Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
2008-05-07
Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank NJ

Description:

This historic Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band show features the Darkness on the Edge of Town and Born To Run albums in their entirety, plus encores. The band has never performed these albums in their entirety before.

The Count Basie Theatre holds about 1500 and this was the band's first performance in a venue this small in 30 years.

The show was a benefit to raise money to renovate the historic Count Basie Theatre; it raised $3 million, with auction ticket prices ranging from $1,000 to $15,000 per seat.

The recording sounds quite good for an audience recording from the back of the orchestra. There is some crowd clapping, yelling, singing along, and a little talking, but it's not too obnoxious. The band drowns out the audience during most songs. I'd rate it 8.5/10.

This is my first torrent and I hope you enjoy it!
