Audience tape, released on CDRs ‘New Orleans Night’ and ‘Louisiana Fever’. An attendee recalls that "the show started about forty minutes late because the stage motor burned out and they couldn't move the stage back so some people didn't have seats. They were offered their money back but wanted to stay. Bruce came out and apologized for the delay and said he and the band would try to make up for it with the show. THEY DID! To this day, still the best I ever saw." Show includes an instrumental version of the song "Honky Tonk" which was originally a #2 record for Bill Doggett in 1956. According to historian Priore, his was the first rock 'n' roll instrumental hit, and the Beach Boys were the first, and one of the only, surf bands to cover it. A newspaper review of the August shows in New York City states that "Heartbreak Hotel" was played tonight: "You never see the same show twice. He's got a limitless repertoire. When he played New Orleans, something happened with the sound system. So they all got out from behind their instruments and they all sang "Heartbreak Hotel" spontaneously." Unfortunately this event cannot be corroborated by the audience recording. Thanks to Jean-Claude for the corrections and research on "Honky Tonk". notes from brucebase
very short on working links to anything from 1977, a few bits and pieces from 78, the old btx mp3 index is literally a disaster zone up to jan 74 and not much better after until we get to the river obviously though that little collection was pieced together from far and wide. Not attempted bitusa yet and still battling it out with the tunnel tour. Not expecting great results from 'the other band' or tom joad tours either. Got most of the outtakes covered though so it's just a case of getting the links together in some chronological fashion.

Audience tape and soundboard. Show features Bruce’s earliest known cover of the Darlene Love-Phil Spector classic “A Fine, Fine Girl”. This gig has traditionally been noted in books as Springsteen’s first-ever large indoor arena concert as a headliner - however in reality the Springsteen show at Vets Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on September 26th probably deserves that title. This show’s encores were released on the CD boot ‘Arena Rock’ (Palace), which is otherwise primarily the soundboard tape from August 22nd show. The complete audience recording is available on CDR as part of the "Original Master Series". Nearly 14 minutes of semi-pro color film footage of excerpts of "Jungleland” and “Born To Run” from this show are in circulation and can be found (with rough soundboard audio) on the DVD ‘Bruce Springsteen: 8MM’ (Brucevideos).
