Totaly agree that these records were some of his best work..but they just didnt sell enough. Bruce's was pressured by his record company to have a more mass appeal basicly.
HIs music was so much cooler before he became famous... David Sancious and Ernest Carter added such a formidable jazz pedigree to the whole thing and Springsteen was adventurous
@Wamz1978 My thoughts exactly. The band was never the same after David Sancious. Later it became more of arena rock than the adventurous stuff they did when David Sancious was in the band and doing all that improvisational stuff.
@belitnakoff Definitely... I like these early records (especially the album this tune is off of) , I'm not a fan really of the later stuff... just very wild and unpredictable, very fun. More "urban" in both style and in the content of the tunes
is this Kent State 19 Jan 1974, or Nashville 29 Jan 1974? The show that many bootleggers including Great Dane first labeled as Jan 19 was actually the show from 10 days later...
Bruce played at Swarthmore College, the spring of 1974. I enrolled that autumn, missing him by a few months. We only had 1,200 students, The Boss wasn't yet The Boss, but can you imagine him playing small venues just as he was breaking out into stardom. and cursed my luck. Thanks, Rocklyaway for taking me back to Bruce's early days!
Thanks Rocklyaway for this rare early version. It shows Bruce and the Band learning to be rock and roll stars. The beat is a little too fast. One of the best Kitty versions was the one the band did on Conan OBrien but megaconglomerate NBC took it off You Tube because it might lose a dime.
