Brucebase: Last show of the tour. "Diamonds By The Yard" and "Blowin' Down This Road" are performed with Elliott Murphy guesting. Set also includes a rare "For You", only played four times this tour. Only known Springsteen performance of "Diamonds By The Yard" and first ever performance in France of "Blowin' Down This Road". With this show, five songs were played at every show of the "Solo Acoustic" Tour: "Darkness On The Edge Of Town", "Born In The U.S.A.", "Sinaloa Cowboys", "The Line", and "Across The Border".

Notes: Once again thanks to Biccio59 for the DAT and hrubesh for some initial editing, sharing it, and making the artwork. This show has been released previously by the Crystal Cat and Gamble labels. This is a different recording. Very little editing was done to this recording, some volume adjustments, and some equalization. It's an excellent recording of the final show of the Joad tour. 

Enjoy, Ivan
