I went to many shows in the NY area in the late 80's (and first half of 1990). I went to school down the road.

Must be the holiday spirit (of course one was a TV clip). Given that this was a frequent-flier-laden set, nothing really offended me (well except Bjork).

The whole LP is wonderful -- right up there with Born in the USA and Scarecrow as far as "Important with a Capital 'I' " albums of the '80s, and of course it fell into that too rock for country/too country for rock no-man's-land.
