Winterland Arena
Blissful dancealong. As clear a statement of what the good times feeling of the later Donna era could sound like. Nice times.

19 minutes, man it gets weird: whistles, gamelans, melodica solo, bird calls, kazoos, explosions: was every one in on the jam? Anyone remember?

Easttown Theatre
Adrenaline bursting hard driver. Exciting. Jerry at 3:00 solos in all 720 degrees, just propulsive. Give her a spin.

Flawless trance-inducing NFA with a perfect transition into GDTRFB. Note for note perfect show.

Perfect. May have the best vocal harmonies of all of them. Not here because of low-level boards? Try headphones, heads.

Churning and swirling, it grows and grows like a dynamo wheelspinner.
Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle
The AUD patch at the beginning doesn't remove one iota of this version's enormous musicality and brilliance. Towards the end it sounds like everyone is playing in a different time signature yet moving forward with the grace, fun and bounce specific to the song's unique pulse. Wonderful.

Inventive and flowing with perfect ensemble mindflow. Never gets old. One of the great greats.
Big Railroad Blues
