Keep in mind these are 1987 stars.



After solid but playing-it-safe kind of spring and summer tours, the boys were starting to stretch things out on the fall tour. We got a Bucket > Fire (matched by the Touch > Scarlet a few nights later). They had yet to introduce us to any Built to Last material, but they dropped some new covers on us during this tour. Tonight's debut was Queen Jane (Approximately), played a few times with Dylan during the summer, and now part of Bobby's first set repertoire. The 9/9 show is probably the best of the three in Providence, and still a warm-up for what was to come at MSG.



The Bucket > Fire was hot, and Terrapin was a well-played surprise. (I ran into a guy outside who was saying "You east coast people don't deserve a second night Terrapin. Heh heh." The Other One hit some unexpected places, and the Bobby rave-up to close the show sent us home happy.
