A month after the Bruce Sprinsgteen show I recently uploaded I was back in Birmingham to see Bob. A great seat, about ten rows off the front, mainly I think because I just missed put on the first night, so got to the front of the postal queue for night two. I've seen several claims about Bob being in poor voice on this night , but it didn't strike me as being particularly bad then, or now.

Received this concert in a trade several years ago, I know not from who, in exactly the condition it's in now. It's not often that this tape circulates with the gospel intro section intact, indeed it's a rarity I think to find it on any 1979 - 1981 shows, although I stand to be corrected.

This may be one of the two "released" versions with the gospel section added, or at least not subtracted, or a completely different tape, hopefully somebody can tell us.

Pity that Walk Around Heaven All Day is cut (hacked to death) because I remember it being a lovely song on the night, although many seemed to take it as an excuse to head to the bar on the night!!!

Fingerprints files and md5's included in each disc folder. 

Might be slow during the day, but will (should) speed up at night (UK Time).
