Annotation

Recorded for broadcast on KMET‐FM, and regarded as one of Springsteen’s best ever performances, this outstanding show captures the Boss at the height of his powers, near the outset of his legendary Darkness Tour.

The remarkable set list includes live premieres of his classics Point Blank, Raise Your Hand and Independence Day (performed solo on piano for the sole time on the tour), as well as standards such as Twist & Shout, Rave On and Heartbreak Hotel.

It’s presented here complete with background notes and images.
