The first (early) show was broadcast live by New York’s influential WNEW-FM, and it was a cannibalized home taping of this show off the radio that appeared on the very first-ever Springsteen vinyl bootleg ‘Bruce Springsteen Live’ (Coral Records) in late 1975. However this boot, as well as countless permutations of the performance that came afterwards, was heavily edited, with no in-between song chatter/stories and, in some instances, tracks missing. However the best sound quality release of this show, including (for the first time ever) the entire broadcast without edits, can be found on the CDR "The Way It Was - The Complete Bottom Line Broadcast", and subsequently the CD ‘The Punk Meets The Godfather' (Godfather) and CDR 'The Bottom Line On The Bottom Line' (Hot Stuff). No audio of the late (second) show circulates, but the setlist above has been contributed to Killing Floor by an attendee. "For You" is performed solo at the piano, while "Thunder Road" is full-band at the late show (it is the slow version with Roy on piano and Bruce on harmonica and vocals at the early show). The setlist would also include the only known 1975 performance of the rhythm and blues standard "Route 66".   More Info Broadcast on WNEW-FM in New York, NY, this show possibly represents the beginning of modern Bruce. Bruce had just completed the marathon recording sessions for Born to Run and the tour was ready to start. After a few warm-up gigs, the band hit the Big Apple and began their quest for super-stardom. Unfortunately, the hype started here as well, which culminated in the simultaneous cover stories on Newsweek and Time in October 1975. This show can be nominated as being among the best ever. The radio broadcast led to one of the first vinyl bootlegs back in 1976 called "The Great White Boss" (an allusion to the first bootleg ever, "The Great White Hope" of early Dylan demos). The show was later released on the CD "Live at The Bottom Line." In mid-2004, a fan was able to locate recording of the entire broadcast, DJ chatter and all, and "released" a more complete version called "The Way It Was." The bootleg label Godfather Records used that new complete recording as the source for their own "Punk Meets the Godfather."   Same Show, Different Versions 4The Way It Was - The Complete Bottom Line Broadcast 4The Punk Meets The Godfather' (Godfather) 4The Bottom Line On The Bottom Line' (Hot Stuff)

This was a make-up show that had originally been slated for July 23rd, but which had been postponed (along with three others) due to Bruce coming down with a throat infection. On the audio Bruce can be heard apologizing for being sick and missing the original date. Excellent radio broadcast released on CD 'Fox Theatre Presents The Boss' (PPL), 'Here's To Ya, Pts 1, 2 & 3' (Turtle Records) and in best quality as 'Same Old Played Out Scenes' (Doberman). In August 2011 a pre-FM recording titled 'The Fox' (JEMS) emerged - a major upgrade over the FM broadcasts. Unfortunately this recording is incomplete, missing the encores, around six minutes of "Prove It All Night", and the start of "Racing In The Street". On the flip-side "Backstreets" is now complete, and several spoken segments are no longer missing. The quality of this recording is peerless, and an essential listen. The gig contains the only known Springsteen performance of James Brown's “Night Train” (while the stage is cleaned of the fake snow that fell during "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"), and stand-out renditions of "Independence Day" and "Backstreets". Thanks to Robert for details.

Jungleland 1 - Notes - 1 19.03.1977 - Central Maine Youth Center, Lewiston, ME - + TheBoots.net: “The short tour (7 weeks) of 1977 featured a very depressed Bruce for the most part. Bruce was quoted as saying that it was during this tour that he actually did not want to take the stage on at least one night. The ironic thing about Bruce is that when he's feeling down, he puts on a great show, and there were several of them during 1977, including this one. This version of "Something in the Night" is much more similar to the version on Darkness than the version he performed in the fall of 1976. This tour featured the Miami Horns, who play on "10th Avenue Freezeout," "Rosalita," and a new song, "Action in the Streets.”  - + More Info: Source: Soul Crusaders, ES44/45. Stereo channels edited (fixed some drop-outs), tracks re-indexed, removed some cuts and raised volume on more quiet parts of show. Main reason I opted to edit this show: "It's My Life". Oh, and I was a bit bored too. Bonus tracks include Dont Look Back with some alternative lyrics and Backstreets with the "fucking town into the sea" line.

