some shows in 78 are rips from radio broadcasts. awesome quality.

Hey all - Here is the new bootleg from madison square garden 2009 when they did the wild, the innocent and the e street shuffle.

This boot is of soundboard quality.

I will warn you, this rip has skips on wild billy's circus story and incident on 57th street. I'll repost when those are fixed and flac is available. for now, here is the link:

Never been a big Boss fan. Not sure why...

[watchtower86]

I just went on a downloading tear the other day. I highly suggest the show from Feb. 5th, 1975 at the Main Point, an old and very small venue in the Philadelphia suburbs. The show was broadcast on WMMR so the sound quality is phenomenal. It's just a fantastic show that predates Born To Run and Miami Steve officially joining the band, and was the first ever performance of Thunder Road.

100% recommend this show. God I wish I had been around for the early shows by this band in the 70s. The energy was just electric.

phony? I don't get that at all. can you elaborate?

[Richard Belding]

Some of his stuff can be a little cheesy, especially if someone else was doing it. But it's The Boss. He's the best.

That said...USA! USA! USA!

[Elliott Evans]

My favourites are Missing, Streets of Philadelphia, Lonesome Day, The Rising, Secret Garden, I'm On Fire and Nebraska.

I've been a Springsteen fan since I was little. The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle was one of the 1st records I found when I was tall enough to climb up on the record cabinet and open the top up. I remembered thinking at age 4 or so that Bruce Springsteen & The Beatles were the only people that made music

I've only seen him once but it was amazing....I got to see him with Phish at Bonnaroo

I love all his old stuff, especially greetings from asbury park...not a big fan of the 80's stuff though. Born in the USA makes me want to shoot myself

rumors are going around of a solo tour this year, with the E Street Band touring next year. I wouldn't really be against that

Any rumors of a solo album or is it just a tour.

Springsteen letter to the editor Asbury Park Press:

Thank you for your March 27 front-page story by Michael Symons, "As poverty rises, cuts target aid." The article is one of the few that highlights the contradictions between a policy of large tax cuts, on the one hand, and cuts in services to those in the most dire conditions, on the other.

Also, you've shone some light on anti-poverty workers and analysts such as Adele LaTourette, Meara Nigro, Cecilia Zalkind and Raymond Castro, among others, all of whom have something important to add to the discussion: real information and actual facts about what is happening below the poverty line.

These are voices that in our current climate are having a hard time being heard, not just in New Jersey, but nationally. Finally, your article shows that the cuts are eating away at the lower edges of the middle class, not just those already classified as in poverty, and are likely to continue to get worse over the next few years. I'm always glad to see my hometown newspaper covering these issues.

Awesome. Love me some Bruce.

[Foreverford05]

Id love to see 'this hard land' solo in concert. I think a solo tour would be outstanding.

[Cobo]

I have just Greetings being played, I have that section of the concert, but I may need to get the whole thing.

[Whiteyxc514]

Hey all, I'm interested in learning more of The Boss's music. I only know a few of his songs, mostly the popular singles. Which albums should I check out? I know Born To Run is one of the obvious answers. Thanks

[Richard Belding]

First 4 albums and your life will be changed forever. Enjoy
