Incredible to hear Stevie hit those high notes on Gypsy, Landslide, etc. The band performs Leather and Lace and I love how they ease into it without introduction or anything. Sounded really organic and spontaneous which of course it would not be. The encores are not recorded which is a shame because the band was on fire this night. It could be the tape or the coke but they are playing fast which actually works really well for Hold me

I love this, thanks for posting. Great piano on Don’t Stop! Brown Eyes sounds very good. And Love In Store sounds better here than on the concert video. As usual, Lindsey makes the difference: all the tunes are brimming with energy, thanks in large part to him. Stevie sounds excellent in Landslide and Sara. The audience loved Leather and Lace—with Henley?—but I was not happy to hear it in that context.
