Good Evening, Columbia
Alex 'Stormy' Mundy has added another new audience recording to DGM's online vault. This one is from Columbia in 1984.

A cold day here in Nashville & its environs.
The first day of winding up the Crimson Beast of Terror in preparation for unleashing it on the world. Apparently, the English magazine Classic Rock, in their review of TPTB, suggests we should call it a day. This is the simple arrogance of a reviewer not yet quite grown out of believing their own reviews. Yet not quite...
