Usually I try to not post the same track if I’ve posted another version on the site before, but I just couldn’t help myself. Blue Thunder has always been my favorite Galaxie 500 track, so when I got this recording in a trade, it was the first song I listened to on the recording. This track comes from a show that Galaxie 500 played in the Netherlands back in 1989. And if you go back in the archives of TSOI, you can find a really great video for this song as well.
