  1. Originally posted by loftarasa:Ade this is anincredible service! I am in a Bruce Springsteen listening week and the links will help built up a nice bootleg library. I just wonder if you happen to know a site like achtungbootlegs or u2start which has an overview what the quality is like for each bootleg recording, eg. if it's audience, soundboard or IEM.

    he really is .. are you going to any concerts ..Hannover, Munich, Leipzig, Moencheglaback? all of them? somewhere else? hehe

    and you Ade .. Wembley? Conventry? Glasgow?

    München (Munich), Hannover and London . How about you??
  3. Padova and San Siro for now .. for eventual others will see in time .. the irish ones are so tempting but hard too for example .. Paris too
    but i also want to see if other bands clash with him .. i already have to miss one cause of the Boss

    the only one i might (and it's a big might cos it's at least a 400 mile round trip) is wembley.

  7. very good site thanks .. bad it hasn't been updated since 2004 .. so brucebase remains my "bible" hehe
  8. The last couple of days I went through the same process like 6 years ago when I discovered U2 for me: The live qualities of an artist intrigued me to dig deeper to see what he or she or they is/are really all about (attitude, humour, social conscience...).

    What I found out so far makes Mr Springsteen one of the few artists whose whole package appeals to me in a very "personal" way I'd say. I think I love everything about him.

    So the last couple of days I downloaded quite a bunch of bootlegs (thanks again Ade!!!!!) and want to experience some more Bruce live fascination.

    However, as a day only has got 24 hours (ouch!) I'd like to ask if any of you bootleg-listeners have a kind of playlist with their favourite live versions. I'd be happy happy HAPPY to check it out! You don't necessarily have to upload it, the date and location would be enough information for me to go look for it.

    Here's what I came up with so far. Sadly not yet really structured and frankly just starting from scratch so to speak:

    Growin' Up (2009 11-22 - Buffalo)
    Drive All Night (1980 11-05 - Tempe)
    (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher (1977 03-24 - Boston)
    We Are Alive (2012 07-09 - Zurich)
    The E Street Shuffle (1975 08-13 - New York)
    Light of day (MTV Plugged - Live in Concert 1992)
    Backstreets (1978 12-15 - San Francisco)


    In a German forum I found the following suggestion for live songs on a kinda "Bruce-for-Beginners"-CD:
    Reason To Believe (Live Version, Magic-Tour)
    This Little Light Of Mine (Live in Dublin)
    Thunder Road (Live 1975-85)
    Streets Of Philadelphia (Oscars 1994 or Live version from the Hungry Heart CDs from 1995)
    Long Walk Home (HH Version)

    Any help / song suggestions are highly appreciated!


    I'd also like to ask for any help in finding this particular bootleg (torrent or download links I found on the web/jungle are not available anymore):
    2005-07-31 - Prodigal Son's Night Of Debuts
    ^^ This one has a tremendous live version of Valentine's Day on it; just found that out today morning, thanks to a list posted on the German Rolling Stone website.
  9. someone on btx has asked for 31 7 05 if it's ever responded to i'll post the links - 2005 has become a disaster zone in terms of working links. We've got someone delivering 105 dvd's of mp3 to two people to up and share but clearly that won't happen overnight.

    this is a link to the grand rapids show on 3 8 05 but the bonus tracks include valentines day etc from colombus.

    and the putlocker download link works i just checked.
  10. very welcome on board Katja ... not only 24h a day are not enough but also 365 days a year are not to cover and satisfy the need of Bruce live (and outtakes rarities etc) hehe

    about playlist i don't think i'd be of much help as, like for the album, i'm for listening the whole concert from start to end and not mixes.
    i can report some remarkable as soon as they will pass through my ears if you want

    for example on 2 feet

    Prove It All Night - Atlanta 30 sep1978
    i'm on Fire - Rome 06 jun 2005 (i don't usually like this song that much but this is something else)
  11. Thank you ade for the hint! I actually saw that myself today but didn't check the link coz I believed the note there .

    Thanks for your suggestions clover! I got the Rome bootleg already and will check it out .

    You are right about the outtakes and rarities hehe - I just started to listen to the Lost Masters vol. series yesterday or the day before. There's a best of-compilation of these 19 (I think) CDs but I'd like to go through myself.
    I'm really astounded by how interesting and as good some alternate takes are.

    Here's my list so far. I hope I - WE - can update it from time to time


    1975
    The E Street Shuffle (1975 08-13 - New York)
