The way Laura sings this, it sounds like a lot like "Sweet Blindness"...
Wish I had this on an actual album--it's that good!

when i saw Laura at the Troupadore in Hollywood,,,, after every single song, a guy in the back yelled : sing tom dooley, so after her oncore, he yelled it again, she came back on stage and said - i just have to satify this man and she sang tom dooley - good stuff - you can hear him in the background of a live at the filmore cd, dont remember which song at the moment but you can hear him yell - sing tom dooley - GREAT -- Love this woman,

I saw Laura sing Tom Dooley at Royce Hall as well, and though this recording is a couple of years later, it brings back that magical period so clearly it gives me chills each time I play it! . Thanks denknee for this amazing gift. Happy New Year!

Most excellent and thanks so much, Laura will live forever...
great pics and sound... where did you get this recording? I remember Laura singing this song at Royce Hall in UCLA... have never heard mention of it ever since....was this music that was not included on the Spread Your Wings Live recording?
