~ Release by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (see all versions of this release, 46 available)

Annotation

This version of Roxy Night 78 is a rare Test pressing, one of only five ever made. The original double album was made on red and white vinyl. This Test Pressing is black vinyl. Included are two extremely, unique cue sheets made only for the Test pressing.

This concert was broadcast the night of July 07, 1978 from KMET FM in Los Angeles, CA. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band were in fine form and in the middle of the legendary Darkness Tour. The show has a superb set list and is arguably one of the top ten shows of his career. This Test Pressing offers excellent sound and is a wonderful example of the show as it was broadcast on that famous night.
