this kind of makes me think this show will be included in the yet to be talked about upcoming release of the 30th anniversary special package for the release of " Darkness On The Edge Of Town " .

Yeah, I was thinking that too... that would be incredible. I think I'd die if they came out with a remastered version of Darkness plus that show on DVD.

Anon · May 2008

only problem i had with the Born To Run boxset was there was no cd of outakes. an EP would've been nice! "Lonely Night In The Park", "Thunder Road" acoustic, "Born To Run" with the female vocals, "A Love So Fine", "Paradise By The C", "Walking In The Street", "Linda Let Me Be The One" the version that wasn't on Tracks, etc.

alot of Darkness era outtakes came out on Tracks but we're still missing some: Goin' Back, Winter Song, Janey Needs A Shooter (probably his best bside), Prove It All Night (with Something In The Night lyrics), Racing In The Street alternate version with harmonica, Taxi Cab/City At Night, Fire, Preachers Daughter, etc.

i do expect a remastered Darkness, a live show from Arizona 1978, a documentary (that tribute to Danny gave us a glimpse of the footage he's sitting on) and some great artwork. Lynn Goldsmith's Springsteen Access All Areas photo book has some great shots of the ESt band on the road for the Darkness tour so hopefully they'll use some of her picts. i'd love to see Darkness as a double disc w/ outtakes on disc 2. i can only hope!

where did you get this tidbit from?

did you go to count basie ?

cannot wait for july !

well, there's been rumors flying around for the past year about a Darkness box. i know for a fact that they had that AZ 1978 concert mix and mastered. Bruce's back catalouge has been long overdo for a total remastering so i assume they'd do the same w/ Darkness that they did w/ the BTR box.

as for a documentary, we can only hope for something as amazing as that Wings For Wheels doc. i don't think it'd take all that much,.....plus they have some time off right now to film all the interviews!! this is just me spitballing here, i really have no idea.

i would be TOTALLY shocked if we don't get anything for the Darkness 30th anniversery. for as well loved as the record is, Bruce has to give his fans something.

Saturday night at 11PM WMMR in Philly will be broadcasting Bruce's show from Feb 5, 1975 at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr PA. Below is info on the show and WMMR can be streamed online at http://www.wmmr.com.

05/02/75 - THE MAIN POINT, BRYN MAWR, PA

MC intro - INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET (8.10) / MOUNTAIN OF LOVE (2.56) / BORN TO RUN (4.15) / E ST SHUFFLE (12.26) / THUNDER ROAD (5.34) / I WANT YOU (6.00) / SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT (5.52) / SHE'S THE ONE (5.50) / GROWIN’ UP (3.10) / SAINT IN THE CITY (3.18) / JUNGLELAND (9.26) / KITTY'S BACK (11.10) / NEW YORK CITY SERENADE (16.58) / ROSALITA (10.09) / SANDY (6.17) / A LOVE SO FINE (7.13) / FOR YOU (7.03) / BACK IN THE USA (6.17)

ONE show, held as a benefit for the club, with Springsteen & The ESB the sole act on the bill. The show was MC’d by DJ Ed Sciaky and began just after 9pm. It was not a true simulcast, rather it was broadcast by WMMR-FM on about a 2hr delay the same night. An attendee review of the show from 1975 by critic David Fricke (see NEWS below) states the show took place on Feb 3rd - but this appears to be a date error by Fricke given detailed interview comments by Sciaky (see below) and the recollections of other attendees.

The complete show was broadcast and the above-noted 18-song setlist represents the entire concert. Not only is it one of the longest (160 minutes) single-show gigs up to this point but it's one of the most compelling performances of Springsteen's entire career. There are spellbinding renditions of “Incident", “New York City Serenade” and "For You", as well as the earliest known performance of "Thunder Road" (with work-in-progress title/lyrics) plus a wild, majestic version of Chuck Berry's "Back In The USA".

This famous show had circulated on vinyl boots and tapes since the mid-1970's, but rarely the entire show (early vinyl boots were missing the final 6 songs in the setlist) and always in variable quality. The entire performance is now available in outstanding (though not flawless) sound quality on the CDs ‘THE SAINT, THE INCIDENT & THE MAIN POINT SHUFFLE’ (Gdr), ‘YOU CAN TRUST YOUR CAR’ (Labor of Love) and most recently (and in the finest overall quality yet) on ‘MAIN POINT NIGHT’ (Crystal Cat).

The final 55 minutes or so of this show (i.e., from “NYC Serenade” onwards) has never surfaced in collector circles in quite as crisp, clear and dynamic a sound quality as the rest of the show. There are a couple of possible explanations for this but the most likely reason is that the early part of the show has been sourced from pre-broadcast reels (or copies of them) but the later part of the show is sourced from a broadcast reel (which involves compression). In an interview in Backstreets Magazine #82 Ed Sciaky mentioned some important information --- "We didn't have a phone line from the Main Point, so they had to tape the show in hour-long segments and then drive them to the station and put them on the air…and after the final reel had played, Bruce's lighting guy Marc Brickman (nb – the Lighting Director) took all of the tapes. So we (WMMR) never got a good copy of the show”. Note: Contrary to myth the police siren heard at the conclusion of “Incident” was an audio prop that had been utilized at a few of Bruce’s shows just prior to this one (i.e., it wasn’t a real vehicle). Also – a promotion-only, 7” flexidisc issued to subscribers of Austrian pop magazine ‘Rennbahn Express’ in June 1981 contains MC Sciaky’s intro from this show, albeit edited to avoid references to WMMR and The Main Point.

i have this show and it's one of the BEST i've ever heard. the version of "Incident" is just Bruce, piano and a cello. groovy female backing vocals at one point. "Mountain of Love" is amazing as is the embronic version of "Thunder Road" called "Wings For Wheels". worth having for sure.

i downloaded all the MP3s from that show ( Count Basie Darkness/B2R show ) before BTX had the critical error.

im lost without that BTX board and here at the Pit ( which were actually simultaneously " down " briefly yesterday for some time ) and it appears btx is still down .

