Winterland Arena

An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

Almost but not quite as good as 2 nights later in Boston.

Il ove these 1976 versions as Donna gets to sing -no screeching. Same with Sunshine Daydream and Stella Blue. Turn on, tune in and turn back time 40 years. You won't regret it.

Just absolutely gorgeous,jazzy jamfest-with little tinkling bells and chimes on at the end. A cliche on this site ,I know, but more folks need to listen to this-25 minutes that will enhance your life.
