I listened to the afternoon show.....my sixteen year old self was there, stood on line for hours at a ticketron on Fordham road to get the tickets, using my work money to get them...steep price...8 bucks I think. I think my memory of the show was largely forged through repeated listenings to Before the Flood....the show was actually a lot different....Bob seemed to be singing more, with vocal nuances and inflections that seem to disappear by the time they recorded the live album in LA...it was great to relive the afternoon, a thrill for me both then and now.....a verse into All Along the Watchtower, you hear a guy ask his buddy, "what song is this?" LOL What the fuck was he doing there...
