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.

Acoustic bliss and the coolest vocal outro out there.

This whole show is filled with killer '70 gems. And Bobby, Jerry and Pig seem like they were all trying to out sing the other. Rare the show with such consistent vocal excellence. And this Candyman just blows me away again and again.

Sweet and short with Bobby sounding great.

Goes pretty far out, but never loses the intense melodicism and rhythmic driving that characterises this great show. A beauty.
