I do believe that this was in NV as well. Meola has put together some recent Bruce material that I believe identified this as being in Nevada. Bruce as well discussed the trip on various bootleg recordings in 1978, introducing the Promised Land by saying, "We drove through Utah, Me and Steve and couple of friends of ours," leaving no doubt the trip led to the setting of the song. <br /><br />Great blog, even for us flatlanders!
