Comments: In many ways, the early 1980s were Eric's "lost years", marked by occasional mediocrity, but also by often overlooked gems. This is one of the latter, a performance in an era that marked the beginning of EC's re-emergence as a guitar hero. The crowd is a bit loud, and the mix is a bit muddy, but it's a fun recording to listen to overall. Lay Down Sally features an interesting rearrangement with a "boogie" rhythm.
