Notes:
What can you say! The versions of Promised Land and Prove It All Night are exceptional and Backstreets is even better. Probably the most famous show Bruce will ever do. Listening to this show makes you understand the statement about the world being splitted in two big categories: the ones who love Bruce, and the ones who have never seen him playing…. This show is also the content of one of the most famous bootlegs: the historical LP "Live in the promised land" (Slipped Disc). Current thinking is that Quarter To Three (previously thought to be from this show) was from another show (it is not from 16-Dec-1978, since the two songs do not match), and it is confirmed from a fan present who states " It looked like the show was over. The band was gone. But no one else would leave. The place - I guess about 5000 in festival seating, actually standing - was just roaring, going nuts. Bruuuuce, on and on. Finally he came back alone, and the band finally trickled out and Bruce said, "We're off the radio now, but I'll do one more for you guys. This is the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar," and then Twist and Shout. A great version, too. He was standing on speakers ten feet off the floor. I was there and I'd stake my life on it." Thanks to John H for the info. There is no known source tape for Twist and Shout as far as I know. Thanks to brucebase.
