Hard to believe this show is almost 35 years old. The sound is exceptional--sounds like it was taped last night. The soft opening of INCIDENT ON 57th STREET demands an absolutely silent audience, something that'd be hard to come by in arenas. This is Bruce-the-icon at his best.
My first Bruce record was BORN IN THE U.S.A.. So when I had extra money
for records I could only go back in time--THE RIVER was a double album, leaving me with GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK, NJ, BORN TO RUN, THE WILD, THE INNOCENT AND THE E STREET SHUFFLE. I played those tapes out, and the songs in the setlist for this show, are to me, the Golden Era which I could never be a part of. By the time I got to this music the era had already passed and arenas were the norm.
It's a beautiful radio broadcast. Enjoy. The debut of THUNDER ROAD (who's Angelina?) alone makes this a download worth keeping.
