The Wind City Promise is the title of this bootleg recorded on February 23rd 1977 in Chicago.
Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band played 15 songs spliced in two CD.
Action In The Streets 18.03.1977
Probably this is not the best bootleg of the Born To Run Tour but the overall quality is quite good.
Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band played 14 songs.
This bootleg was originally an LP and it is a collection of various songs played by Bruce Springsteen and The E-Street Band between 1975 and 1980.
The bootleg has a very good average quality.
This is another very old bootleg from almost forty years ago.
The has been recorded during the Born To Run on September the 27th 1975 at Ambassador Theatre in Saint Louis.
The quality of the CD’s are quite good especially considering the technology available in late ’75.
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.

Nuova edizione, edita della Dasuye, di un bootleg storico. Il concerto è quello tenuto da Bruce Springsteen e la E-Street Band al Civic Center di Providence l’ 11 dicembre 1980.
La qualità, come potete sentire dalle tre canzoni che ho inserito, è molto buona specialmente considerando che si parla di un bootleg di più di 30 anni fa.
Il concerto è stato suddiviso su tre dischi:
Bootleg vecchissimo quello che ho recuperato oggi, il tour è infatti quello di Born to Run (secondo leg) e il concerto è quello del 22 agosto 1976 a Springfield.
Non riesco a trovare la copertina giusta per questo bootleg, la suddivisione delle tracce è infatti leggermente diversa.
Springsteen e la E-Street Band suonarono:
Il bootleg è di buona qualità ed è stato registrato dalla radio come si può sentire dalla prima traccia.
Al primo che indovina cosa sta suonando Roy durante la presentazione della band su Rosalita mando una copia del CD.
Commentate!

Il bootleg testimonia l’ ultimo concerto del 1975 per Bruce Springsteen e la E-Street Band la data è infatti quella del 31 dicembre 1975.
Di quella storica data esistono diversi bootleg fra cui alcuni di ottima qualità come ad esempio Last Tango in Philly (EV2) e il volume numero 33 della serie Uber uscita ormai diversi anni fa su Stone Pony London.
Il mio preferito è però questo realizzato da Ed Sciaky.
Come “assaggio” potete ascoltare Backestreets a questo link.
