The Asbury Park All Star Revue
(led by Steven Van Zandt and included the Asbury Jukes, Ronnie Spector, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band)
Not the best recording (but has any excellent recording come out of that venue, now known as the Count Basie Theater?), but one of the more interesting ones.

Audience tape - Tour rehearsals. These are predominantly full versions with some minor style differences in some cases. Its My Life is a different arrangement but is cut and The Promise is the full E St Band arrangement only played once live. Only known live The Way and Spanish Eyes. The song Broken Hearted appears to be a Bruce original so it can only be assumed that this is a Darkness out-take which has not appeared from the studio takes as yet. * denotes Southside singing over what sounds like the Darkness studio out-takes.
Quality varies quite a lot but there are some real gems in here. Released on CDR "On Yer Mark"

First Point Blank since 7/7/78 with different lyrics and musical feel, along with the return of Independence Day. Backstreets is not played for the first time as a full band version of Incident on 57th Street replaces it.

This concert, recorded on September 17, 1978 at the Palladium in New York City, preceded a gig two nights later, across the river in Passaic, New Jersey. Surely, you’re familiar with that one. But the Palladium is no warm-up, or even a dress rehearsal.
It's a standard Darkness tour installment, albeit with a few bonuses in the set: “Incident on 57th Street,” and, by request, the first “Meeting Across the River” since 1976. This upgrade makes for a wonderful listening experience.
Springsteen surely knew that his next gig was an FM radio broadcast and a stop where professional recording would capture the music. This Palladium date could be the one after which he handed off his trusty Fender (the Esquire, as it’s known) to ace luthier Phil Petillo for a mid-tour tune-up. The calendar and his remarks in Passaic make that a possibility.
He and the E Street Band sound relaxed and ready. They'd consistently added new material to the set, and kept that going through the turn into autumn, surely pleasing the repeat customers from the August run at Madison Square Garden.
Once again, we’re graced with an amazing stereo recording from the soundboard. There’s a lot to pick up on here, whether the terrific separation or roomy ambiance — dig the interplay between Roy Bittan and the rest of the band as “Kitty’s Back” moves into the three- and four-minute marks. Springsteen’s guitar work is equally superb.
Like the upgrade from Kansas City, one wonders whether a precise recording was planned to prepare for the broadcast two nights later.
This is an excellent material upgrade to all circulating versions, the Hussey Remaster of the "Lost Soundboard" tape features "Prove It All Night" 'complete' but we have confirmed that all verified 1st Gen > DAT copies that are not in circulation, that we know of, contain the cut in "Prove It All Night". Not knowing the actual source of the portion we would have used to patch and the fact the frequency signature is very different (big quality drop) we have chosen to leave as is with the splice in place (smoothed of course).
This one was a JEMS group project beginning with AK's fantastic DAT clone off of the 1st generation cassettes of the Soundboard. Our partner Professor Goody added his pitch perfect ear to get us in tune along with a number of other tweaks to the file, mjk5510 did the final mastering work and post production, Butterking oversaw the project keeping us all on track providing his unmatched mastering knowledge and slipkid68 lent his formidable writing skills to the notes.
