Original CD -> EAC -> Flac 

When Bruce first performed in Holland in 1975 only a small number 
of musicians had heard of him. Six years later the picture had 
totally changed. Sleeping bags in front of the box-offices, the day 
before the tickets actually went on sale, were the first sign that 
the full-blown breakthrough of Bruce in Holland was a fact. 
To the astonishment of the on looking media, the two concerts sold 
out in a matter of a few hours. One journalist calculated that 
more people in Holland had purchased a ticket for the concert, than 
actually bought the River-album, which at that point was high on the 
Dutch album charts. Bruce's reputation as an amazing performer had 
apparently preceded him. 
Bruce didn't disappoint his Dutch fans. Both shows in Holland were 
great. The first night opened with an early version of 'Follow That 
Dream'. The first set of that show was very much a standard set. 
During the second set 'Stolen Car', 'Wreck On The Highway' and 
'Point Blank' were played in one evening during the European part 
of the River-tour. Two of these songs have been included as bonus- 
tracks. 
The show featured here in its entirety is the second night, which 
as my first live concert of Bruce Springsteen. Ticket price: 
27,50 Dutch Guilders (nowadays 12,50 Euro / less that 15 dollars). 
(You can't park your car for that money now). 
As usual Bruce hits his peak on the second night. An exceptional 
show with many highlights. After playing a more or less regular 
setlist on the first night, Bruce opened the show with the premiere 
of 'Run Though The Jungle'. The slow and frightening version of 
this Creedence Clearwater Revival song had people confused but 
intrigued. During the whole song the stage was almost completely 
dark with only two small spots on both sides of the stage, shining 
on Bruce. The somber song and Bruce's intense singing silenced the 
deafening noise that the crowd created when they notices that The 
Boss had taken the stage. That sound came back when Bruce ended 
'Run Though The Jungle' and loudly counted off in the dark. 
On the moment Bruce and the E Street Band plunged into 'Prove It 
All Night', all the podium lights came on in one big blinding flash. 
The crowd exploded and the concert had really begun. 
Bruce decided to change the order of songs a little bit. 'Factory' 
and 'Thunder Road' were moved to the middle of the first set. 
Because the changed position of 'Thunder Road', 'Badlands' became 
an unusual closer of the first set. 
The second set saw no major changes, but the encores included the 
European debut of 'I'm A Rocker', which was played between 'Devil 
With The Blue Dress Medley' and 'Rockin' All Over The World'. 
It's an amazing show, during an amazing tour of an amazing performer. 
Hope you'll enjoy it.
