The Darkness Tour 1978

~ Release by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

By the time that Darkness on the Edge of Town was released in June 1978, Bruce Springsteen was firmly established as rock’s most exhilarating live performer. He relentlessly toured America with the E‐Strret Band from May of that year until January 1st 1979, playing 115 intense shows that have become the stuff of legend.
This new 3‐CD set collects many exceptional recordings made for FM radio broadcast at the time, and finds the Boss tackling both classics of his own and a variety of infectious rock ’n’ roll covers. It’s presented here with background notes and images.
