This 15CD boxset contains five of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's exceptional performances that were broadcast on FM radio between July - December in 1978. The box features over 200 professionally remastered tracks, a 24 page booklet with rare photos and detailed notes presented in a clamshell box.
By the time Darkness On The Edge Of Town was released in June 1978, Bruce Springsteen was firmly established as America’s most exhilarating rock performer. He and the E Street Band relentlessly toured the country from May of that year until January 1st 1979, playing 115 intense shows that have become the stuff of legend. This incendiary new 15-disc set gathers five exceptional performances that were broadcast on FM radio between July and December, and finds the Boss at the peak of his powers, tackling a huge range of material with unstinting energy and passion. Presented with copious background notes and images, it’s an essential addition to any serious Springsteen collection.
