After a remarkable seven months, a tour which was in many ways a fulfillment of the promise 
of the 1990 Christic Institute benefit shows, we found ourselves tonight at the Last Dance 
(the Donna Summer song even played over the P.A. when the lights went down.) Like other 
Springsteen tour-closers of recent years, it was a somewhat meandering show; and it was 
surprisingly similar to the previous night, including the opening Link Wray tribute, "Rumble",
the new arrangement of "Saint in the City," and "Song for Orphans" with Alan Fitzgerald, "the 
man behind the curtain," returning on the keys. But when this show diverged, it diverged: 
gotta love four tour premieres at a tour finale. The first came as Bruce sat down at the 
piano for the first time: "I'm gonna play something tonight I've never played before. Can't 
let the night pass without one of those!" And while Bruce has actually played "Zero and Blind 
Terry" before, back in '73 and '74 with the E Street Band, this Tracks tune was near the top 
of the snowball's-chance-in-hell list until tonight. (Even better, it went right into a 
magnificent "Backstreets," also at the grand, the only audible of the night.) #2 was "Fire," 
a stripped-down, playful performance on the harp and bullet mic that was also a nod to the 
late, great Wray (he and Robert Gordon covered the Springsteen tune on 1978's Fresh Fish 
Special). For #3, Bruce brought out his "way better half," Patti Scialfa, for a duet on 
"Mansion on the Hill." (With that performance, just squeaking in under the wire, Bruce has 
played every song from Nebraska on the Devils & Dust tour.) And for #4, it was the real 
"attack of the relatives," as Patti came back onstage along with about 15 more friends and 
family members for "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town." Their kids were part of the throng, Sam 
sitting on the piano bench next to his dad, as everyone shook tambourines, jingled bells, and 
sang along for this official start of the holiday season. Bruce had noted the kids' presence 
in the crowd earlier in the show, as he introduced "Long Time Comin'": "I got my babies in 
the house tonight, so I'll send this out to Evan, Jessie, and Sam... Daddy's coming home!" 
(He later dedicated "The Promised Land" to Evan, and "Dream Baby Dream" to Jess.) Bruce had 
several more shout-outs before this last dance was through, thanking "everyone for giving me 
a good year," thanking all of the tour crew (even coaxing guitar tech Kevin Buell out for a 
quick wave), Terry Magovern, and "all the fans": "I really love playing like this... but to 
do it, you really need a great audience -- and I've had great audiences this year. You did a 
good job -- and it's a job! That's hard listening! 'We're not talking! We're listening!'" 
Anytime, Bruce, anytime. And some rare final words as the last "Dream Baby Dream" droned to a 
close: "See you up the road!"

This DVD from Blacklab 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, bu 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 an
essential representation of a landmark performance.
