Dead Links & Re-Posts

If you come across a dead link, please leave a comment under the post and we will do our best to repost it within 72 hours. Please be polite when you ask for a re-post - a little kindness goes a long way. Please limit your requests to 1 a week - lots of other folks are asking and I just can't get to them all if you overload me with requests. And please don't ask me to re-post every show by a particular artist. As said, I can handle requests for a show a week, but if you are asking me to re-post dozens of dead links, I simply won't be able to handle that. Thanks for understanding.

Bruce Springsteen - 1973-01-09 - Boston, MA (FM)

Fifty years ago this very day, on January 1, 1973, Bruce Springsteen did his first live radio show, on WBCN-FM in Boston. Springsteen was in town for a week of performances at Pall's Mall, 2 shows a night, from January 8 to 14. The concerts and the appearance on WBCN, were in support of his debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, released 4 days earlier on January 5. That disc, though not a commercial success, received significant critical praise form the likes of Lester Bangs and Robert Christgau. Rolling stone would rank it 337 on its 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, as well as 37th o n its list of the best debut albums.
