And here begins my Sally Can't Dance Tour Upload Bonanza!

Although this is not the entire concert, it IS the entire television broadcast and there are no "complete" shows of this in circulation. This is IT.

The sound is utterly fantastic and the band AND Lou are tight. I know I've put up some lousy sounding Lou shows on DaD, but this is one of the standouts so far. You have seen some of this show in the "American Masters" PBS documentary, where Lou hits the stage in a leather jacket with sequin eagle (?) on the back, black mesh shirt and huge, oversized, pure 1970's shades.

Once Lou moved on from the twin-barrel assault of Hunter/Wagner, he picked up the remnants of supergroup Rhinoceros and killer bassist Prakash John (Alice Cooper's collective) and came to the Sally Can't Dance Tour with a heavily funkified sound. The arrangements were stripped down from the Berlin-era Tour (Rock 'N Roll Animal Tour), but the musicians remained top-notch.

The sound mix is very good, so plug this in and enjoy. I know it took me a while to post another Lou show, but my son is dead-center in the terrible two's, so gimme a break!
