Information:
This 1983 European release has all the makings of an
incredible package, but it falls a little short. The performance is
wonderful (although a few songs have been left off). The title comes
from a line in Every Grain Of Sand. While this song is on the tour
supported Shot Of Love album; ironicaly, the song is not performed on
this European tour. The front cover is an incredible full color cover
shot of Bob, with a nice concert photo on the back cover. The LPs
have full printed labels, and the vinyl is clean and well pressed;
indicative of a German pressing plant. So, what's to complain about?
Well, it would have been nice if this had been a gate fold cover...
but, the main complaint is that there is absolutely no venue and / or
historical information to be found anywhere on the piece. The
performance is from the Freileichttheater in Bad Segeberg, Germany on
July 14, 1981. There was a professional multi track
line recording of this show that is still being protected from
release... but field recordings don't get much better than this one. In
2005 this show was released on a CD of the same name.
