Strong Candidate 4 30th Anniversary of The River

Hazydavo (dmnsg)Hazydavo (dmnsg)Tougher Than The Rest
Was casually browsing around in Brucebase (as you do...) and read this.
This film has gotta be a strong candidate to accompany the inevitable 30 Year Anniversary Edition of The River in a couple of years...
It includes quite a few of my all-time favs from that album...
Stolen Car, Drive All Night, Wreck on the Highway, Point Blank, Independence Day, Jackson Cage, The Ties That Bind...
Sight-unseen, this is the one we'd want, wouldn't we?


05/11/80 - ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY, TEMPE, ARIZONA

BORN TO RUN (4.40) / PROVE IT ALL NIGHT (5.52) / 10TH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT (4.37) / DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN (4.19) / INDEPENDENCE DAY (7.06) / FACTORY (3.12) / JACKSON CAGE (3.27) / TWO HEARTS (2.37) / THE PROMISED LAND (5.43) / OUT IN THE STREET (4.44) / RACING IN THE STREET (8.54) / THE RIVER (6.20) / BADLANDS (5.08) / THUNDER ROAD (5.43) / NO MONEY DOWN (3.10) / CADILLAC RANCH (4.58) / HUNGRY HEART (4.31) / FIRE (5.04) / CANDY?S ROOM (3.11) / SHERRY DARLIN' (4.36) / HERE SHE COMES (4.35) / I WANNA MARRY YOU (4.29) / THE TIES THAT BIND (3.29) / STOLEN CAR (4.38) / WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY (4.51) / POINT BLANK (7.50) / CRUSH ON YOU (5.01) / RAMROD (4.18) / YOU CAN LOOK (3.51) / DRIVE ALL NIGHT (11.27) / BACKSTREETS (7.58) / ROSALITA (12.46) / I'M A ROCKER (3.27) / JUNGLELAND (9.34) / DETROIT MEDLEY (11.00)

One of the finest, most intense shows of the River Tour, perhaps related to the fact that Ronald Reagan had been elected President the day before ? which Bruce notes with displeasure during the show. Soundboard - released on CD's ?Heart and Soul? (E ST Records) and ?Live In Tempe? (Palace). The audio recording of ?Badlands? from this show (minus spoken intro) was officially released on the ?LIVE 1975-85? box set.

This entire show was professionally filmed in its entirety by Producer/Director Howard Lamden (who also served as Executive editor). Lamden had previously filmed Pink Floyd and was the Director of Jackson Browne?s early 80?s ?Downtown? documentary. Unfortunately the film of this show remains in Springsteen?s vault and is not circulating among collectors. It is likely that the very brief snippets of River Tour pro-shot performance footage seen in the promotional ?10 Years Burning Down The Road? advertisement for the ?LIVE 1975-85? box set emanates from the Howard Lamden film of this concert ? although that is not 100% certain at this point. Many highlights in this show, including perhaps the definitive performance of ?Drive All Night?. Brucebase also believes that some of the concert was filmed from the audience.

When I first speculated on the possible content of the Darkness 30th anniversary package last year here, there were two possibilities that I overlooked. Just because the BTR 30th was a lesson in how to wow fans with an ultimate reissue, does not mean we get a film again. The good folks at sony might just look at the balance sheet and say forget doing that again. We might get crap, we might get nothing. That goes for Darkness and the River. I just wonder if there is any way of suggesting our strong interest to sony, even if necessary at an elevated price, if return was poor on the BTR 3 disc. My vote for both would be drop the documentary, give us 2 whole filmed shows. That would be cheaper and more satisfying for us.

The question is no longer _if_ the Darkness box set comes out, but _when_.

as per backstreets.com celebrating the new year:

More hard-to-believe anniversaries this year: the Tunnel of Love Express Tour's 20th, Tracks' tenth... and then, of course, the big one, the 30th anniversary of Darkness on the Edge of Town. After the way we celebrated Born to Run's 30th in style with a multimedia box set, hopes are high for a similar Darkness release likely coming this year, still under wraps but currently in the works. We'll keep you posted.

I would go for the same package as for Born to run.
I found the Wings for wheels documentary to be really great.
A whole bunch of jaw-dropping footage from inside the studio, great interviews, and great live videos too.

I’m a first friday live shows-aholic and i'm proud of it

That version alone would justify a DVD release of this show.
Unbe-fucking-lievable!!


Ditto!
One of my all time faves - and Clarence, wow! It's right up there as one my favorite Clarence solos too...The studio version's bloody good too.

I don't believe they will be waiting for 30 years after the releases. The first concert-feature we had was LINYC. The tour before was TGOTJ. I don't believe they wait for the year 2025.

I think / hope that there will be a sort of box-set with several concerts. Like DVD1 (A full River show PROSHOT) DVD2 (The compilation of the last 4 night in LA (BUSA) Maybe 2nd october or 27th september w/ Janey) DVD 3 (LA-27+28 April 1988) DVD 4 (NJ August 06 1992)

The Stones released earlier the Four Flicks DVD set and after that The Bigger Bang DVDset.

Springsteen will not be a person that will bring us 4 DVDS out of the same era. If it comes to a 4DVD (or more) release different eras will be released.

Anyone other thoughts??

That's not impossible!!

If you can 130 minutes on one DVD. (Hammersmith)
Delete the Soundtrack 24bits LPCM (approx. 2GB)
Fill those bytes with another hour of film.
And you got 195-210 mins with only DD. 5.1 digital audio.
DVD9 can make that fixed. And changes of Layers can be done between first mainset and the second mainset.
Then you got something like 90mins. layer one / 120 mins layer two. for example

So it IS possible but if it will happen????

We all don't know!!! - or do we?? -
