I couldn't find this one on the tracker and recently digitized it so thought there might be a few dimers that could use it. I received it in the early 1980's from a European trader.
I can't find the date listed on any gig guides or archives (in a fairly quick net search) and assume it's part of the European leg which Petty opened for Nils Lofgren. Most gig listings I've located have the 31st open and no Brussels date listed during that leg.
On May 30th they played Pink Pop and on June 1st played Paris opening for The Kinks with Nils Lofgren.
They kicked off UK tour dates on May 8th and apparently played a few European dates prior to that but I can't find the exact dates of those (so maybe the date is May 1st???). The European trader listed May 31st as the date on the actual tape.
The set list matches the 1977 tour set lists and lastly the city is definitely Brussels as Petty addresses the crowd at the end of Track 2 saying "Brussels, yeah" and at the end of Track 6 saying "we're so happy to be here in Brussels".
A good to very good audience recording...
