Hadn't seen it since then, so my memories of it were great ones... until I saw it on TV a few months ago and realized they actually sounded pretty horrible. But my nostalgia runs deep and I still have a soft spot for it. I DO also appreciate hearing the band for the last time (pretty much) without the Cast of Thousands backing band. I like it being raw and stripped down like this, and I wish they would do more like that today, but it'll never happen.
Ah, memories!

At the time of that tour, it was the first time seeing them, me and almost 90,000 others. Crowd so thick if you fell, you didn't touch bottom. Some told me that the 1978 was "more" sloppy than this one. I'll never know.......
