Considering what everyone is having to endure right now, it would be a wonderful gesture for the April 3  archive release to be something special, as with the Winterland in December. In other words, not another TOL show or post-Rising tour show. It should be something that would chase away the “shelter in place” blues.

I wouldn't mind this one.  We were there with Tara and Hobie. It was during a natural disaster, Hurricane Isabel, of course nothing of this magnitude.  I drove through the storm with my daughter as it was gathering steam on our way back home to North Jersey.  She was so tired but wanted to keep talking to me as she was afraid I'd fall asleep in the storm.  She made it halfway. Great memories.

We only got a little bit of rain during the show.  First time for Souls of the Departed with the E Street Band, a dynamite solo piano... Incident.  One of the best shows of the tour IMHO.  The band was on fire and being driven by Bruce in the face of the storm.  You know how he gets...

I could be alone on this, but I'd really like 2003-08-11 - LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Ur right, You'd be alone on this....

JUst kidding.  A lot of us from the NY/NJ/CT SPL  chapter made the trk to Philly for these shows.  No. 3 was my favorite a couple of rarities and included Incident which always makes a show special to me.  Good choice.

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.

Milano 2003 - Dedicated to our Italian sisters and brothers who are currently suffering more than most from this terrible virus.

Sadly, I think we will also soon need to find a show to dedicate to our friends in New York because the US president doesn't give a shit about his citizens. How anyone can still think about voting for him is beyond comprehension.

A lot of spot on topic songs in that setlist:

THE PROMISED LAND / THE RISING / LONESOME DAY / MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN / DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN / EMPTY SKY / THE RIVER / WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY / WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN / GROWIN' UP / WORLDS APART / BADLANDS / OUT IN THE STREET / MARY'S PLACE / FOLLOW THAT DREAM / THUNDER ROAD / INTO THE FIRE / NO SURRENDER / BOBBY JEAN / RAMROD / BORN TO RUN / MY CITY OF RUINS / LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS - PEOPLE GET READY / DANCING IN THE DARK (with Jon Landau) / ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT)

And I concur with the 2nd part of your post also.  I still cannot believe half or just about half of our country voted for him.  I think the polls were hacked, half our country is not that gullible.  The democrats should have sued for a new clean election.  There is no way half our country got hoodwinked or is there...?

Yes I too have it only as *  Add Shortcut to Drive.  I'm assuming you'll change that Rene and copy it as a link to the Drive?  

But I will try it first as this shortcut and see what happens.  Thank you

Ok, So it appears you can add the shortcut to 'my drive'  almost as if you synced it with the link.  Rene, D404 is missing.

04. 'Iraq War PSA' (10/1)

And as Martin reported even though you see it in 'My Drive'  it does not automatically synch with your Google Drive.  You have to DL it.

Rene, for the benefit of all the others, please add D4 T04 to the folder, and then copy the link from your drive before sharing the link here.  Then it will automatically synch with everybody's drive. 

Thanks again for this.  As soon as it DLs... I'm giving it a listen.

Over half the country DID NOT vote for him. Hillary won the popular vote by over 3+million votes.

The Electoral College is what he won.  Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. If those three states swing the other way so does the election. And all of them were very close.

Not strictly to do with the relase but this lockdown means i get to liste to bruce releases

Why, what stopped you before?

Similar thing for me... I had a Harddrive crash three weeks ago.

Over the past ten years I had accumulated 2 TB of Darkness flood, River flood, Reunion flood,... not all was worthwhile keeping I realized now while I try to figure out what to keep on my backup drive and what to throw away.

Now I get to decide which of the 2014 official releases will be stored on a backup disc as well. It finally dawned on my that I will not listen to every South African or Australian show in the years to come.

Did anybody compile a list of worthwhile "keepers" from the 2014 and 2016 tours, so I can rely on a trustworthy suggestion?  

If I was just keeping some, which to be clear I don't.  I want them all. 

This is what I recommend.

In 2014,

I like these two from S. Africa

2014-01-29 O.L.D. You'll Be Able To Make Love Like A 19 Yr Old!-Bellville Velodrome, Cape Twn, ZA sbd
2014-02-01 O.L.D. Like Amer, S. Africa Is A Land Filled With Ghosts!-FNB Stad, Johannesburg, ZA sbd

I like the last two shows in Australia:

2014-02-23 O.L.D. For A Night Like Tonite-Hope Est, Hunter Vlly, AU sbd
2014-02-26 O.L.D. All You Can Do Is Dream & Imagine-Bris. Ent. Ctr, Brisbane, AU sbd

I like the last three from 2014 but Bruce had a cold at Mohegan Sun so his voice was off a wee bit. But I finally got 7 Angels after dragging that sign around for sooo long.

2014-05-14 O.L.D. Surprise, Surprise! Just For You, Her. Pk-HersheyPk Stad, Hershey, PA sbd
2014-05-17 O.L.D. 2 HEARTS-You Do This Every Nt, Every F--in Nt-Mohgn Sun, Uncasville, CT sbd
2014-05-18 O.L.D. 7 ANGELS-Yeah, That's Pretty Good, That One-Mohgn Sun, Uncasville, CT sbd


I went to over 40 shows in 2016.  This is one of them but all of these are picked on the setlist , intensity and best of all how it sounds. All of these are DLs from NUGS.  After all we are talking about the best sounding.

I pick one at the beginning of 2016.  You get The River, full album and the band is tight.  Then go right to the end of the tour and pick the last ten starting at Giants Stadium and ending at Gillette.

2016-01-29 Verizon Ctr, WAshington DC O.L.D

...was hoping for something magical.

Ask the people who were in the stadium when Jake lifted his sax to the sky after his solo. Approx. 60.000 people crying.

Given, we already had a nice sounding IEM of the show, so I would also have preferred ... ehem... LA 81, but I shan't complain today.
