    Absolutely one of the greatest Bruce/ E-Street shows out there, top to bottom, to my tastes. I probably go back to this one more than most shows/ albums I’ve got. It was such a great, transitional period for them that’s been sadly absent from the official catalog. Thanks for reminding me to take another spin!

    The live version of “It’s Hard to be a Saint in the City” is so much better than the album version than I can’t even listen to the album one anymore.

    I have a radio pull on a crappy old cassette, I was there and thanks for putting this up!

    I have been searching for this show for YEARS! I grew up in the area and the folklore of that one night @ The Main Point (10 years before I was even born) has always stayed with me.

    Thank you so very much for sharing.
