TubeLover Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 +1.....really interested in this if the sound quality is there. JC Let us know. Link to comment
woodford Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 very curious about this set. I have a digitized copy of a radio broadcast from the Fox Theater/Atlanta show on the same tour, and it's fabulous, although the sound, which is now 3rd gen, is not so great (FM broadcast-->7" open reel--> cassette--> digitized to aiff.) it includes an epic Backstreets/Sad Eyes, and the original tape ran out just as Sad Eyes ended, and before the backstreets reprise. so i'm missing a little of that, and the speed got momentarily screwed up too. and on the first cut (Good Rockin' tonight) ithe tape momentarily slid of the tape head, and since i was recording on a previously new tape, there's a brief interlude of the Marriage of Figaro overture, before it segues back to bruce. i've gotten used to it now. does Backstreets include the Sad Eyes break? not every performance on this tour did.

fritzg Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Let us know. Apparently this went up on Tuesday. I just got an email about it last night. It's a great show. According to the site tapes from the RnR Hall of Fame were given/loaned to Springsteen's camp and they put it through the plangent process and then mastered it in 24/192. It sounds great. Still a bit like an FM broadcast as it was, but better than any bootleg you have from this era. it's a great show, but my favorite from this era is still 09-19-78 from Passaic. Would love to have a pristine copy of that. If you like Bruce and especially if you like the 1978 shows this is a must buy. Link to comment
ted_b Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Was at this show, thanks to friends who knew WMMS personnel (most were given tix from free radio giveaway promo). The Agora was a small basement-like nightclub off the campus of Cleveland State University, a downtown venue. Saw great shows from Robert Palmer, the Police and many others. This particular show was a big deal due to 'MMS's anniversary celebration. The place was a zoo, packed like sardines..but we had an ok spot, again due to friends knowing friends. The station simulcasted it around the country, which spawned the many bootlegs. It was these kinds of shows, and the pull of WMMS in particular, that helped solidify Cleveland's strong position when campaigning began for the R&RHOF. Cousin Brucey was a huge supporter. It was a blessing being twenty-something during those great days of the Cleveland rock scene. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

burnspbesq Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 The "Darkness" tour assumed legendary status because it was the last tour where most of the venues were 2-3,000 seat theaters; after that it was arenas and stadiums. I caught the second night of the tour in Albany, and it was great, but not one for the ages because the band was still feeling its way a little bit. I think I remember hearing the Agora show on WNEW-FM. Bought it, and looking forward to listening later today.

Boris75 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks for the recommendation. I bought the 24/192 files earlier today and am listening to them now: just great! Link to comment
