Essendo un periodo di ferie un po’ per tutti che occasione migliore per
riscoprire qualche vecchio post?
Uno dei miei bootleg preferiti A long way from the boardwalk.
Libro bellissimo, lo avete letto?
Un anno fa invece si parlava di ….
Buon riposo a tutti!
Come è possibile che siano passati già sei anni dal mio tour preferito?
I know what it’s like to have failed, baby
With the whole world lookin’ on
I know what it’s like to have soared
And come crashin’ like a drunk on a bar room floor
Now you got no reason to trust me
My confidence is a little rusty
But if you don’t feel like bein’ alone
Baby, I could walk you all the way home
Well now our old fears and failures
Baby, they do linger
Like the shadow of that ring
That was on your finger
Those days they’ve come and gone
Baby, I could walk you all the way home
Love leaves nothin’ but shadows and vapor
We go on, as is our sad nature
Now it’s some old Stones’
Song the band is trashin’
But if you feel like dancin’
Baby, I’m askin’
It’s comin’ on closing time
Bartender, he’s ringin’ last call
These days I don’t stand on pride
And I ain’t afraid to take a fall
So if you’re seein’ what you like
Maybe your first choice he’s gone
Well that’s all right
Baby, I could walk you all the way home
Baby, I could walk you all the way home
Finirò mai di riordinare i bootleg?

Grande occasione persa per sentire Drive all night
Il testo:
We met out on open streets when we had no place to go
I remember how my heart beat when you said I love you so
Then little by little we choked out all the life that our love could hold
Oh no
CHORUS
It’s like we had a noose and baby without check
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other, darlin’, to say when
Well baby you can meet me tonight on the loose end
We didn’t count tomorrows, we took what we could and baby we ran
There was no time for sorrow, every place we went I held your hand
And when the night closed in I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know
But oh no
CHORUS
Our love has fallen around us like we said it never could
We saw it happen to all the others but to us it never would
Well how could something so bad, darling, come from something that was so good
I don’t know
CHORUS
Direi che dopo una settimana i numeri del sondaggio sul futuro della E-Street Band sono abbastanza chiari.
Secondo il 76,9% Springsteen farà un altro tour con la E-Street e al posto di Big Man prenderà suo nipote (66,7%).
Sul futuro di Springsteet, alternativo a un tour con la E-street, ci sono due risposte pari merito.
Hanno infatti raggiunto il 44,4% sia l’ ipotesi di un tour stile Devils & Dust che un altro tour stile Seeger Sessions.
Che ne pensate?
Questo è uno dei bootleg di Springsteen che bisogna assolutamente avere!
Anzi se a qualcuno manca glielo mando (massimo 3 lettori).
Le copertine le trovate qui e qui.

Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.
He recorded many of the major 70’s bands: Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several “under the radar” acts.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ’ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.
The transfers are available as 16bit/44.1KHz flac files suitable for CD burning, and also as 24bit/96KHz flac files for those who prefer the higher resolution.
Always remember – the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you.

Dopo la morte di Clarence Clemons cosa pensate succederà della E-Street band?
Cosa deciderà di fare Bruce Springsteen?
Springsteen rende omaggio a Warren Zevon pochi giorno dopo la sua morte.
Le parole di My Ride’s here
I was staying at the Marriott
With Jesus and John Wayne
I was waiting for a chariot
They were waiting for a train
The sky was full of carrion
“I’ll take the mazuma”
Said Jesus to Marion
“That’s the 3:10 to Yuma
My ride’s here…”
The Houston sky was changeless
We galloped through bluebonnets
I was wrestling with an angel
You were working on a sonnet
You said, “I believe the seraphim
Will gather up my pinto
And carry us away, Jim
Across the San Jacinto
My ride’s here…”
Shelley and Keats were out in the street
And even Lord Byron was leaving for Greece
While back at the Hilton, last but not least
Milton was holding his sides
Saying, “You bravos had better be
ready to fight
Or we’ll never get out of East Texas tonight
The trail is long and the river is wide
And my ride’s here”
I was staying at the Westin
I was playing to a draw
When in walked Charlton Heston
With the Tablets of the Law
He said, “It’s still the Greatest Story”
I said, “Man, I’d like to stay
But I’m bound for glory
I’m on my way
My ride’s here…”
Buon fine settimana (sperando nel bel tempo come al solito).
Qualcuno ha mica la copertina di questo vecchio bootleg di Springsteen datato 19 settembre 1978?
Si tratta della registrazione originale di uno dei suoi concerti più famosi grazie a bootleg come Passaic Night o Pièce de Résistance.
La scheda:
Bruce Springsteen
Capital Theatre, Passaic, NJ
“The Way It Was – 9/19/1978”
This is the original UNEDITED FM broadcast from WNEW-FM that night,
including all the station breaks, DJ chat, and a halftime interview
with WNEW DJ Vin Scelsa. DJ’s Richard Neer and Pat Dawson anchored the
show for WNEW and also for the East Coast radio network, which
included many other stations in New England and the mid-Atlantic.
The show is presented in it’s entirety and in sequence – the chat and
interview are played during the between-sets break.
The original source tapes were recorded on a Teac cassette recorder
using Dolby B encoding and a dbx compressor. Playback on a Sony cassette
deck through the same dbx for expansion, then to the PC at 16 bit/44.1khz.
Volume normalization with Adobe Audition, Track spilts and FLAC conversion
using CD-WAVE.
Because of the cassette source, you will hear the occasional tape flip,
which is not intrusive except missing the first couple of seconds of “Not
Fade Away”.
NO EQUALIZATION or PROCESSING OF ANY KIND was used on these tapes, other than
raising the levels to maximum before clipping.
Please DO NOT attempt to re-master this tape in any way – the idea is
to present the show as originally recorded, without adjustment.
