Darkness and Born to Run at the Count Basie Theater
When I first checked out the set list and Backstreets review of last night’s Boss show to benefit the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey, I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Then I had to check the calendar to make sure Backstreets wasn’t pulling another of their infamous April Fool’s jokes.
But it’s true. Last night, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played Darkness on the Edge of Town – in sequence, in its entirety. After a break, they played Born to Run – in sequence, in its entirety.
Holy bleeping bleep!! The search begins…

I NEED this.
Gotta go brew a triple-strength pot ‘o coffee. I have a feeling I’ve got a long weekend ahead of me.
(Unless, you find and post it first!)

Steve – the race is on!
I’m putting out my feelers on the interwebs…
Checking Jungleland and Dimeadozen. Let me know if you find it…

Okay folks, here we go…
Here’s the Darkness first set.
Here’s the Born to Run set.
It had to be absolutely amazing to be there. What slays me, though, is the amount of people chattering during the quieter moments. Some people – wherever they go – just can’t seem to shut the fuck up. Even if it’s one of the most historic nights in E Street history! Some people….
Enjoy!
