The definitive 'Incident On 57th Street'.

Taken from an FM broadcast on WMMR radio in Philadelphia on February 5th 1975 at the Main Point Club.

Note: Contrary to myth, the police siren heard at the end is an audio prop that had been utilized at a few of the band's shows just prior to this one.

Ok, am I the only one that is almost brought to tears by this most excellent and haunting version? There is so much raw emotion, images of years gone by and a feeling of moving through life too fast. I was floored when I pulled this up and listened to it. When those violin strings are being played I feel as if they are tied to every emotion in my body. Thanks Bruce...this is what music is supposed to do to us.

This is when Bruce made real music. Everything after "The River" is crap

@surfricy which part of jungeleand do you find banal?

[surfricy]

This is Bruce at the peak of his powers. Just compare this street story with the overblown somewhat banal lyrics of Jungleland, which was always overrated IMO. After this album, he became a star, but some of the artistry eroded away, alas.
