Graveyard Boots (1/5) CDR / 3 A View   Pre-FM SBD
Notes: 'Prodigal Son at Winterland: 25th Anniversary Remaster' [Prodigal Son] - a remaster of Crystal Cat's 'Winterland Night' (which itself claimed to be mastered from the original reels) - stellar sound quality but is frustratingly missing the intro to "Rosalita"
Graveyard Boots (1/5) CD / 3 A View   Pre-FM SBD
Notes: 'Winterland Night' [Crystal Cat] - claims to be mastered from the master reel soundboard - great sound quality and one of Springsteen's greatest performances - bonus from '78 audience recordings

Notes: Broadcast on KSAN, FM Broadcast ans Soundboard tapes - This is a master reel recording and includes the last three tracks not broadcast. What can you say! The versions of Promised Land and Prove It All Night are exceptional and Backstreets is better than that. Probably the most famous show Bruce will ever do. It should be noted that the source tape appears to run slightly slow. Released on CD "Live At Winterland" (GS) & "Live In The Promised Land" (GDR)

Notes: This show is in SHN format. Sound is a bit tinny, but that is only flaw. Very little crowdnoise, probably a lossy soundboard feed...i dunno

Notes: The sound reminds me of the Roxy show I heard from earlier in the tour that the mix isnt quite nearly as good as it should have been. Good show though, and very enjoyable. Read tech notes for the exact setlist (there are bonus tracks).

The stretch run of the Darkness tour featured several differences from early in the tour, most notably Bruce's regular inclusion of The Fever and Point Blank, as well as opening the second set with The Ties That Bind. This show is another nomination for greatest show of all time, and another show with which you should start your collection. The performances of Prove It All Night, The Promised Land, and Backstreets are some of the best of all time. Available on the CDs "Winterland Night" and "Live in the Promised Land." It should also be noted that this show was another of the early vinyl bootlegs, also called "Live in the Promised Land," but the source tape was from the broadcast and does not include the last two songs. By this time, Bruce knows that radio broadcasts really help the bootleg industry, and he dedicates Racing in the Street to all the guys on Kingsley and Ocean Avenues (along the Jersey Shore) who will hear this show "through the magic of bootlegging." This was Bruce's last radio broadcast until July 3, 1988.
