Encore:
16. The Way It Is (reprise)

A really nice audience recording that captures the space but lets the music come through.  That one guy right in front of you who claps too loud?  He has been removed.  Take that, that guy!

Bruce went on after Cassandra Wilson, and the band plays jazzy versions of several songs, especially The Way It Is.  It's a nice departure from the usual.  There was a 2.5 second dropout during the first chorus of Talk of the Town which was patched with the same part of the second chorus.  None of the known recordings of the show could be located, so the patch is inaudible but in a sense 2.5 seconds of the show is still missing.

Enjoy!
