NOTES

Bruce Springsteen Band
“2nd Annual Nothing’s Festival”
Brookdale Community College
Lincroft, NJ
July 10, 1971

Transferred and upped by MJK5510 (October 2012)

Transfer: Early 1980’s tape trade > Nakamichi CR-5A (Azimuth Adjusted) > MacBook Pro > Audacity > Peak Pro XT (Volume Smoothing/Edit/Indexing/Slight EQ) > xACT > FLAC

Contrast clause: This is different than the one posted here, http://jungleland.dnsalias.com/torrents-details.php?id=35315, in that this is transferred from my tape copy and is complete.

I’ve been slowly going through my 1000+ Bruce tapes, comparing to what is circulating and upgrading when possible. The transfer of this show comes from my tape copy and contains the 2 songs missing from the commonly circulating silver disc “Down The Road Apiece”. The 2 songs here that are not on that version are “Natural Magic (unfortunately cut) and “Jambalaya (Roll Over)”.

This show is the first known performance of The Bruce Springsteen Band (as a 9 piece band) and was billed as “Bruce Springsteen’s Band” on the flyer.

Outdoor performance, quality is very good throughout for the era … sample in comments.

Total: 68:09

Known issues:
-Natural Magic: cut after about 2 minutes
-Jambalaya (Roll Over): 30 seconds of speed fluctuation about 1 minute in.

Enjoy

This Was The Second & last Dr Zoom & The Sonic Boom Show the cover of the cd
Says It Was recorded the night before at the sunshine inn , Asbury Park but this is incorrect
This is the correct date & venue
This Is What Brucebase Says:
15/05/71 – NEWARK STATE COLLEGE, UNION, NJ.
IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH, IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY (6.50)/ SOUTHSIDE SHUFFLE (8.49)/ LOOK TOWARDS THE LAND (5.54)/ GOING BACK TO GEORGIA (8.07)/ LAST NIGHT IN TEXAS (8.43)/ WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW (11.23)/ JAMBALAYA (8.23)/ ZOOM THEME (2.29)/ LADY OF BOSTON (12.35)
The 2nd (and final) performance of the DR ZOOM & THE SONIC BOOM from the 1st annual “Ernie The Chicken Festival” – an excuse for an all-day, outdoor party extravaganza featuring several local bands including SUNNY JIM and ODIN. A very good quality soundboard tape of most (possibly all) of the Dr Zoom set has been in circulation since the early 1990’s and can be found on the CD boot “The Bruce Springsteen Story, Vol 5 – Dr Zoom & The Sonic Boom” (E.ST). The liner notes of the bootleg incorrectly lists the audio as emanating from the previous night’s performance at The Sunshine In – however this audio is definitely from the outdoor (not indoor) Dr Zoom show. MC Kevin Connair can be heard jokingly warning the campus Ambulances (who were parked nearby) to get ready as Bruce opens the show with some screeching guitar.

SUMMERTIME IN NYC – SPRINGSTEEN 23.07.1971

Bel bootleg d’annata che testimonia il concerto di Springsteen al Damrosh Park di New York del 23 luglio 1971.

Ecco i dettagli:

C. C Rider 10:43
You Mean So Much To Me 6:31
C’mon Billy, Break Up The Wine ( Nothing Can Stop Me Now ) 7:04
I,m In Love Again 5:29
Dance Dance Dance 8:06
You Don’t Leave Me Much Choice 8:56
Jambalaya 13:02

Total Time 59:54

23/07/71 – DAMROSCH PARK, LINCOLN CENTER, NEW YORK
CC RIDER – DOWN THE ROAD APIECE (10:00) / YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME (5:07) / NOTHING CAN STOP ME (5:15) / I’M IN LOVE AGAIN (4:11) / DANCE DANCE DANCE (5:52) / YOU DON’T LEAVE ME NO CHOICE (8:55) / JAMBALAYA (12:47)
ONE show, with THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND (along with a several other un-signed groups) performing as part of the Guggenheim Memorial Concert Series that took place daily in Damrosch Park during the summer of 1971. According to the New York Times the headliner and scheduled 8PM show closer on the 23rd was THE RICHARD GOLDMAN BAND, a classical orchestra noted for its creative use of wind and brass instruments. Bruce and his team were one of several unnamed-in-print undercard acts, each of who were allocated hour-long performing slots. At one point Bruce can be heard off mike asking “how much more time do we have?” The response back is “15 minutes” and Bruce times the end of his show impeccably. The fact that Bruce’s mid-1971 lineup included horns may have been the reason Tinker got this particular booking. The trumpet and sax are highly prevalent throughout and the arrangements (likely created by Van Zandt) are outstanding.
The above-mentioned setlist is taken from a soundboard recording that is available on the CD “THE BRUCE SPINGSTEEN STORY, VOLUME 6” (E Street Records). The bootleg cover implies some Columbia Records/CBS affiliation with the recording – but this is just fantasy artwork. This 60-minute recording has continuity between songs and is almost certainly the complete BSB show from this afternoon gig. Although this was an outdoor event, Bruce and the band were performing within the Guggenheim Band Shell. The superb acoustics of that shell, combined with an un-degradated source tape, have resulted in a truly exceptional concert document. Add to this a tight, highly disciplined and inspired performance by the entire band and it’s easy to see why most rate this Damrosch gig as the finest pre-CBS Springsteen concert currently in existence. This texture of this performance is more in keeping with the funkiness of Bruce’s 1974 Wild & Innocent Tour dates and early Asbury Jukes shows. It is essential audio in any Springsteen collection.
The 9-member Bruce Springsteen Band at Damrosch Park is the same as the 10-member contingent that performed at The Sunshine In ten days earlier (see 11/07/71 listing) with the exception that Tinker West is not playing congas – it seems Tinker was busy working the soundboard. This show includes some of Bruce’s finest early-period songwriting efforts. There are definitive live performances of “Jambalaya” and “You Mean So Much Tom Me” plus two songs (“I’m In Love Again” and “You Don’t Leave Me No Choice”) that are not available from any other show source. Delores Holmes delivers the sexy Ronnie Spector-ish lead vocal on these two songs. A Springsteen lead vocal of these two songs has yet to surface. Bruce’s searing guitar work during “You Don’t Leave Me No Choice” is among his all time best
