@Buddhabone seems like you were right!!!!
Cracking release confirmed by the nugs blog https://blog.nugs.net - not yet out but probably due shortly. Also confirms that the only multitrack recordings from 1984 were from this NJ run, which is rather bittersweet.
Can’t wait for this one nonetheless!! (Sure I’m not alone in saying that)
A bit late to the party, but that Racing, oh my.
This version of 'Racing In The Street'... wow.
Quickly becoming my favourite Archive of the year.
Just got around to surf that old internet - and hell yeah! I'm so happy with this release. Just bought it, downloading it now. Can't wait to listen to it! 'Street Fighting Man' sounds great, hopefullly the rest of the show sounds just as good!
I'm off to read Mario's review. I haven't bought this one, was very tempted after hearing Street Fighting Man but, if it has a perfect Racing, then I'm very tempted.
Based on the setlist, I was looking forward mostly to Racing, so I listened to that song first.
And boy, what a song, what a performance!! I just love it!!
It might just be my favorite version of racing? I simply love it.
I had it on repeat today so I have not even heard the rest of the show yet!! (Except street fighting man, which was sublime as well).
Looking forward to tomorrow to listen to the show in its entirety :)
Thanks Mario. Even if we're just readin' in the dark... 😋
Trapped put into context, following Nebraska is the highlight for me, as Buddha said, immensely powerful. I don't know if it's because of the mix, or was the crowd especially wild that night, but hearing all those people scream transported me back to the times of mega fandom. Man at the top he was, and acted accordingly. He was an explosive on stage.
I think it's an amazing show, I will have to listen to it a couple of times before I will be able to rank the 3 BitUSA shows.
Hi everyone, sorry for the delay!
Hope this is worth your time: https://cantfindtickets.wordpress.com/2020/09/19/new-from-the-springsteen-archive-august-6th-1984-east-rutherford-nj/
No Detroit Medley ...... I think i thought that was still an every night occurrence at that point of the tour ....
Nebraska into Trapped is devastating and true. Artists know something in the air before others often see it. He knows a lot in those days and he wasn't just a cartoon strongman slinging those songs. There is magic in the night in that old Meadowlands Arena. I finally made it there in 1999. My gosh a great recording.
Then you add the intro to My Hometown. Wow. I love this guy, these songs and shows.
Where's Mario's review? 🤔
Even sitting home, listening on the couch, a Springsteen concert can bring it all out of me.
Just had an earthquake during Prove It All Night.
That put the roll in rock and roll.
This tour was so shit-hot and rocking.
Played it at work, but on a busy Friday it was mostly background music.
Now I'm home, stoned and starting it at the top for a full listen. This is the way I like to hear these shows.
So according to the essay, this version of Nebraska is the same one used for the Live 75-85 box. In which case, we have another example of studio trickery on that box to ponder... the presence of harmonica on the box set and it's absence on the Archive version.
Just bought it and started listening. Up to Nebraska so far.
At this point in the Archives, with so many multiple versions of many songs, the moments where things go wrong are as entertaining as the truly sublime ones. So I got a bit of a kick out of the stumbles and fluffed lines in Spirit.
Interestingly, this recording doesn't have that weird tape starting noise that both the other two 1984 recordings had at the start. Still not sure why that was included on the other two and not edited out. Well, include it once on the first one for a laugh but why leave it on a second recording.
I prefer 7-25-92. 😀
The LOUDEST crowd ever, at the beginning of the show.
Hoping some kind soul will upload Open All Night to You Tube ....really want to hear that !!!!
