Brucebase: Set includes "For You", the first time it has been played on the tour outside of the Paramount Theatre Asbury Park shows in November 1996 and the first ever performance of the song in France. "No Surrender" features the extended guitar introduction. Final tour performance for "Point Blank".

Notes: Once again thanks to Biccio59 for the DAT and hrubesh for sharing it and making the artwork. It appears to me to be the same source as the Gamble Records version of this show. But this is from the master, and a comparison of the two reveals that this is much clearer, louder, and easier to listen too. There are a few faults though. There is a subtle but at times slightly distracting murmur of a couple close to the taper, you can hear them between songs and during quieter starts. How I wish these people could hear themselves 23 years later mucking up a nice recording! You don't really hear it on the Gamble but it's there, bery low in te background. There is also a drop in volume and rustling of the mic for almost a minute during the start of "Balboa Park". I suppose the taper was trying to evade security, but he quickly recovers. A nice show overall.

Enjoy, Ivan
