One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Jam starts at around 05:45, never fully forms. Am I crazy? This sounds like NFBM and it continues about 3min into TOO. Very very cool stuff here.

One of the best Bobby-Jerry meltdown conversations during a TOO that I know of: Helped by fine stereo panning for the different guitars and great sound.

Rising and falling (y'all) intesity and super-charged rhthymic complications make for an interesting version. Keith on Rhodes is nice and of course we've got great sound for the Kezar shows.

Absolutely burning. Great improvements on the C.Miller versions. Keith's contribution really shines. Kezar gets a lot of play of course, but check out 22, 26, 28, 30 and 31 March for total Playin' headiness, some of which are arguably more interesting, tighter and more shredding than here. (Headphones only for some with sound quality issues.)
