Who is this GD-dancer girl dancing on stage on April 17, 1972?
How come no one ever mentions Donna dancing on stage? Her presence was beautiful when she danced on stage. The band enjoyed it. The crowd enjoyed it. I'm talking about 1972 and 1973. I agree with the comments below. I was wrong, and I've edited this post. She's not Donna - and she doesn't look like Mountain Girl. Using Real Player, I extracted a one-minute video clip of a GD dancer - similar to Donna - dancing during One More Saturday Night. This is from the video avi file fireeagle shared with us. Real Player freeware's built-in file trimmer kludges the video at the in-point. Then it corrupts its own file when it creates and saves it. As a result, Media Player and Real Player both crash when I tried to play the extracted avi file of Donna dancing. But, I was able to upload it, use The Archive's file deriver, and weasel this MP4 file derivative from the corrupted avi file. And it worked! The newly-created MP 4 file is clean. Now this video plays fine in QuickTime or Real Player. The first few seconds of video are hosed until the the camera switches, but who cares?The file size is 5.7 MB, and the track is 58 seconds long. GD dancer • Tivolis Koncertsal • Copenhagen, Denmark • April 17, 1972

I won't bore you with lengthy explanations of my multivariate statistical analysis that was used to draw this conclusion, but suffice it to say it carries all of the weight and and is based on all of the strong inference methods that I use in all of my definitive posts hereabouts.
But, that's all I got--really just a knee jerk assessment.

People, for real? seriously?
I am shocked to see all of you knowledgeable folks making such obviously wrong claims. Not to be a prick or come off like cliff. But seriously?
Its clearly neither mtn girl or donna. A quick search of mtn girl in 72 shows that she has long thin hair just like donna. Almost instantely ruling her out. But even not seeing pictures of either at the time its still blatent that its neither.

Let's see ... trivia time ... who else could it be? Frankie, the Sugar Magnolia girl? No, she waits backstage.
How many in the "family" traveled to Europe with the band? 50? 60? I guess there are a few more candidates out there.
