soundtrack to our lives is exactly right! I used to watch this movie as a young teenage boy at my friends house whose dad took me to my first show. we would get so stoned and fantasize about having been to winterland. this version is not the all time best in my humble opinion. But with that being said, this whole run is absolutely over the edge. these were the last shows before the "retirement". they were on fire the whole time. what makes this version one of the best of all-time is BILLY!!!!!!!!! who even puts a license plate on the kick drum. very enchanting, every time i hear any song from this run I just remember exactly why I love this band so much. The whole band is peaking. And the recording is so good for Wall of Sound time, i believe its a matrix, anyways, Goin Down The Road ithat follows is also worth an upvote
