1980 Live album

[David]

The mystery of Sara is an ongoing mystery. How did they rerecord a lead vocal in 1980 and make it sound like the Mirage tour vocal?

There was a Pop Eye (Patrick Goldstein) article in the Times in the weeks before the end of the tour in L.A. It said that the band was going to record the final two shows for a live album. I guess the band didn't like what they heard, and decided to make the album a cobbling together of different times and places. We've all talked before about whether we would have preferred a single unified warts-and-all recording from one night.
