Amazing value. 5 full fm radio broadcasts in a glossy box with a booklet about the concerts. 15 cd's, 3 per concert. The legendary ' Darkness' tour from 1978.. Unbelievable playing from Bruce and the E Street Band especially Roy BIttan on piano on songs Racing in the street, Backstreets, She's the one, Jungleland and Point Blank, performed for the first time with original lyrics to the final River cut. Stories of growin up with that 'goddam guitar' and Bruce and Steve's journey to find Thunder road. The night they saw Santa. I could go on but if you like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band particularly the early years then this is a must.

These are the FM broadcasts that catapulted "The Boss" to national prominence. Already known as a songwriter, these demonstrated the live prowess of the E Street Band for those who hadn't seen the light yet. Bootlegs (Capitol Theater, Winterland, & etc.) made from these shows created many fans. These are excellent quality, and they still blow me away. It is fun to listen to the chronological development of the "Darkness" tour. If you are reading this, I just have one question for you: Why haven't you bought this already?

I remember listening to the live Cleveland broadcast and became an instant fan. These 15 CD's capture a glimpse of his live performances and I've seen a few. But this set also captures his storytelling and humor that is Bruce Springsteen. Not every cut is a gem, however, there is most than enough to satisfy the casual fan. An essential part of anyone collection.
