The "Magic" is missing

There were at least three tapers in the audience. One has already posted their recording to DimeaDozen and Jungleland. The two other tapers - who each have a reputation for delivering high-quality boots - have yet to post theirs (as far as I know), but should be doing so in the next few days I suspect.

 

Have you heard this one, E Street? Quality?

 

There is already a "Darkness" anniversary double CD/double DVD coming this year:


Add to it that "Darkness" -- considered by many longtime devotees as Springsteen's greatest album -- is ready for a boxed, two-CD/ two-DVD 30th anniversary reissue this year.

 

man, i remember the summer of '78 so vividly. like yesterday. frighteningly so.

 

I'm sure you're going to fire up your Victrola for that one.

I keed. I keed.

can't wait for giants stadium in july!

 

Somehow I missed this post.
The only copy of the show to surface so far is regarded as being fair quality by those who have downloaded it and listened to it. Someone remastered it but it reportedly still has the flaws of sound quality not being great and too many people near the taper talking.
The tapers who have a reputation of delivering great stuff, who were there that night, have yet to upload their shows to Dime and Jungleland.

 

I did hear one that was pretty lousy - spot on about too many people talking. I'll be on the lookout for other sources.

 

I'm getting a bumper sticker that reads:

My Boss is a Dutch-American Rocker

 

Bold emphasis mine

What lies ahead?
The tour with Bruce goes through the summer. We have another album’s worth of material recorded, but no word yet on a release or future tours. Since moving to Montana two years ago I’ve been hired to do some bass tracks via the Internet, although it’s not my favorite way to work. But life is good; I’ve had a blessed career. My lone regret is not having had more serious musical training. I’m trying to do that now, playing more piano and guitar and studying theory. If I had to offer one bit of advice, it would be to take advantage of the many resources out there and learn everything you can about music. It will help you to become the best you can be.

 

I'm sure the Bruce stalwarts here have already read/heard this, but here's the text to his speech he made upon his induction to the New Jersey Hall of Fame:

This just in: The guy can really write.

 

Does he start with a Bo Diddley song in Cardiff? Or a Bruce song with the Bo Diddley beat?

I'd love to hear "Mona" into "She's the One". The version of that from Winterland with the "I Get Mad" story is probably my favorite live performance of any Springsteen song ever.
