"This is pure killer. The best set I heard (so far)"

"Right in the thick of the 78 Darkness tour and man are they hot. This entire stand is legendary but this was always the one without a proper release. The 2nd set is fire"

"At all last the official recording of what I consider the best show of 1978. The PASSIAC stand is now complete. To me the entire band is at full steam. You can hear all players and the sound quality is exceptional. This is an essential addition to any collection. Nights 1 and 2 have long been up there in my top ten , this definitely up there and because it is close to Bruce’s birthday I feel it surpasses the other 2. What a year so far, with Cardiff 2013 being released. What next??? "

"Wow! All of the 78 shows are great in their own right but the second set of this show is one of the best in the entire archive series. Kitty’s Back is incendiary. Listen to this show!!!! "
