really locked in on this. The lost sailor is just beautiful, Brent's rhodes playing is magical

Winterland Arena

short but absolutely shredding. You'll seldom hear them get as nasty loud as you do at the climax of this TOO. And seamleassly goes into the best Stella Blue ever, to boot.

Great take cucamonga. I love 71 Sugar Mags when the boys would sing the verses in harmony. This one's a heater, Billy having a field day
