Alice Cooper Group- I’m 18- Dallas 10-6-15

Not to be confused with Dallas Alice (that would be Little Feat), this is Alice in Dallas "Live from the Astroturf", performing in Good Records and improbably backed by his original Alice Cooper band (minus the late Glenn Buxton who passed in 1997) who gave us "Love It to Death", "Killer", "School's Out", and "Billion Dollar Babies".

U2- Pride (In the Name of Love)- 1987

U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)" is, for my money, one of the most important anthems of the last four decades. Inspired by the life and words of the great American human rights advocate Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King jr

Fleetwood Mac- Blue Letter- UCONN 10/75

On their first tour in Fall 1975 with the new band including rookies Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac's live performance of "Blue Letter" at their performance at the University of Connecticut made it irrespressible.
