This shouldn't be too much of a shocker, it's Sping 78, a perfect year for Row Boy. aud recording(sounds fine)

I'm going to assume this version is new to the site because nobody has heard it

Holy shit Cuca! You are correct - strongest JS of '72 IMO. I called your bluff and you got me. This is a real solid version(are they in a studio? ;)). The jam reminds me of 5/8/77(Bass/Lead Guitar) and 5/11/77(Drummers/Guitars) but with more crunch. Well done. Check this out folks. I CAN DANCE TO THIS

By the way if any thinks any Europe 72 version rocks harder than this grizzly bear of a song than you can fuck right off, Shannon. I know I know it's all Donna's fault.... Also that offer I made to Cuca is open for anyone willing. There's no pay. There's no work. You have potential of bringing cheer to fellow new and old heads thru submitting 2-4 selections every two weeks. It's going to be a newsletter/twitter dedicated to providing the public with quality recordings(shitty auds with great music might be better than great SBD and bad music). I need specialists in all 30 of the years. Any 90s specialists out there wanting to share his music? Also would love to have an 87-Brent death guy. I don't think other eras will be difficult to fill.

You mean, Da-HEEEEL go down x 40 Wow you're going to rec me a shitty version of my pride and joy? I'll listen and post on it's page. Cuca let me know if you're interested in being a contributor to a bi-weekly GD concert newsletter. Every 2 weeks we provide 25 songs(everything is fair game, even repeats, if Highlander was real everyone would be cool with 2-3 Highlanders and give at least two sentences about why you think it should be heard. I'd like to eventually get to a point we can just take song requests from fans. Need a staff of 7 unholy men for this project. It will be in e-mail format as well as being posted on Twitter with direct links to stream. You think there's a 'market' for live GD recs? Every time I go see DSO crowds are nearly selling out and more younger people new to GD music - they love it! I do too.I really need to do research or contact David Gans and Gary Lambert.
Eyes Of The World

Hi i'd like to bump this up at least 10 spots so just maybe a lurker can get what they're looking for. This Eyes has Jerry blinking sound lasers peeking through the 3rd and 4th eye of live music. For the record this is my first post ever re:Eyes of the World. Yes it's true, I just think it's an OK song...

This is the best source to listen to this Killer(SBD)https://archive.org/details/gd1978-11-21.sbd.carpenter-andrewf.87023.sbeok.flac16 Retweet on GD Twitter. It's the right thing to do.
