    * Beginning of "Who'll Stop The Rain?" mixed with the (very bad) soundboard source.
    ** Very small skip in the beginning

    ------

    To keep people from asking:
    Since this 'remaster' is from MarkP's master recording, this doesn't have the cuts every other release has.
    'This Land Is Your Land' which was missing from other versions, is complete on this one.
    'Twist & Shout' was missing half the song - it's complete on this one.
    Only cut on this is in the beginning of "Who'll Stop The Rain?", which was on all the other version too. (Tried to fix it)
    To sum it up, this is much better than all the old 'releases' of this legendary show.
    --

    'Editors' view: Probably the best show ever, definitely best Who'll Stop The Rain? he's ever played.

    "Possibly the most emotional show of Bruce's career, this benefit show starts with an introduction by Bobby Mueller,
    a disabled Vietnam veteran, and several band members reportedly had tears in their eyes when they started
    'Who'll Stop the Rain?,' Credence Clearwater Revival's song about the Vietnam conflict.
    Bruce himself was overcome with emotional during 'The River' and stopped singing at one point.
    This show features the one and only performance of 'Ballad of Easy Rider.'" -theboots.net

    "Only performance [ever] of Ballad Of Easy Rider.
    This was a benefit for the Vietnam Veterans and features passionate versions of The River and Who'll Stop The Rain."

    Rolling Stone magazine released that list of the 15 greatest Bruce songs you've never heard, someone's just put them all in a torrent I guess
  10. I guess so!! Most of them are b-sides and non-album tracks I suppose?
  11. not the most interesting list you've ever read. 9 - 14 are all from roughly the same period and comprise bruce and a guitar and are all on the before the fame download up top. The difference between them and what made it to the greetings album is immense. and if he'd stayed in that vein and even more so the style of numbers 2 and 3 the rest wouldn't be history it would be fiction. again they are on some of the 1971 recordings up in the other post. tiger rose is a song he gave to someone else and certainly doesn't constitute the best song he's given away. what's left is ok but whether it's the best out of the massive amount that is available is open to question. It's just another of those meaningless lists that rock magazines have become so fond of because the writers are lazy and there's relatively few decent bands around to write about.
