short pro-shot footage of this opening was also shown on Austrian TV the day
after the concert. The show opened with "The Promised Land," and again
included the full-band "The River" in place of "You're Missing."
Bruce also dropped a good portion of "Roll Over Beethoven" into "Ramrod"
for the Viennese crowd.

Audience tape. A unique “The Ghost Of Tom Joad” kick’s off the set. “Human Touch” is a rare version. “let’s Be Friends” are finally played, the last song off The Rising, and not worth the wait; a lousy performance (“We’re not doing so good yet” – right, Bruce) of a lousy song, not to be played again. Thanks Per.