I have two GA tickets for this show, in hand. I need to trade them for two decent seated tickets, because it turns out my girlfriend and I now won't arrive at the stadium until about 6.30-7pm because we have to wait for her to finish work, and we don't want to be really far back in the crowd.

If anyone has two good seated tickets that they wouldn't mind trading for GA, either reply here or PM me. I can try and arrange to come down to Manchester alone and swap tickets there and then, or i can send them special delivery so that we can have the tickets in the next day or two.
Hope someone can help!

3 Nights in Dublin to open the tour back up- ( that means closer to the giants stadium shows in July )

ROCKIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD
After a three-week break (well, "break," considering how much Bruce has played out in that time), the Magic tour resumes tomorrow night. Three nights in Dublin -- Thursday, Friday, and Sunday -- kick off a two-month European leg for Bruce and the E Street Band. Some related notes:

European show-goers, fill us in!: Don't forget, we count on readers to give us their perspectives with show reports, particularly as Bruce and the band head farther afield. If you're catching any of the upcoming European concerts, we'd strongly encourage you to send us a report -- your thoughts on the night, highlights, setlist if you can -- as soon as possible after the show, to help us with our coverage. If you'd like to fill us in, please email to: onstage@backstreets.com. It's much appreciated.
G.A. policy: We've gotten a lot of questions about the G.A. procedure for Europe, and specifically whether the U.S. rules would carry over. We can't say for certain, but our understanding is that the U.S. entrance policy will not be in effect. With festival seating being more common in Europe, venues there tend to have systems already in place -- no need to override them or fix what ain't broke. If that changes, we'll have word here.
Home fires: Remember how we reported that Patti Scialfa would "definitely" be in Europe? As of now it's looking like... maybe not so definite. Just another reminder of how little in this thing of ours is set in stone.
Magical mystery tour: Speaking of not set in stone, a rumored itinerary for fall U.S. dates has been floating around in recent days. Sources tell us that there's truth to it -- we're likely looking at a two-month arena leg in September and October, leading off with Bruce and the band's August 30 Milwaukee show. But as always, we wait for official confirmation; you'll know when it's posted here that a fall schedule is no longer tentative. View the current official itinerary here.
C'mon, Steve!: For the three Giants Stadium shows -- which are confirmed, marking Bruce and the E Street Band's return to the States in July -- a special package is on the auction block at charityfolks.com. Up for bids are two VIP tickets to your choice of the three shows, along with the chance to meet Little Steven. Proceeds benefit Share Our Strength, working to fight childhood hunger and currently providing disaster relief to victims of the Myanmar cyclone.

I just got back from the first Dublin show. My first time seeing the Boss too.
Holy Shit! It was amazing! I'm not a hardcore fan, so there was a good bit of stuff played that I didn't know, but there were a fair few songs that I did no aswell. Some of my favourites - 10th avenue freeze out, The river, thunder road amongst others. I'll never remember the lot. Anyway, I enjoyed the ones I didn't know equally as much as the ones I did. The new stuff was really great. Radio Nowhere was a standout for me.
Great first experience I must say. Really good crowd. The Boss has amazing energy too, to keep up such a show. Also, it was great to see a lot of younger kids there too with their parents. It's nice to see them getting started early

||Release_Me|| · May 2008

Looking to go to a different gig, so i'm selling these general admission tickets. these are from ticketzone so they're actual GA and not the ones that were moved to seating.

looking for face value or nearest offer, obviously i'd like to sort this out asap because the concert is fast approaching.

pm me or email at r.faulder@lancaster.ac.uk

Most definitely. I won't be going to the next two nights here. They're all sold out and I can't afford it anyway, but next time - I'm there front row centre

I went last night and still can't get over how awful the crowd was.Maybe it was okay where you were but I can safely say I've never seen a worse crowd in my life from where I was for about the first hour.It was actually difficult to hear the music with people talking so loud over it.Concert didn't really pick up til 'Waitin On a Sunny Day' which got everyone singing along,from that point on it was amazing and really enjoyable,'The River' 'Thunder Road' 'Devil's Arcade' 'The Rising'...awesome stuff. The best moment was 'American Land' at which point I was shocked to see people near me going so far as to jump up and down and clap.
My expectations were fairly high,I was at the first Dublin night of the Seeger Sessions which was easily the best gig I've ever been at or probably ever will be at.I didn't know any of the Seeger Session songs at the time and still loved it which says something about that show,it was just great fun and American Land's success last night proved that.I think that's what last night's show was missing,when you have that many yuppies in the crowd they won't get moving listening to hour long guitar and sax solos,you have to get them involved.Fair play to Bruce,he seemed to realise it albeit an hour into it...great show overall though,don't wanna sound ungrateful.It's just that I can't comprehend how people can afford 85 euro for a ticket to something and just stand there and talk.One woman actually gave out to me for shouting 'woo'! I kept doing it and jumping up and down despite the weird looks from people. Nice to see so many families there,I felt the youngest at the Seeger Sessions one but there was plenty of kids on their parents' shoulders at this,always good to see I think.
