Blind Love

Walking Spanish

This is the first time I've ever seen another recording of this performance, which I also recorded; this version is pretty comparable to my own recording, although I think there may be just a tad more crowd noise. This version is missing a few songs which I was able to record, but we both are missing the last three songs.
