Get past murk with good headphones and you find a gem: Bobby's vox perfect, the arc powerful, Jer and Keith possessed.

Rossevelt Stadium

Uptempo, and with a hard swagger, with a beaut of a Rio section. 2nd ever, sounds like they're still settling on the vibe.

From blisteringly hot, into a sweet-and-light outro > OMSN, turning on a dime. Great fun.

Rip-roarin' version. The 2nd set perks up quite a bit after a sleepy 1st. Pig was still on.

Has it all. This set is just outrageously perfect.

Never drifts or waddles, just lifts off and flies away on a long and beautiful journey across it all and back again.

LIG on its own is up there with the most interesting and beautiful ones ever.

First one in six years (09/1970). Very pretty and beautifully harmonised. You know, Donna gets so little love here, but listen up here and you'll hear something of what the boys heard in her.
