Info & Setlist | Venue

---

First ever concert performance of "The Angel", a song Bruce once said he would never perform live (not counting is live performance at Mike Appel's office on February 14, 1972), until a bold fan sneaked in at the soundcheck and requested the song (you can read about this encounter in the article on our News tab). It will not be played again until November 22, 2009 in Buffalo, NY. Also the European live debut of "Blinded By The Light".

Eyewitness

Johnny1999	Awesome show, Front row tix (my thanks to the man in black!!). The Show was acoustic but the atmosphere Electric. I feel honored to be one of the only few to have ever heard the Angel performed live. Thanks Bruce.
Roger	9th Row. Awesome tour, Awesomer show, And then The Angel. I knew I had never heard it, but only afterwards did I discover the rarity value. Brixton takes the credit from this leg of the Tour but for me this made this night!
