Nicely spotted trekman.
I like Dennis' introduction to Light Up.
'Columbian' he sings in the middle of the song.Good ole Dennis.
Cool finish of the song though.

Dennis sounds pretty bad in Suite Madame Blue. Like fine wine, aging does wonders for his voice.

that was pretty cool.

For anyone who says they sound better today, I think after 30 years of playing the same few songs every day, you'd get it down pretty tightly.

So cool to see rare, good quality, video from that era. I think they sound really cool, for the most part. A sort of raw, unrefined quality to their singing and playing.

Dennis clearly raided Suzanne's closet for that outfit. They were all pretty much dressed in unfortunate getups for this one. But it was what guys wore onstage in that era.

Thanks for finding that footage, trekman.

Kinda reminds me of Mick Jagger's outfit he wore at Hyde Park at the show they did after Brian Jones died.
Though Dennis' is a little more snug.

That really is some good stuff, even if they all seemed to be dressed in their wives/mother's clothes.
