark Star, but this MAMU can hold its own. Killer one here, played about as well as they could play it.
