this is a new transfer of a recording that has been in circulation
for many years...my first springsteen show, i got in early with 
a friend who had a press pass. it was a general admission show 
and the first few rows were roped off for the press, so i sat 
down front and center and stayed there for the entire early show. 
contrary to the misinformation in brucebase, this is the complete 
early show and rosalita was the final song of the set. unfortunately, 
they cleared the house after the early show, the crowd was lined up
around the block for the late show and i was unable to get back
in. in the span of about 26 hours, i saw boz scaggs, steve miller,
bruce springsteen and bonnie raitt, all for under $10.
