Anyone would like to comment on the sound of the remastered Darkness?
havent gotten my boxset yet,
do you have a problem with it ?
It is from old 1978 footage, even remastered, its bound to have a few bumps in the road, yes ?

The remaster of the album is from the original master tapes, not bootlegs!
Sound is punchier, with a little more clarity in terms of instrument audibility. Big improvement on the original album, though my ears aren't trained well enough to tell if it has significant compression.
When we found the things we loved,
They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
We tried to pick up the pieces,
And get away without getting hurt,
But they caught us at the state line,
And burned our cars in one last fight,
And left us running burned and blind,
Chasing something in the night.

It was released in Ireland and other parts of Europe on Friday.

Listening now..Sounds great! I haven't heard the old bootlegs so can't say how they compare but these songs sound really good to me.

Has anyone picked up the box set yet? Any thoughts on the Paramount, Thrill Hill Vault, or Houston DVDs? I'm still on the fence on buying it but would like to read some reviews from other fans on here.

Unfortunately, no. They should've done so though. Only the double-cd The Promise (previously unreleased songs) can be purchased separately.
I'm so tempted to buy the box set because it looks so good...but I can't right now.

First impressions after a few listens - I like it a lot, could almost be a 'lost Springsteen record' from around that period.. The weak points are that very few of the 'songs' seem as strong as the ones on darkness, some seem a bit lightweight but the high points are most of the vocals are sublime! If you like Bruce's vocals - the way he sings on Darkness on the Edge of Town I don't think you will be disappointed. Is making me remember how I felt when I first heard that album, something about the melancholy singing which is never really recreated on any other album. Well the Promise has this kind of singing in droves!! I need to listen a few more times before I make up my mind on the new songs, but purely for the singing alone, all the alternative versions of the known Bruce songs have been sending shivers down my spine. Definitely gonna get this set on vinyl - I need to hear that moody Because the Night sound filling up my living room!
edit: one thing I keep finding about this album is it keeps sending me off into a dreamy sleep! not in a bad way, I think it's just something in the tone of his Brucenesses' voice - something like a lullaby!

i appreciate the love from this network. if you enjoyed what you saw tonight i beg you to continue to support the roots in the most effective way possible: please buy our albums. if you don't know where to start you can start here
we have 12 albums. all of which we bled and put the same painstaking scrutiny as if our life depended on it.
thank you very much. december has a lot more surprises in store.

Picked up my box set last night. Have just ripped my CDs to play later today. Can't wait to watch the DVDs but I will have to wait till later this week so I can watch them properly. Trying not to devour the notebook in 1 setting - rationing it out. I was at the Houston show that is on the DVD, and I remember reading the newspaper review of it from the Chronicle, which was the paper we got, that is included in the notebook. It MAY even still be upstairs in a box somewhere.

Wow, lucky you!! Just finished watching the Houston DVD. It's perhaps the best rock & roll show ever captured on film.
That DVD is the sex. I think older, its interesting watching it again. I think I can see more now that even then he was something absolutely out of this world talent-wise. I'd forgotten how awesome some of those intros on songs like Prove it All Night were.
Watching and reading about the process of picking the Darkness songs was amazing. The intensity, the sheer work that went into putting that together. Based on the songs on The Promise, it is clear that he got it exactly right. It was also sad seeing Danny Federici talk, with him being gone now.
