Information:  This 1983 European release has all the makings of an incredible package, but it falls a little short. The performance is wonderful (although a few songs have been left off). The title comes from a line in Every Grain Of Sand. While this song is on the tour supported Shot Of Love album, ironically the song is not performed on this European tour. The front cover is an incredible full color cover shot of Bob, with a nice concert photo on the back cover. The LPs have full printed labels, and the vinyl is clean and well pressed, indicative of a German pressing plant. So, what's to complain about? Well, it would have been nice if this had been a gate fold cover... but, the main complaint is that there is absolutely no venue and / or historical information to be found anywhere on the piece. The performance is from the Freileichttheater in Bad Segeberg, Germany on July 14, 1981. There was a professional multi track line recording of this show that is still being protected from release... but field recordings don't get much better than this one. In 2005 this show was released on a CD of the same name.
This LP holds value for another reason. It was shipped from Germany in 1983 from the manufacturer directly to bobsboots.com. Since it's release, it has been in the private bobsboots collection, and comes with a signed and certified letter as to that fact.
