Notes:
When Bruce brought the River tour back to the US after conquering Europe,
the buzz amongst the faithful was all about the "new" songs: "Trapped,"
"Johnny Bye Bye," and "Follow That Dream." While two, and some would say
all three, were covers, Bruce definitely made them his own with his
arrangements and modified lyrics. Even after releasing a double-album
the previous year, Bruce was still adding songs to the set eight months
into the tour.
The "victory lap" that was the summer tour of '81 is most notable for giving us
the Los Angeles and New Jersey stands, one for the emotional Vietnam Vets show,
the other for the venue's opening. But shows in between, and after, should
not be ignored, and this one -- the second of a two-night stand in
Cleveland -- is crying out for some attention. From the opening "Rockin'
All Over the World" to the closing "Twist and Shout," this one had not
just a great set list -- with all the "new" songs plus "Jole Blon" and "This
Land is Your Land," and even "I Don't Wanna Go Home", with Southside Johnny
himself -- but an intense performance as well (but didn't all River tour shows
feature an intense performance?).
As for the recording, this is an interesting situation where the JEMS master
was missing the first two songs, but they had a second recording -- first gen
from the master -- to fill in that gap. Oddly enough, this secondary recording
is actually better than the JEMS recording. And before you ask, no, that
recording is not available.
The secondary recording was also used for "Follow That Dream," as an argument
near the JEMS taper over seat locations distracted from the on-stage
performance.
