Beat it on Down The Line

This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

Candyman

West High Auditorium

This is a call to all Candyman lovers, listen and vote for this version. The vocals, are just outstanding. Jerry's effect driven solo is perfect for this rendition. The mix is just right on this one. This whole show is great, in the land of the midnight sun.

At the end of Jerry's solo the crowd went crazy, for good reason. This was a special Loser, for shure. Jerry's voice was strong and athritative. Listen and vote loser fans.

Jerry really attacks that solo. His vocals really deliver this song, and the harmonies by Bobby and Donna are stellar. The absence of piano with just a hint of organ make Bobby's guitar stand out more. This may be the definitive version.

This one of the most truthful and energetic versions that I've heard.
