May 5: Charlottesville

Charlottesville got quite a few tour premieres and surprises, and a stellar set list. The "Badlands" opener was followed by the always intense "Adam Raised a Cain", then "Outlaw Pete" and another gem off Darkness: "Candy's Room"; and in the middle of the "crisis trilogy" there was a surprising and stunning premiere: no less than "Roulette". Keep it there, Bruce!

Come the sign request slots, there was "Spirit in the Night" and the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" (see video) and a welcome track off Magic: "Gypsy Biker". A long and hot show that ended with Mitch Ryder's "Detroit Medley".

See complete set list.
