Tacked
on at the very end is several minutes of the post-show music played over the PA
on "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" tour - in this case it's Ennio Moricconi's
"Once Upon A Time In The West"
Notes:
Complete show: Yes
Musicians: Just Bruce and his guitar and harmonica.
Remarks:
Crystal clear recording on a fine CD copy. This is what the boots.net wrote about the show:
After a second
U.S. leg in January, Bruce took the The Ghost of Tom Joad Tour to Europe, and,
as Bruce usually does, shook things up on the other side of the big pond. The
London shows at Brixton Academy and Royal Albert Hall included many surprises,
including the premieres (believe it or not) of "The Angel" from the
Greetings album and a new song called "Pilgrim in the Temple of
Love," also called "Santa Gets a Blow Job." Another highlight of
the European tour was the totally reworked "The Promised Land," which
featured Bruce using his guitar as more of a percussion instrument. However,
the "New Promised Land," as some fans call it, must be heard live to
be fully appreciated. Available on the CD "Brixton Night," which also
includes bonus tracks from the other London shows.
