Pure Donna vocals, and raging Garcia solo before the last verse. Donna sounds great throughout this entire show—it's a real smoker.

NOT just another '77 version. BIG bridge solo, pure Jerry/Donna backing vocals, scary Mutron solo into Eyes. One of the best.

NOT just another '77 version. Insanely-tight jamming, 2nd set opener, KEITH, JERRY, PHIL! Best version I've heard.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

Out of Half-Step opener of the last show of Brent's first tour with the band. Love his early '79 keys sound.

Feel Like A Stranger

Absolutely killer show with one of the all-time best Lost>Saints. This Stranger has one of the most organized jams I've ever heard. Great work from the boys.

Okay, you HAVE to listen to this source: http://archive.org/details/gd1985-06-24.mtx.pytlik.32310.sbeok.flac16 There are some sonic issues at the beginning that cause Jerry's vocal track to spit and duplicate. It sounds like there are four Jerry's singing in unison, and it is fucking cool! Hands down best Alabama. The band is just on, and Jerry really belts out the vocals.
