Hard to believe its been 30 years since this show took place. Quite an amazing show, definitely in the top ten of all time. Anyone here have this on bootleg vinyl when it first came out? I seem to remember several different versions but I think most were incomplete. Anybody here actually at the show?
07/07/78 - THE ROXY, LOS ANGELES, CA
INTRO / RAVE ON (2.49)/ BADLANDS (4.33)/ SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT (6.35)/ DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN (4.16)/ CANDYS ROOM (3.13)/ FOR YOU (5.04)/ POINT BLANK (6.31)/ THE PROMISED LAND (5.10)/ PROVE IT ALL NIGHT (8.47)/ RACING IN THE STREET (8.22)/ THUNDER ROAD (5.44)/ PARADISE BY THE C (3.20)/ FIRE (2.40)/ ADAM RAISED A CAIN (5.36)/ MONA - SHES THE ONE (13.27)/ GROWING UP (9.14)/ SAINT IN THE CITY (4.39)/ BACKSTREETS (12.41)/ HEARTBREAK HOTEL (2.15)/ ROSALITA (9.57)/ INDEPENDENCE DAY (5.12)/ BORN TO RUN (4.32)/ BECAUSE THE NIGHT (5.45)/ RAISE YOUR HAND (4.50)/ TWIST AND SHOUT (7.18)
FM broadcast - Premiere of Point Blank, Rave On and Independence Day is performed solo on piano for only time on the tour. Point Blank features different lyrics to later versions and is played slightly differently. Originally broadcast on KMET FM Radio. Point Blank and Thunder Road have been edited where the original broadcast had problems. Probably one of the best shows Bruce will ever do. Available on many unofficial LP's and on CD's "Roxy Night" (CC), "Hands Towards The Sky" (LOB) and most recently on "No Private Parties" (Ev2). This show was one of the main source concerts for the official “Live/1975-85” box set, which includes no less than eight recordings from this show (“Spirit In The Night”, “Paradise By The ‘C’, “Adam Raised A Cain”, “Growin’ Up” [with a few cuts in the middle-part “lawyer” story], “Saint In The City”, a heavily edited “Backstreets”, “Rosalita” and “Raise Your Hand”). Another performance recorded that night, “For You”, was later released as a B-side/bonus track on 7”/12” vinyl worldwide, and on CD in Japan only (“Live Collection” EP). In addition, a short live excerpt from this show (Bruce’s speech given after “Badlands” about a photo recently taken of him) was officially - and exclusively - released on a promotion-only 7” flexidisc issued to subscribers of Austrian pop magazine "Rennbahn Express" in June 1981.Thanks to Lost in the flood for the update.
And for a change of perspective - above center - outside the Roxy in 1978 - pictured are (in no particular order) Lou Cohan, Steve Pond and
