But hearing the rarely played songs from Darkness is still quite a treat. Bruce still hits those howls during "Something In The Night" effortlessly all these years later, and on "Streets of Fire," the vocals take on almost a plea-like quality even while the E Street Band rocks it as hard as ever. Hearing "Factory," in its original album arrangement was also a pleasant surprise.

The Born To Run material comes across equally strong, especially the segue of "Born To Run" into "Shes The One." On "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," the E Street Band is expanded to include a full horn section, including usual Jersey suspects like trombonist La Bamba. And of course, there is nothing quite like hearing "Meeting Across The River" and "Jungleland" back to back as they were originally conceived.

The encores are also a lot of fun, as the by now over-the-top crowd is treated to the rarely played Darkness outtake "So Young And In Love," "Rosalita," and "Kitty's Back" complete with that expanded horn section. I just wish I could've been there.

If you are able to find this recording on the net, be advised that the audio is a little spotty in places, but generally not bad as far as audience-made recordings go. The crowd is also irritatingly loud at times, like when the girl screams out for "Streets Of Fire," after the song has already started.

Below are some video highlights, captured by someone on YouTube going only by the name of Madeline Maddog.

This video montage captures quite a few of the highlights, including the false start to "Badlands" and Nils' great solo on "Prove It All Night." The video also jumps around from song to song quite a bit — but nobody expects the whole show start to finish, right? The quality is likewise variable, with lots of places where the image is either obscured by crowd members, or a bit blurry. But it is also remarkably clear much of the time, and certainly captures the energy of the evening.

If you are unable to find this for yourself on the net, I also wouldn't worry too much. With the 30th anniversary edition of Darkness On The Edge Of Town coming up this fall, I have a very strong hunch that pro-shot footage may see the light of day on a DVD as part of that expected deluxe boxed set.

In the meantime, enjoy. And thank you Madeline Maddog, wherever you are.
