J-Card Comment Another solid and highly satisfying set from the continuation of the
River tour in early 1981. The highlight this night for me is the
unusual fifth position inclusion of "The Price You Pay" in a wonderful
stripped down arrangement that I had forgotten was ever played. Its a
fantastic performance of one of Bruce's least played but most beloved
songs. Also notable this night is the always welcome cover of Bobby
Fuller's "I Fought the Law," a plaintive (could there be any other
kind?) "Wreck on the Highway" and "I'm a Rocker" to open the encore.

============

Another fun show to work on. As BK said above, "The Price You Pay"
is indeed a major highlight of this one, and a nice little combo
of "Independence Day" and "I Fought the Law." And check out the guy
yelling out requests for "Lost in the Flood"; poor guy didn't get his
wish for another 19 years.
