Bruce Springsteen/WI, USA 1978

The live show was held on June 8th, which was still in the early stages of the Darkness tour, but compared to the earliest live recordings we released in the past, such as “DARKNESS STARTS HERE” and “EARLY DARKNESS,” it was a lot more careful than we were at that time. The atmosphere has turned into momentum. While the sense of speed is appealing, it is also attractive that the new songs at that time still have a compact performance that looks fresh. Even at this point, the live composition follows the pattern of the first half of the tour, and it is also valuable that they are playing “Something In The Night”, which will no longer be played in September. Moreover, the performance is highly complete, and it cannot be overlooked as a new sound source of a live performance where this song was still being played regularly. However, there are many parts where the performance is not as sophisticated as in September, and “Prove It All Night”, which can be said to be the secret to the popularity of this tour, is still a rough performance with the key raised and the atmosphere significantly different from the album version. You may be surprised that it is. I often changed the arrangement to this extent (lol). However, even during such a performance, Springsteen’s guitar is exploding, and the way he plays it so much is also rough and fresh. At this point, it can be said that it is a sound source that has proven that it was still in the early stages of the tour. You will be surprised not only by the content but also by the quality of the sound. It may be said that the negative points are that there was a tape problem between “Racing In The Street” and “Thunder Road”, so there was a slight cut, and that there was a noticeable hiss noise around those songs. not. However, the recording condition was very clear, and the sound image was very easy to listen to when it was on, and the accurate adjustment of the high pitch made it even easier to listen to. I don’t think this maniac tour early sound source will ever be released as an item, so please get this valuable sound source for the first time! Dane County Memorial Coliseum, Madison, WI.
