Bruce Springsteen/MA, USA 1978

This is a rare sound source item from the early days of the Darkness Tour. This title is a wonderful sound quality audience recording of the Boston performance one week after the start of the tour, and its quality even surpasses “NASSAU COLISEUM 1978”. It is a wonderful sound source with a spacious sound that clearly captures the sense of presence and performance that can only be expected from a venue smaller than Nassau. However, only a small amount of the opening song “Badlands” was recorded, and the beginning of the next song “Night” was not recorded, and the skipping at the beginning of “Thunder Road” and the tape recording at the beginning of “Paradise By The “C”” It is also a fatal flaw that there are some defects here and there, such as cuts and the intro cut in “Backstreets”. However, to compensate for that, a lot of valuable performances would have captured the live premiere of “Because The Night”. The first live performance of this song, which will become familiar after this, has a completely different arrangement from the subsequent live versions, and the unfinished state of the performance suggests that it was a abandonment. It is no wonder that it was sealed for a while after this, perhaps because the arrangement was too rough. Fortunately, there is no damage to the recording of “Something In The Night” and the high-key “Prove It All Night”, which were unique to this extremely rare live premiere and early part of the tour, and you can enjoy the early performances with even better sound quality than the last time. It’s an item. Live at Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA 30th May 1978 TRULY AMAZING SOUND Disc 1 1. Badlands 2. Night 3. Spirit In The Night 4. Something In The Night 5. For You 6. The Promised Land 7.
