Bruce Springsteen, live at My Father's Place, Roslyn, New York on July 31st 1973

Whilst touring in support of his debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. (which had appeared in January), Bruce Springsteen played a sold-out, three-night stand in Roslyn, NY. The first night was broadcast live on WLIR-FM, as part of its weekly Tuesday evening simulcast from the club.

Capturing the Boss shortly before the release of his masterful second LP, The Wild, The Innocent & The E-Street Shuffle (several of whose cuts are included, with the unexpected sound of the Mellotron on New York City Serenade), the broadcast is presented here in full.

A treat for all serious fans, it comes with background notes and images.
