LIVE DELUXE (1980) — Want a new preview?

[Ulpian]

I see they’ve put GDW up now as the next sample track... quite a nice version I thought although Stevie gets the lyrics wrong to start.

Thanks for the alert, Mark! Great gritty vocal by Stevie and nice clear sound with a good bottom end. (It’s important that Stevie have a great bottom end.)

Does anyone have the 8.29.77 audience recording handy (recorded by Steve Denison) to verify the date and locale of the label? Plus, this cut seems to have the normal outro shortened somewhat (with Christine’s pianet soaked in flanger). Was that the performance or an album edit?

Stevie gets so wrapped up in the moment that she can’t remember the wrap she’s wearing at the moment.

re:What's great is that you can't fool The Ledge. We know Mirage live sounds when we hear them.

Yep!!!!

"Hold Me" as it was performed in 1982 is GOLD.

[Ulpian]

Hold Me is up!

I like it

[Wdm6789]

Hold Me sounds great!

I always complain about this, but I really hate the added “yeahhh”

They could have just sang “hold me... hold meeEEEE” the “yeahhhh” is totally unnecessary.

Great energy in this version and Christine hits the high harmonies well! Best live “Hold Me” I’ve heard.
