I know that I asked years ago if anyone had recorded the show at the Patriot Center in January of 1988. Someone else on the list was there, but no one recorded it apparently. It was the greatest of the shows I've seen with him. *Sigh* Though the first show I saw in Hampton, Virgina during the DOTBT tour was also great, since it was my first (and I was breathing the same air as him). :-) My parents were in the lobby during the last few songs (one of them being my mothers fave EBYT), and they couldn't get over how it felt as though everyone was singing along and how they felt the stadium shaking.
Yeah it would be nice to get that boot from '88, but I don't think it exists--only in my memory.

Any chance someone has a bootleg?
I'll dig up the other one. Thanks!
S'been a tough end to the year, hope you're all well.

The version from The Secret Policeman's Other Ball is my favorite. Also, the version he sang when I saw him on the NLTS tour in DC stands out in my memory as well.
