| J-Card Comment | This is an interesting show for a couple of reasons. First, Neil claims in the show that this is the first time that <b>"Rockin' in the Free World"</b> is played live anywhere. This song would later go on to become a standard of many of Neil's future shows as well as covered by numerous bands (Pearl Jam, The Alarm, Big Country). Second, it includes a few "rare" Neil songs in the setlist. The song <b>"Box Car"</b> was recorded for a never released album entitled <i>'Times Square.'</i> This album was pulled by Neil at the last minute, after radio stations had begun to receive their copies of the album. The material, save for <b>"Box Car"</b>, a <i>'This Note's For You'</i> era song, ended up on both the rare <i>'Eldorado EP'</i> and the <i>'Freedom'</i> album. The now Out-of-Print <i>'Eldorado EP'</i> was released only in Australia and Japan. It contained five songs, three of which eventually surfaced on the <i>'Freedom'</i> album. The other two songs appear in this set: <b>"Cocaine Eyes"</b>, and <b>"Heavy Love."</b> As studio release of <i>'Eldorado EP'</i> is not readily accessible for public purchase, the inclusion of these two tracks in the setlist is something of a rarity. One could argue that this show documents the beginning of Neil's revival from a decade long slump which plagued him for much of the 1980's. This set is several months before the critcially acclaimed release of album <i>Freedom</i> in October 1989, arguably his best release since the <i>Live Rust</i> set released nearly a decade earlier in November 1979. |
