One of the numerous “Hungry Heart” takes recorded during this performance was officially released on the “Hungry Heart” CD EP (as “Hungry Heart [Berlin 95]”) later the same year, although this just featured Bruce’s live vocals from the Eckstein show laid over the original 1980 E Street Band instrumental tracks! A factory-pressed silver CD called “Secret Berlin Night” (presumably taken from the DVD audio source) has also been released on the “Pablo” label.

Audience tape. Bruce hooked up with Willie Nelson as well as Joe Ely after his show in Austion. Bruce and Joe went to see Willie Nelson after his show at the Hang-Em-High Saloon on 6th Street. All three then played music in Willie's bus outside Hang-Em-High until 4am. That could be why Bruce sounded tired the next night. Willie and Bruce apparently got along famously. In fact, Willie asked Bruce to stay in Austin for another night so they could play a gig together. Bruce said he had a committment in Dallas that night. Thanks to Susan West and Sal for the info.

Audience tape. Released on CDR "Bruce In The Temple Of Love". Bruce tried out a verse in Spanish for Across The Border - but it didn't work out, so it was not done in the show. Thanks to Johanna and Sal for the soundcheck info. Post show party: After the show Bruce & crew & friends went to the Samarkanda nightclub for a Sony Music party. Surprisingly, and while backstage, Bruce told everyone there (working people included), that they were invited to go with them to the party. Once there, Bruce received there a silver award (1,000,000 copies) for sales of The Ghost of Tom Joad in Europe. The award had a silver map of Europe with numbers for sales in every country. Very nice indeed. Bruce did a speech to accept the award where he spoke about remembering having his first album and seeing that red Columbia label on it, "like the Bob Dylan albums", and then he knew "I was on the right label". Attendees included Sony Music top execs like Don Ienner, plus Landau, Barbara Carr, Dave Marsh and others.

Bruce was literally besieged by many Sony people and after five minutes Bruce slowly walked thru the crowd and... went the corner where our little party was (basically people who worked at the show, not fans nor industry-type people). He thanked the people in the group, and had a champagne toast with us! It was great to see him up close, tlaking to you directly and looking at your eyes. He stayed there all night dancing with the girls in our group. At around 5am Bruce and his crew left straight to the Madrid airport.

09/08/96 - WHITEFISH, MONTANA - GREAT NORTHERN BAR AND GRILL

SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL / MUSTANG SALLY

Springsteen drops by to catch the final set of the evening by THE FANATICS, the restaurant’s resident house band, led by guitarist (and Great Northern Bar and Grill co-owner) Doug Rommerein. Bruce hopped onstage and sang two songs to the astonishment of the small audience. THE FANATICS had been hired to play at Toby Scott’s wedding reception the following day. It appears Bruce, in anticipation of performing the next day, wanted to meet the band and get in a bit of practice.
