Record Store Day 2023: Bella Donna Live 1981
 

It's missing Blue Lamp and Think About It. Maybe the limitations of vinyl? Has this concert ever been released with all sixteen songs, either on video or audio?

I've had the full concert bootleg on cassette since the early 80's. But at this point in time I have zero interest in an official album release. The best songs are Bella Donna and Blue Lamp.

Blue Lamp is fun but for me def not one of her best. It's like Christine once said of Stevie's songs-- "I don't know wtf she's talking about, but you don't care because it sounds good". Even musically it's pretty much beyond basic even compared to her usual stuff.

Not a fan of any version of Angel she does without FM-- John's bass makes it. The version of Sara on this with the synths just sounds kinda :eek: versus with a piano.

Think About It has one of her best lines... "whatever it is that you want from me/I am just one small part of forever"

Do love this concert overall though. She was really at the height of her performing powers then.

I wasn’t really aware at the time, but why didn’t they give us the missing two songs on the BELLA DONNA deluxe CD a few years ago? What is with this cutting all the time? Are they counting pennies?