Back In The U.S.A. - Notes - + Brucebase (05.02.1975): One show, held as a benefit for the ~270 seat coffeehouse, with Springsteen & The E Street Band the sole act on the bill. The show was emceed by DJ Ed Sciaky and began just after 9.00pm. It was not a true simulcast, rather it was broadcast by WMMR-FM on about a 2 hour delay the same night. Interestingly, Springsteen almost backed out of his promise to allow the show to be broadcast. He wanted to play new songs that were still unfinished - it took a concentrated effort by Sciaky on the day of the concert to talk Bruce round. An attendee review of the show from 1975 by critic David Fricke states the show took place on February 3rd, but this appears to be an error by Fricke given detailed interview comments by Sciaky and the recollections of other attendees. Press reports suggest that Springsteen raised over $1,000 for the Main Point. The complete show was broadcast and the above-noted 18 song setlist represents the entire concert. Not only is it one of the longest (160 minutes) single-show gigs up to this point but it's one of the most compelling performances of Springsteen's entire career. There are spellbinding renditions of “Incident", “New York City Serenade” and "For You" (in the solo piano arrangement), the earliest known performances of "Mountain Of Love" and "Thunder Road" (with work-in-progress "Wings For Wheels" title/lyrics) plus a wild, majestic version of Chuck Berry's "Back In The U.S.A.". This famous show has circulated on vinyl boots and tapes since the mid-'70s, but rarely the entire show (early vinyl boots were missing the final 6 songs in the setlist) and always in variable quality. The entire performance is now available in outstanding (though not flawless - see below) sound quality on the CDs ‘The Saint, The Incident & The Main Point Shuffle', in improved quality with a 'Masters Plus' subtitle (both Great Dane), ‘You Can Trust Your Car To The Man Who Wears The Star’ (Labor of Love) and most recently (and in the finest overall quality yet) on 'Prodigal Son At The Main Point' (Prodigal Son) and ‘Main Point Night’ (Crystal Cat). Also released to retail stores in the UK on a 2 CD set entitled 'Live At The Main Point' (Left Field Media) in April 2011. This is not an official Sony release, rather an enterprising record label taking advantage of a legal loophole. Unfortunately this release suffers from the same sonic problems detailed below and sounds much the same as the other releases. In July 2011 the final 63 minutes finally emerged in improved quality, thanks to a home-taping enthusiast from Philadelphia. He recorded the concert on reel at 3-3/4 IPS, and the result is a significant upgrade. The quality may not quite match the pre-FM segment, but it is the best we can expect unless a pre-FM source of the last hour should be found. A promotion-only 7” flexidisc issued to subscribers of Austrian pop magazine ‘Rennbahn Express’ in June 1981 contains Sciaky’s intro from this show, albeit edited to avoid references to WMMR and The Main Point. Thanks to Lost in the Flood for the flexidisc info. The final 63 minutes or so of this show (from around eight minutes into "Kitty's Back" onwards) has never surfaced in collector circles in quite as crisp, clear and dynamic a sound quality as the rest of the show. There are a couple of possible explanations for this but the most likely reason is that the early part of the show has been sourced from pre-broadcast reels (or copies of them) but the latter part of the show is sourced from a broadcast reel (which involves compression). In an interview in Backstreets Magazine #82 Ed Sciaky mentioned some important information, "We didn't have a phone line from the Main Point, so they had to tape the show in hour-long segments and then drive them to the station and put them on the air... and after the final reel had played, Bruce's lighting guy Marc Brickman (Lighting Director) took all of the tapes. So we (WMMR) never got a good copy of the show”. The concert broadcast was also likely to have been submitted to some kind of auto-limiter, designed to limit the volume difference between loud and quiet segments. This effect is audible throughout the FM broadcast. Contrary to myth the police siren heard at the conclusion of “Incident On 57th Street” is an audio prop that had been utilized at a few of Bruce’s shows just prior to this one, i.e. it was not a real vehicle.
