The 1978 release of Bruce Springsteen's "Darkeness On the Edge of Town" and the tour that ensued are the stuff of rock n roll legend. These songs, that are now staples in his show, were brand new and toured for the first time. It was this tour Springsteen and the E Street Band went from clubs to larger theaters and arenas with shows stretching out over 3 hours. On Darkness gone is the production of Born to Run (think Phil Spector Wall-of-Sound) and what results is a gritty rock record that still holds up today. Includes songs, "Badlands", "The Promised Land", "Darkness", "Candy's Room" "Prove It All Night", among others. This is a recent reissue.
