If you’ve never commented before, this is the time to break the habit! 😉
I only used HD-sourced video material to preserve the best possible image quality. However, the quality varies notable, e.g. from iPhone-videos to high quality cams or steadily filmed to shakily filmed.
Due to lack of videos, there are video gaps in the following songs: Death to My Hometown, Spirit in the Night, Jack of all Trades, The Rising and We Are Alive. These gaps were filled with pictures from the concert.
The second audio stream (zimmy21) has some quality escapes. These are:
No Surrender (first minute missing) and My City of Ruins (distortion for 1 minute in the middle of the song). Where appropriate I mixed totem13’s recording in.
You can find the recordings here:

In case you wonder why I didn’t “fill” the complete DVD9, this is also due to my stupid software when it comes to authoring. The preview window always tells a wrong final size compared to what comes out at the end. For example the preview tells me that the project will be 7,8 GB of size but then it’s only 6,5 GB. When I set the bitrate higher so the preview says the final project will be 9,3 GB (so it becomes about 8 GB in the end), the layer break won’t work and thus there’ll be burning errors. As far as I know, the latest version of my editing software has this fixed, but spending 400 Euros to solve this is a bit too much for me right now.
That being said:
Thank you VERY MUCH to all the tapers who generously shared their original video files with me! And also to the audio tapers of course!
Special thanks for their EXTRAORDINARY contribution to the project:
dvddubbingguy, tobi and lars aka papa b‰r (lots of videos, quite perfectly filmed, amazing quality!), *anonymous* (almost complete recording from the stands), dasbinichauch (lots of videos from the stands, very stable), devil59620 (many videos), fv45pfap (many videos, quite perfectly filmed), joe (help with collecting videos) and betterday for a great communication and motivation.
After all, this was real fun to edit and leads you to just one possible conclusion: Nothing comes close to Bruce Springsteen.
In case you plan to also film a bit during one of your future concerts, I highly recommend to buy a Sony Cybershot hx9v or subsequent models, and film with an EV-setting of -0,7 to -1,3. The best angles of this multicam video were recorded with a hx9v and (I’m not sure which one) hx10s or hx20s with EV set at 0 to -1,3.
The EV-setting avoids “ghost” faces and the cam has got an Exmor R-sensor that avoids annoying “lines” in the video when you are recording against bright lights. Also, it has got a great zoom with steady shot function – and can record in full HD. The sound is also remarkably good for a pocket cam. Moreover, you can also take quite good pics with it.
The latest Lumix from Panasonic might also be a great alternative, though I don’t have any experiences with it.
It is the same footage from Prague I uploaded earlier today as a part of the “Wrecking Ball Tour 2012 – Prague and Vienna Snippets” DVD, but here are the original HD files (m2ts files, 1280×720 pixels rerolution). I hope some people will find it usefull, maybe someone might use it for a multi-cam project. I would be more than happy if it helps.
It is about 34 min. footage of snippets (no complete songs), filmed with Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 from very close – 4th-5th row, centre of the stage. The quality is very good IMO, but mainly for those who attended the show or compile a multi-cam project.

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.
Second concert of Wrecking Ball Tour in Gothenburg.
Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band played an incredible setlist with Lost In The Flood, It’s Hard to Be A Saint In The City, Backstreets and Jungleland (first time since 2009).
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & The E Street Band
July 28, 2012
GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN
ULLEVI STADIUM
Complete Audience Recording
Lineage: Pocketrak W24 digital recorder > Wav > CD Wav Editor > Magix > flac
Recorded by Mortenkofed
Mastered and edited by Rob
Complete recording! A very energetic crowd clapping along on most songs. The sound on Ties That Bind fluctuates as the recorder was still being adjusted.
In some spots you’ll hear seat noise, almost sounds like a door opening and shutting, but nothing too major. For the most part the sound is clean and this
is worth having.
This is the new version of a bootleg called Pretty Oswego. Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band played in the State University of New York during the Born to Run tour on December the 16th 1975.
Welcome back to the second in a planned series of releases from the ER
Archives, the collection of an active ’70s taper and trader who
stepped away from collecting, leaving his tapes pretty much dormant
until now. We’re still culling through the archive, but it is already
clear that it contains previously uncirculated shows as well as
upgrades to circulating tapes, both audience and soundboard. ER used
high-end tape decks and good tape, so his copies of even well-known
shows may well be improvements.
This installment falls squarely into the “upgrades” category as it
offers a material enhancement over the previously marginal recording
in circulation of Oswego, NY, December 16, 1975.
The extant version, which circulates as Pretty Oswego, suffers from
several problems including being pitched too fast, sounding muffled
from generational loss and having cuts. This new version has been
speed checked and corrected and is more complete. As a result it runs
longer than Pretty Oswego. The clarity of this transfer is far
superior to its predecessor as well–the recording has body, space and
instrument separation that just wasn’t there before and it sits
comfortably next to some of the better (though perhaps not best)
audies from 1975. Hence Prettier Oswego. Also, cuts previously found
in “Pretty Flamingo” and “Detroit Medley” are gone, though there is a
tiny piece missing near the end of an epic “Kitty’s Back.”
The pitch issues with this show proved deceptive as there are songs,
like “Saint in the City,” that are played at such a breakneck pace
they felt like they still must be running too fast after we pitch
corrected. But you’ll hear that even as the band seems to be in
overdrive, Bruce’s vocals sound right on key.
Oswego is a strong show, a few weeks removed from the band’s quick
trip to Europe and 13 days removed from the two-night run at the
Boston Music Hall JEMS presented earlier this year from Steve Hopkins’
master tapes. The quality here isn’t at Hopkins’ level, but it is
highly listenable both on quieter material like the piano-opening
“Thunder Road” and the solo encore “For You,” and rollicking passages
like “Kitty’s Back” and “Detroit Medley.” Samples provided.
Thanks to the ER Archive for opening up the vault doors and sharing
this recording with the fans. Feel free to let him know how you feel
in the comments.
When the ER Archive returns, we will shuffle off to Buffalo.
Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band played at the Hard Rock Calling Festival in London on July 14th 2012 during the first European leg of the Wrecking Ball Tour.
