My concert schedule has cleared up a little bit, and truthfully, it’s a welcome break. There’s nothing I’d rather spend my money on, but well, I need money to spend on it. So, to entertain you, our lovely oink-less readers looking for new places to download high quality material, I have dipped into my archives. I’ve been on a steady diet of Bruce since the show last weekend, and though the show was mind-blowing, I keep hearing friends talk about how good his tours were “back in the day”. Which got me thinking about my favourite tours of all time… Now, most of my list would be dominated by Dylan (’66, ‘75, ‘80, Fall ‘02), but if those were my top 4, Bruce would fit in the top 5 with his Ghost of Tom Joad Tour, which spanned from ‘95 to ‘97. These shows were mostly all solo Bruce, and the tour produced some of the finest audience recordings I have ever heard, and this one must be at the top of the list.

The show I have for you here comes from the Brixton Academy in London.  If you prefer Nebraska-era Bruce, this is an absolute must hear.
