A mate of mine had a bootleg album years ago by an artist labelled Bruce Dylan. Plain white cardboard outer and a stuck on printed label. It was actually EC in concert from back in 1976/77 when he toured UK and SW States after his rehab. I long ago lost my tape recording of it. Last night I sat and spent several hours going over clips, archives, venue histories and music sharing sites and finally found what I was after.
It was actually a recording of his Nov 15 1976 concert in Dallas Texas made for radio airplay and not ever meant to be released as an album. In my opinion it is some of the best EC ever even if sound quality is a bit dodgy. His two female backup singers are brilliant, the band is on fire and EC is God. Marcy Levy and Yvonne Elliman each do a solo of "One Night With You" and "Cant Find My Way Home" respectively.
The Old Grey Whistle Test has a similar performance from around the same time, but definitely not as good, however Kitty Terry has remastered "Tell the Truth" for youtube and it is good. If you like EC check it out.

Hello Old Friend, Sign Language, Badge (9.03), Knocking on Heavens Door, One Night With You, Tell The Truth (14.00), Cant Find My Way Home, Blues Power (13.00), Layla (12.33) and Further On Up The Road. What a blast to recover a long lost album that was a favourite.
181.44 MB file called ecl76mp.rar if you want it. It can't be piracy as it was never released commercially anyway. Well that's my thinking.
