I have attended many better shows since then but I still recall that show with great affection. 

The first of the two Frankfurt shows in 1992 was my first experience of seeing the man live.

And though there were some good moments in it (the little pause before the end of the harmonica solo in "The River" stayed in mind), I have to say I was disappointed a bit and lost interest in Bruce so much that I only stumbled into him again by "accident" in 2009. I was lucky enough to score tickets then for the two MSG shows ("WIESS" and "The River"... flew in from Germany for those), and have seen some great E Street Band shows since.

I collected this show just to be able to listen to "It's been a long time" and "Having a Party". Other than that, I will avoid listening to any version of "Badlands" or whichever E Street Band Songs with this band. They might be nice musicians, not their fault that the man chose them, but their sound just points to what is missing in that era.

No. Unfortunately I cannot say that the show itself was awesome to me at the time. "57 Channels" already sucked back then. And I am sad to say that I cannot recall my first Bruce show with such great affection.
