The bootleg, “1978 Winterland Night” is from an FM broadcast of Springsteen’s Winterland Ballroom concert on December 15, 1978. The Last Waltz concert at Winterland took place more than two years earlier on November 25, 1976. (The documentary film of the Last Waltz concert was released on April 26, 1978.)
Meh, memories. Lot of dead brain cells between then and now. I was at the Springsteen show. Maybe they were posters memorializing the past (or the movie release) and I’ve told the story wrong all these years. My stories wouldn’t be as good if I was always held to the truth. I was at Keesler AFB in Mississippi November 25, 1976.

Bruce’s December 15, 1978 show at Winterland is widely considered one of five or so concerts that could be his best. Many people think it is the best. You were really lucky to be there. I acquired the show in a 15-CD bootleg box set known as “The Complete 1978 Radio Broadcasts,” which looks like this:

Thanks. We knew it was a great show. My best (or worst memory) was trying to kiss Pam Adams on the way back from the show and getting rejected. I was successful later…
Don’t think I want to re-live the memory to the tune of a 15 CD set. I do know there’s a Springsteen web site that offers live recording downloads. Maybe it’s there.

The Winterland show is not yet officially released as a download. If you do not want the 15-CD box set, you can find “1978 Winterland Night” separately as a three-CD set on eBay for around $20.

It’s such a shame Zig-Zag Territoires bit the dust a couple of years ago. They always put out a very high quality product. Fascinating repertoire; superb musicians; superior recording engineering.
This, too, would be on my 20 desert island discs:

Tony Rice is one of those players who reminds thinking guitar players that they don’t know as much as they thought they did.

yes man. he’s one of my favorite players. was lucky enough to see him back in 1993.
there’s a young fella named Josh Williams who plays similarly - maybe even more precise.
Got to see Josh again this summer with Rhonda Vincent. During that show, Joah played an amazing over of Gordon Lightfoot’s “Shadows”. It was damn good.

Not out on CD quite yet, but on Spotsy and other streamers. Misha Tsiganov leading on piano. Sounds good as Criss Cross music usually does.

A pleasant album, slightly marred for me by the use of a recorder to ‘break’ the consort. It is an instrument I find rather wearing after an hour.
If I could only take 20 albums to a desert island, I would have to bring a John Coltrane recording. And if I had to choose right now, this would be the one (which is kind of cheating, as it is a 4-CD set!).
