Hi James Overton: My premise is that this concert was dedicated to her fianc�. Supporting this were her curious redactions in her treatment of "Timer." She deleted all reference to "My Lady woke up and she broke down - she got up - she let go." Laura left out, from the song's denouement lyric array, the words "I like her song." The original version of "Timer" was released on March 3, 1968 on ELI AND THE THIRTEENTH CONFESSION. "Timer" was the thirteenth confession of ELI. These redacted lyrics were a reference to Maria Desiderio, the third party so frequently alluded to in the song. Maria was 13 and Laura was 19. "So let the wind blow Timer...I like her song and if the song goes minor I won't mind." That lyrical omission would have been consistent with the emotional thrall that she was held in that evening.
