PLEASE NOTE THAT TRADING IS SUSPENDED FOR THE MEANTIME
Intro
First of all, I do NOT sell bootlegs, and I don't believe in making any kind of
financial profit form them. Only Bruce Springsteen, the creator of this music, has the right to.
But on the other hand, I believe that Bruce Springsteen fans, who have already purchased all
official Springsteen albums, are entitled to have hands on his unreleased music and
"trade" it freely.
I have good quality cleaned-up artworks for some of my bootlegs. You can find them at my
artwork page.

FLY AGAINST THE WIND / HEY JOE / IT’S TOO LATE / THE EARTH IS BROKEN / CARNIVAL SONG / TROUBADOUR
/ WAYFARING STRANGER / INSIDE THE CASTLE WALLS / IF I NEEDED SOMEONE
The above-mentioned 9-song setlist emanates from an alleged 83-minute audience recording
of Springsteen performing solo and live, sometime in 1968. The audio is not specifically linked
to this show – details have been placed here merely as a logical reference point. A private
collector claims to have this audio in their collection (obtained many, many years ago). The
sound quality is alleged to be quite good. Brucebase was informed of the audio several years ago
and was provided with basic details of titles/running time by the actual collector who claims to
have it. However Brucebase has been unable to listen to even snippets of the audio and, as such,
we cannot verify that the claim is genuine. Intriguingly however, one of the song titles
provided, “Inside The Castle Walls” has subsequently turned out to be a verified Springsteen
composition from this era (see 00/05/68 listing in Brucebase). The existence of this composition
only became known in 2005, which lends some credence (but not compelling proof) to the claim the
audio is real. Some of the titles from the setlist are covers – “If I Needed Someone” is a
Beatles tune, “Hey Joe” was covered by several artists in the mid-late 60's (most famously by
Jimi Hendrix) and “Wayfaring Stranger” is a traditional song. “Fly Against The Wind” and “It’s
Too Late” are titles we have been unable to match to any artists of the period. The remaining
three, “The Earth Is Broken”, “Carnival Song” and “Troubadour”, are known 1967-68 songs titles
by singer/songwriter Tim Buckley – a favorite of Springsteen’s at the time.

- PACIFIC RECORDING STUDIO, SAN MATEO, CA
GUILTY / GOIN' BACK TO GEORGIA / THE TRAIN SONG
STEEL MILL rehearsals at site and then formal recording of 3 Springsteen compositions –
and Bruce's first time in a recording studio since a session with The Castiles in 1966. After
brief in-situ warm-up rehearsals, which weren't recorded, the band recorded each song in one
take. There were the only three songs rehearsed and the only three songs recorded.

