they've got a couple different SXSW boots and one for Atlanta... not seeing a Greensboro 2012 yet
invaluable Bruce boot resource -- use it well!
Nice, thanks! Are there any DVDs that you would recommend? Love good quality bootleg dvds!

The Paris 85 DVD that has been discussed in the last couple of pages is nice if you're into BITUSA era shows... my faves are the grainy early-era VHS recordings of the Passaic 1978 shows. LIVE in NYC is awesome, too, but thats available at music stores -- an official release. The Darkness and River shows are widely considered his best ever, though... and listening to the boots -- my god -- how can anyone argue that those weren't some of the greatest concerts ever performed. Check out Winterland 78, Passaic 78, Agora 78 and Meadowlands 80 (new years eve 4+ hour show).
oh... don't kill your ratio downloading any of the shows I suggested... if you want one just pm me and I'll mail you some discs for free. i've got a killer ratio over there and would suggest that new folks at jungleland download only the newest boots and get seeding to get their ratios in a range where downloading older (i.e. less "hot") shows won't hurt you going forward -- I learned that quick a few years ago!

pretty sure... the one I have is from an FM broadcast, bootlegged by Crystal Cat. Prove It was never better than on the 78 tour, with the extended guitar intro by Bruce... great stuff!

Who else thinks that We Are Alive would be a great song for Eddie to cover on his upcoming solo tour? It has a real Eddie sound that I think fits well with the rest of his repetoire.
Can you guess what song and year I'm obsessed with at the moment?
In terms of consistent greatness, has there been another tour by any band that's on a par with it? The only one I can think of is the Dead's Europe 72 run.
If you really want to obsess about the '78 tour, and I think it's a very good thing to do, then you might want to grab a copy of this book:

Say, thanks for this link!
Just yesterday, I went to my old source for Springsteen bootlegs (been collecting them forever) and it was GONE. I was surprised, cus it had been there for a very long time - downloaded a lot of shows from there...although I'd not been there in about a year.
It's so cool that these days, you can get so many shows on the net. Jeez...I remember the days when getting ahold of a copy of Passaic 78 (just the audio!) was about everyone's Holy Grail...and getting the video??? An impossible dream! Shoot, even guys like Dave Marsh have stated on E Street Radio that it took him a long while to get a copy of that video. And one would be hard pressed to find someone more connected when it comes to Springsteen than Dave Marsh.
Now...pretty much anyone can download what for people like me were shows we would spend months/years trying to get ahold of! It's a wonderful thing!
I only hope new Springsteen fans appreciate what they have available to them. Because yeah....back in the day, this stuff was not easy to come by at all. Any new fans who download the video of Passaic 78: it may be grainy...but just know that you are watching something that has historical significance. Not only because it's perhaps the best set Springsteen ever played...but because for many of us older fans, getting ahold of the video of this show was like the equivalent of obtaining a Benny on vinyl. We wanted it more than we wanted to...like, breathe.
Anyway, thanks again for the link. Much appreciated!
What time has the band been taking the stage? Been a few years since I have seen him and if feel like they started the show early last time. 8pm?

I can only speak for Tampa, but it said 730 on the ticket, and the band came on at about 815. Was worth the wait. One of the best concerts we've ever been to! Now hoping for some upper mid-west shows later this summer or fall!

And it looks like Springsteen is playing my backyard August 26, literally! Moncton outdoor show, 70,000+, and pretty well in my backyard. MSG 1 and Moncton this year; not bad!
Saw the show in Boston last night. It was amazing. Third time I have seen them live and they never disappoint. I could absolutely go on tour with them. Probably one of the best shows I have ever seen. Came on at 8:15 played for almost three hours. I had GA floor tickets, but couldn't make it down from Maine in time for the wrist band lottery so I ended up behind the barrier. However, Bruce made his way through the crowd and ended up within 10 feet of me, then crowd surfed back to the stage. Unreal!
