Notes  (not mine) about this recording:

78-Aug-22:	Sound fades in spots

81-Aug-20:	
This a second version of the recent posting "Written On The Wall" as 
remastered by Skorpio Records (2002) and released on silvers from which 
this version is taken. My friend also posting this show correctly points 
out that this particular set lacks some bonus SBD tracks from the show. 
I personally think the difference in sound is decisive -- he feels it is 
identical.

For those unfamilar with this show, it is one of the most intense concerts 
Bruce ever did, certainly up there with the 1978 radio "breakout" shows. 
"Who'll Stop the Rain" and "The River" are notable standouts. Bruce actually 
fell badly at one point during "The River" and lost the microphone for a 
minute so the sudden dropout on vocals is just one of those stage glitches 
not a recording problem.

Without a doubt, the best early 80s E Street Band show.
