May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Yesterday morning when I opened up Facebook to catch up with what had been posted, etc, during the night while I had been sleeping, I looked at my notifications to see I’d been tagged in a post on one of the SM groups. The tag linked to what is below. A new upload from Art…

It’s a proper old style bootleg – but a good quality one – from in the crowd rather than the soundboard. And you get to hear said crowd go mental when Jim intros certain songs, or hear how raucous the applause is when certain songs end. Most of the setlist sparks rapturous applause and reactions,…

I fell in love with this version IMMEDIATELY on first play when I got the New Gold Dream box set in the summer of 2016. I find it wonderful when we are allowed to hear demos and early versions of songs. I love being exposed to that “work-in-progress’ – even if it takes many years…
