It has passed into legend despite the fact that some venues were not sold out and superstardom was a number of years away. Indeed, it was that graduation from the theater to the stadium that Springsteen initially resisted fearing that his intimate relationship with the audience would be lost. Yet with his reputation burgeoning his rise was irresistible. Greatly assisting this was the fact that several complete shows were broadcast live including one from the Roxy in Hollywood in July 1978, from the Agora Ballroom Cleveland in August and then in September we hit the mother load. Back on his home turf on September 19th, 1978 WNEW-FM broadcast his entire show with the E Street Band at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey. On the 30 September, the band hit the steamy South and play a great show at the Fox Theater Atlanta and then Santa Claus comes to town in the form of Bruce Springsteen and the E Band at the seminal Winterland concert on December 15th in San Fransisco deemed by some to be their greatest live outing.This good value box set includes 15 disks covering these five concerts. They have all been released before and the sound quality on some disks are better than others with the Agora Ballroom most pristine. The advantage is having all these concerts gathered in one place and the Passaic concert is complete and sounding better than the horrible Klondike release of recent years. It comes in a robust box with straightforward card sleeves on each CD and a covering booklet including reviews drawn from the time by Springsteen experts like Dave Marsh. The sound is taken from the original FM broadcasts and is fine, although others will need to verify whether the claim to digital remastering on the box is correct?The Roxy concert is by far the most intimate and the crowd noise is "up front". By the time the band reaches Winterland six months later the E Street Band is a finely tuned purring engine and Bruce Springsteen has become the Boss. In short Rock 'n' Roll's high priest preaching in his temple on the concert stage. Anyone who has witnessed it will know it is one of the greatest forces of nature in modern music. This is, of course, the "Darkness" tour and that brilliant album forms the core of these shows. The version of "Racing in the Street" on Passaic is in this reviewer's opinion the finest live version out there. In each concert, the extended "Prove it all night" stands out especially in Cleveland makes the version on the formal album sound second rate and songs like "Streets of Fire" have a more powerful lustre in front of an audience. All the "Born to Run" songs especially "Thunder Road" and "Jungle-land" are by now honed to live perfection. "Rosalita" and the "Detroit Medley" at Winterland are so powerful they knock you off balance and it's great to see "Because the Night" appearing and sounding awesome. It is interesting to note that Springsteen performs "Santa Claus is coming to town" as early as September in these gigs and treats it as an early Christmas present. If you have any sense you will also ensure that a friend or relative slips this is excellent boxset into your Xmas stocking. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The whole package was very good value and shows why Bruce is the Boss. Get It. *by S***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2022* I saw this advertised in Amazon and being a Bruce freak I bought a copy. I already possess the Winterland bootleg in vinyl and on CD. This was always the most highly rated bootleg of a live Springsteen concert from the 1970's and the copy I bought is the same, great quality and containing some great performances by Bruce.The other live concerts are also pretty good quality. Yes there are some repeats of Bruce's most loved songs but each performance does contain different stuff. Personally I thought the whole package was very good value and provided some of the reasons why Bruce is the Boss. Get It. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Passion, Soul, Theatrics, Sweat and near enough Blood - The Darkness Tour of '78 *by C***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2015* Ok so these gigs have been made available already but a bargain box for the whole lot - absolute essential!!If you want pristine modern soulless digital computer created recordings, then don't get this. However if you want to hear one of the great performers going all out when he still played small venues , then you'll love it. The recordings are not always brilliant but are sure good enough to enjoy and you can almost sense the perspiration oozing from the speakers. Bruce certainly gave the crowds what they wanted on these gigs which go on forever - on one, you (the listener) are returned to the studio as the announcer says he's heard from the venue that Bruce is exhausted and that the show was over. The recording then cuts to another announcement that he is coming back on stage after 15 mins of applause!The packaging is a clamshell box with all the CDs in slipcases with a 20 page booklet with notes/comments about the gigs and photos - all in all an amazing package for the price. If I were you I would get it whilst it's cheap (pre-order price was under fifteen pounds), as the other recent radio box of the 75 shows has trebled in price since release!!If you are a fan of The Boss, and want to hear him at what some consider his peak, then invest in this box, you will not be disappointed! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60703727-the-complete-1978-radio-broadcasts](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/60703727-the-complete-1978-radio-broadcasts) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
