Bruce Springsteen/MD, USA 1977

From the 1977 US tour, which was the year before the release of “The Town Howling in the Dark”, which followed his masterpiece “Runaway Without Tomorrow”, we will be recording the performance at Towson State University, Maryland on March 13th in two different high-speed performances. The sound quality audience source has been edited and remastered, and is almost completely recorded. First of all, this tour, which has become a legend among fans for having more intense performances than the Darkness Tour in 1978, has released fewer items so far due to its short duration. That is the current situation. In such a situation, the high-tension performance from the opening and the lively blues shouts are clearly seen from the 1977 tour. Also, depending on the song, the Miami Horns appeared as a guest, and some songs were played only on this tour. The introduction of the announced song “Action In The Streets” is a valuable composition unique to the middle of the tour. And the highlight of this tour, the long and fierce performance of the terrifying “Backstreets”, seems to symbolize the charm of this tour. DISC ONE : 01. Night/02. Don’t Look Back/03.
