I confess that when I first thought about this, I was thinking Vietnam Vets, LA 1981. At one time, I thought we’d never get that due to Bruce dropping words in “The River.” The Winterland 12/16/78 with the forgetting the words on “Racing” made me think we still might get the Vietnam Vets show.
The other one I was thinking of is 43 years ago today, Boston, 3/25/1977. I find it hard to believe the sound man didn’t throw on a couple of tapes to capture the final show of the tour. (If they need to fill in a few seconds due to a tape flip from the JEMS version, that’s okay by me.)
But since that show is merely wishful speculation and we don’t know if they actually recorded in LA in 1981 (despite the other LA shows that were recorded over the years due to the equipment being there) all the Rising shows that have been suggested would be fabulous and fit the present international mood. If they managed to crack the original recording issue for the Helsinki 2003 release, than I find it hard to believe they haven’t managed to crack the original recording issue for another show.
