Promised Land
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

What a joke. 9-18-1990 blows this out of the water.

Rosemont Horizon

Even a song like Estimated was better in the 90's than what they did in the 70's. Pretty much every song they played in the first set with Bruce Hornsby is better than every version played without him. Versions like 9-18-1990 of Promised Land are so smokin' hot that they make everything from 1972-74 sound like a glorified soundcheck.

Man, this starts off bad. And I mean bad, as in not good.

I find it unlistenable because of that thing Keith is playing and how loud it is in the mix. I can't even get 5 minutes into the song and that ear-jarring abomination makes me turn it off. By far, Sugar Magnolia is the best song from this show.
