There’s a really great audience recording of the Oakland CA Mirage show. They were really on fire that night and it made me stop and think what a shame it was that the rest of the 80s would largely be lost to drugs. It’s amazing that Tango came out as well as it did. We have Lindsey to thank for keeping that train on the tracks just long enough to make it to the station.

It is really sad. In the 80's (after Mirage and CMcVie shows). I was chasing that live magic they had in the era you speak of. Then, LB leaves after Tango, and when he gets back, they are quite muted and contrived.
I felt a little of that magic at the BuckVie show. But, it's gone forever.
