First version of this played in a while and you can hear the crowd road. What a contrast to the fast upbeat set taking it way down. Love it!!!

Lotsa fun rocker with the louche touch becoming of the song. Did Donna ever sound better than Summer '76?

Playin' In The Band
Beautiful, comprehensive statement of where Playin' was at in the beginning of the post-hiatus '76 sound. 20 minutes of love.

Samson and Delilah
Scorchin' hot barnburner here. The Rhythm Devils push this one ever hotter. Bobby and Donna sound perfect together.
