(early) Bruce Springsteen Rules.

Why?

Exhibit A)



"Thundercrack" live 1973

Exhibit B)

The Milwaukee Bomb Scare Show

This show is great. Apparently my dad wanted to go to this show as a kid and my grandparents wouldn't let him. Turns out 45 minutes into the set someone phoned in a bomb scare to the theater. Everyone had to evacuate and was told to come back at midnight. Bruce and the band spent the 2 hours between shows in their hotel bar and came back pretty "loose." The band went on to play an amazingly energetic set. The bootleg is only the songs performed after the bomb scare, but is soundboard quality. CHECK IT OUT!
