Meeting Across The River – Night Two
By Mitch Berg
Without any further ado – below the fold is the second night of the legendary Capitol Theater gig, from September 20, 1978.
Enjoy
01 Good rockin’ tonight 20
02 Badlands 20
03 Spirit in the night – ten minute raveup.
04 Darkness on the edge of town featuring a brief organ intro by Danny Federici
05 Independence day – an early version of a song that’d pop up on The River in two years.
06 The promised land – birthday presents from the crowd.
07 Prove it all night [With long guitar intro]
08 It’s my life – Clarence on the alto sax, as the band tones down from Prove It All Night, jazzy intro leading into a slow, intense cover that is, for my money, one of the definitive versions of this song,ever.
09 Thunder road
10 Jungleland – the interplay between Clemons’ sax and Federici’s B3…
11 Santa Claus is comin’ to town
12 Fire
13 Candy’s room
14 Because the night
15 Point blank
16 Kitty’s back
17 Incident on 57th street
18 Rosalita (Come out tonight)
19 Born to run
20 10th avenue freeze-out
21 Detroit Medley
22 Twist and shout – Gary Tallent singing? In a nine-minute version of the Isley Brothers (more than the Beatles, in thic case) classic in which the star seems to be Springsteen’s eyebrows, and that turns into an off-kilter samba?
