Pretty sure during brisbane 2 he said this is ghost of Tom Joad to introduce the song, after the crowd kept singing the badlands refrain and made the band stop playing ghost and go back into badlands.

You thinking that Brisbane 2 is one of the top handful of shows from the tour does help, but god I would love to have the opportunity to see Bruce do born to run in full. Night and Jungleland are my top 2 that I'm yet to see. The promise, streets of fire and tunnel of love would probably round out my top 5. Wouldn't surprise me if last two popped up on this leg.

What are your top 10 shows of the tour ade/clover? I am in need of some more nice audio to go with Brisbane 2, Gothenburg 2, HR London and Paris 2. That's essentially all that I have/listen to from WB.

But yeah, I agree with you, I'd prefer no introduction to the album. Thunder Road or badlands appearing early on in the set wouldn't really make me think twice about anything, but going straight into tenth or Adam would have me slowly beginning to pass out.

that's more or less my point some would guess after thunder road>tenth avenue, some wouldn't, in fact some wouldn't get what ws going on at all but there would be a whole level of enjoyment for those who did that isn't there when he goes 'we're going to do...' i'd love to share your expectation for tunnel but i can't see it happening - there's not much on it that's been out this tour and not a lot more that's been out (excluding devils and dust tour) since the reunion. There's a few that have never seen (and i hate to use this phrase) the light of day in an estreet gig - valentine's day exists on a tunnel tour rehearsal tape.

Yeah I know thinking Tunnel of Love might come out at some point on the remainder of the tour/leg is a little wishful, but over here in Aus he was soundchecking some tasty stuff (One step up, The Price you pay just to name a couple, plus debuting Better Days in Melb). Then him bringing out Leap of faith with Better days over there in Norway just shows that he has been looking at some 90s and TOL stuff. Always a chance with Bruce. EDIT: plus Bruce also played All that heaven will allow before the show

Ask and it will be given to you! Thanks for that huge list ade. I'm sure I'll find a few there to keep me busy.

Can I ask - are you a fan of the Melbourne 3 show? I have the audio but haven't listened to a lot of it, but plenty of BTXers rave about how great it was and how great the setlist was. Maybe I am biased and jealous because I nearly went and didn't, but I just don't see why everyone rates it so highly. Sure it is one of the top few in Australia (Melb 3, Syd 2, Bris 2 and Rock 2) but for me it just doesn't have that special something. Maybe it has too many of what I deem to be poor live/concert songs (Pay me my money down, Factory, American land, i'm going down). And yeah it has the rarities, some of which I would love to see, but it just doesn't do it for me 100%.

i can't say i remember much about melbourne 3 so that says it all, btx has always done my head in which is why i only post in the mp3 thread if i can help it. I never get involved in any discussions outside that thread as it's just not worth the aggravation. A lot of people told me they don't post for the same reason.

Yeah btx is fairly shitty. They just flame each other and rage most of the time.

This place's Bruce thread is much, much better.

Would it be fair to assume that the best songs from Tracks are those included on 18 Tracks?

no

abrupt but honest....

i'm doing this from memory so any omissions/inaccuracies i apologise for. But 18 tracks is missing, bishop danced, zero and blind terry, thundercrack, don't look back, frankie, this hard land, restless nights (surprised steve didn't beat him up) roulette and take em as they come.

if you're thinking of buying i'd get the full set you'll only hate yorself in the morning.

Thank you ade, Tracks is only £15 on Amazon, which isn't bad at all for 66 tracks. I'm only missing out on those three extra tracks included on 18 Tracks, I can buy them separately. I'm sure Ronnie would say something similar, which is more than enough for me.

Far too many "tracks" in that message.
