Professionally recorded for radio broadcast by WNEW-FM at Capitol Theater in Passiac, NJ on September 19, 1978.

Captured just after the release of his milestone Darkness On The Edge Of Town album, this legendary concert was professionally recorded for radio broadcast by WNEW-FM.

With his energy peaking on his home turf, the Boss turned in a remarkable performance including what many consider to be his best ever renditions of Racing In The Street and Thunder Road.

The full uninterrupted concert is presented here over 3 CDs, complete with background notes and images.
