| Tech Notes | Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band December 31, 1975 Tower Theatre Philadelphia (Upper Darby), PA Uber Series: Vol 33 Generous/Mysterious Uber --> CDR --> EAC --> FLAC Frontend At first blush, this tape might seem a bit ho hum as a complete soundboard recording of the 12/31/75 show has been in circulation for years (as are other nights from the same stand). But make no mistake, you have never heard this before. The previously circulating soundboard (generally attributed to be sourced from the late, great Ed Sciaky) was recorded live to two-track, likely on cassette or perhaps reel, and it sounds a lot like other '75 board sources. But it turns out a multi-track recording was also made on 12/31/75, and in early 1976 those multi-tracks were mixed down to stereo for consideration of a live album that never happened. These nine songs are taken directly from the 1976 production reels of those mixes and offer what is arguably the finest live recording of the era. Undoubtedly, the official Hammersmith release sounds great, but it was mixed in 2005, not 1976. If you thought Springsteen was in your living room on the WGOE session, the entire E Street Band is there this time. Track Listing 1. Night 2. 10th Avenue Freezeout (slow) 3. Spirit in the Night 4. Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street? 5. It's My Life 6. Pretty Flamingo 7. It's Hard to be a Saint in the City 8. Mountain of Love 9. Jungleland It's pretty much safe to say that had any of those songs, apart from Spirit and Saint, made the Live 75-85 set, said live set would have been that much better. --FSM |
