Great, but you need to use the correct aspect ratio. You've spoiled some fantastic photos by squashing them.

Regarding You Win Again:

Jerry's SUN & SMASH cuts + all early performances of the song were in "F"; from about 1972 onwards up until just a few years ago he nearly always performed it in "G"; then during the past few years he's started performing it in "F" again so that he can reach the high notes easier. For some reason he performed it in "G" here (and sung badly off-key because it was too high for him), so it's understandable that the band didn't know what key Jerry was attempting to play it in (the piano is in "G" but the singing is so flat at times it's closer to "F"!). A bit technical for non-musicians perhaps, but hopefully this explains things a little.

Linda Gail must hate her, as she can't stand any women who are slimmer, prettier or more talented, and this woman is all 3 (Don't believe me? Ask Linda yourself what she thinks of her)...

...that doesn`t look tooo bad...

She's good at fakin' it...

Linda can be very nice sometimes, but she's also probably the most insecure person I've ever met.

How do you mean insecure ? In her temper ?

No, I mean emotionally. She craves attention and praise, and doesn't like anyone else to get it more than her - with the notable exception of her brother. This even extends to her more talented older daughter Mary Jean, who she refuses to allow to sing lead vocals or play piano on any live concerts or albums (she's ok with Annie, but her mediocre talents aren't a threat to anyone).

She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye

Not an easy song to sing, though he sounds pretty good on it. Something goes wrong after the solo but that's because the bass player makes a mistake (for the musicians, after the solo the song starts on the one again and than goes up to the four, but here the bass player already walks up to the four and quickly recovers but since Jerry starts to sing during that that part he has to decide to go to the four as well or stay or stay on the one). Have to say he fixes it pretty good.

She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye

Not an easy song to sing, though he sounds pretty good on it.

I stopped viewing it after seeing (or rather hearing) the first 15 seconds of him struggling to sing in tune...

I wonder why this happens so often now, when it was relatively rare just a few years ago (with the occasional notable exception such as WLSGO in Mannheim in 2008)? Is he just out of practice or has his hearing gone?
