Found the Nebraska concert already available to stream with a PBS passport.
My wife, born & raised in "the town of Lincoln, Nebraska" has childhood memories, along with anyone her age who grew up here, of the week-long panic the "spree killer" caused before he was caught.
Homes that had never locked the doors were secured.
Schoolchildren driven to school by grim parents.
A loaded shotgun atop the kitchen refrigerator.
Posses of armed men patrolling neighborhoods.

I bought the album on cassette when it came out & played it driving Nebraska highways.
Was fascinated by the story of how Bruuuce recorded it on a little Tascam 4-track Portastudio cassette machine, carried the tape around in his jeans pocket, then released it as is.
