After a remarkable seven months, the 'Devils & Dust' tour staged its finale in Bruce's home State of New Jersey. Donna Summer's 'Last Dance' was the appropriate choice of P.A. music as the lights went down in Trenton. The show was surprisingly similar to the previous night, including the instrumental opener 'Rumble' as a tribute to the recently deceased Link Wray. The new arrangements of 'Saint in the City' and 'Song for Orphans' also returned, but Bruce couldn't let the event pass without four tour premieres. The biggest surprise was the first outing for 'Zero and Blind Terry' in over thirty years. 'Fire' got the bullet mic treatment as another nod to Wray (who covered the song in '78) and Patti came out for a duet on 'Mansion on the Hill'. The fourth tour premiere was a family affair, with a total of 16 friends and relatives (including Bruce's 3 children) joining him on stage for a slightly early 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'. All that was left was a series of thanks and name checks before 'Dream Baby Dream' for one last time.
'You'll Catch Zero and Terry in Trenton' from Black Lab Productions uses a handheld camcorder video shot from the back of the theatre. The filmer often zooms out between songs and the view gets very shaky until he homes in on his subject again. Once Bruce is centre-frame, things are much more stable. The view feels a little distant and there is the occasional partial obstruction from an audience member's head. Picture quality is very good, particularly during the more brightly lit portions of the show. An excellent audience tape from 'JB' is used for the audio source, but the sync is a little adrift at times.
'You'll Catch Zero and Terry in Trenton' falls somewhere in the middle of the field of 'Devils & Dust' shows in terms of technical quality, but it is essential as a representation of a landmark performance.
