Bruce Springsteen - 1975-09-12 - Austin, TX (SBD)

On August 13, 1975, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band began a five-night, 10-show stand at New York's Bottom Line. The engagement, broadcast live on WNEW-FM, attracted major media attention and convinced many skeptics that Springsteen was for real. Decades later, Rolling Stone magazine would name the stand as one of the 50 Moments That Changed Rock and Roll. As the Bottom Line run ended, the album Born To Run was released. The album reached number 3 on the Billboard charts, and while there were no hit singles, the title track, Thunder Road, Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out and Jungleland became staples of album oriented rock radio stations. Born to Run is now considered by many critics and fans to be among the best rock and roll albums of all time and Springsteen's finest work. Amidst all that publicity and attention, Bruce continued his small club tour, traveling to Texas in mid September for a series of 5 shows. This soundboard recording captures Bruce on September 12, 1975, 39 years ago today, in Austin. Download this one, then come back tomorrow for the 2nd half of this “Same Tour, Different Show” entry.