GUILTY / JEANNIE I WANT TO THANK YOU / YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME / CALIFORNIA BLUES / I AM THE DOCTOR /
GOIN' BACK TO GEORGIA / AMERICA UNDER FIRE / THE WAR IS OVER / ON THE ROAD / SWEET MELINDA /
CROWN LIQUOR / LADY WALKIN' DOWN BY THE RIVER
The above-mentioned 12-song setlist is culled from a 90min+ audience tape of the show that
is in extremely limited circulation.
- 23/05/70
(as listed by Brucebase)
- VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND, VA
MC Introduction – KT 88 (4.13) / JEANNIE I WANT TO THANK YOU (9:07) / I AM THE DOCTOR (7:31) /
SOMETHING'S GOTTA BREAK (8:00) / TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER (6:49) / SWEET MELINDA (5:47) / COME ON
(4:30) / RESURRECTION (11:10) / AMPLIFIER BLUES (9:29) / FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH – RUN SHAKER LIFE –
TWENTY MORE MILES (12:59, end cut)
The above-noted setlist is culled from a circulating 80-minute audience recording of only
fair quality. There are continuity cuts between most songs. This is not the complete show, which
contained at least 20 minutes more music (2-4 songs). This audio has never appeared on any
mainstream bootleg but does circulate via various custom sources – some with between-song chatter
deleted or songs missing. This audio is sometimes attributed to an alleged gig at VCU Gym on May
16, 1970. However VCU’s archives don’t indicate any show on the 16th. Comments made by
Springsteen during the show point to the audio as being from the documented May 23, 1970 VCU
gig.
- 14/08/70 (as listed by Brucebase) - 7TH AND MARSHALL
STREET PARKING DECK, RICHMOND, VA
MC Introduction - DANCING IN THE STREETS (8.20) / COME ON (4.30) / KT88 (3.50) / THE WAR IS OVER (14.28) / WHY DO YOU DO THAT
(6.14) / SHERLOCK GOES HOLMES (9.46) / GOING BACK TO GEORGIA (5.18) / RESURRECTION (13.52) / GUILTY (7.58) / WE'LL ALL MAN THE
GUNS (11:26) / RUN SHAKER LIFE - TWENTY MORE MILES (14.43) / GOOD LOVIN' WOMAN (9:34)
The above-mentioned 12-song setlist is culled from audio from this show that circulates in several variations. An audience
tape of only fair quality has been in circulation for many years. Fortunately a substantially better (very good) quality and more
complete specimen of this audience recording has emerged in the collector market over the past couple of years - and it is
absolutely worth obtaining. In addition to the new audience source, some soundboard audio has also recently emerged from this
show. The soundboard audio is missing two tracks ("The War Is Over" and "Guilty") found on the audience
recording and the soundboard quality isn't nearly as good as the better of the two audience sources. Importantly though, the
soundboard audio includes the show's encore "Good Lovin' Woman", which is not found on the audience audio. None of the
above-mentioned audio has ever been released on any mainstream bootleg.
- 11/12/71 (as listed by Brucebase) - STUDENT PRINCE, ASBURY PARK, NJ
COMING HOME (9:12)/ WALKING THE DOG (9:00)/ ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW (7:32)
ONE show 9:30PM to 1AM, with the Bruce Springsteen Band the sole act on the bill. A typical BSB gig at this club consisted of
four 40-minute sets separated by healthy intermissions (2½ hrs total playing time). The above-mentioned partial setlist is from an
audience recording that probably dates from this December period and probably comes from this venue. Precise details cannot be
determined.
- 01/02/74 (as listed by Brucebase) - ALLEN THEATRE, CLEVELAND, OH
SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT / DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND ST / WALKING THE DOG / ZERO AND BLIND TERRY /
BLINDED BY THE LIGHT / KITTY'S BACK / THUNDERCRACK / ROSALITA - SHOTGUN
The above-mentioned 8-song setlist is from a circulating audience recording of fair-good quality and represents
Springsteen complete 65-minute performance as the evening's undercard. An announcer can be heard announcing Wishbone Ash
by name, positively linking the audio to this show. Available on the CDR "CLEVELAND 74"
- 02/06/74 (as listed by Brucebase) - THE TOLEDO AGORA,
TOLEDO, OH
Bruce tuning and chat / A NIGHT LIKE THIS / DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND ST / IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY / SPIRIT IN THE
NIGHT (cut) / FOR YOU / LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW - I'M READY (start cut)
The above-mentioned partial setlist is taken from an audience recording of very weak quality that has been in limited
circulation for many years. The material has yet to appear on any mainstream bootleg. The audio likely represents only about
30% of the evening's total performance. All but a few opening seconds of "Spirit" is cut, as well as the opening minute or
so of the evening finale, "Let The Four Winds Blow". Although this tape often circulates as undated, there are in fact several
vital clues that almost certainly pinpoint the tape to this date and venue. Firstly, Bruce specifically mentions the name "The E
Street Band" (which places the show no earlier than April 1974). Secondly, Bruce asks the audience how many of them have
travelled from Detroit for this show (most respond yes - Toledo is only 70km from Detroit). Thirdly, this arrangement of "Let The
Four Winds Blow - I'm Ready" was unique to the mid-1974 period and very similar to the following night's rendition in
Cleveland.
