Recorded live at Ripley's Music Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 11, 1982.
Despite the stage announcement on the Crash Landing boot, this was actually the start of the U.S. Richard & Linda tour. All the shows from this tumultuous time are probably essential listens, and this gig includes a rare outing for Night Comes In (the only other performance of this track I'm aware of on this tour is from Washington the follow night). It's a wonderful version, although the ending sounds rather sudden, and is one of a few slightly rushed edits. Otherwise, a fairly acceptable audience recording for the time, despite some talk-over in places.
