“Like The Dark Knight Rises, so too must the Passaic trilogy come to an end.

JEMS is pleased to release another significant Darkness tour upgrade,
this the third and final show at the Capitol Theatre, two nights
removed from the historic radio broadcast that would go on to become
one of, if not the most bootlegged recordings in Springsteen history,
Piece De Resistance. In homage to that bootleg classic, and in keeping
with our upgraded second night title, Douceur de Vivre, we’ve dubbed
the third night Coup de Grace, apropos, as it translates to “the
finishing blow.” Of course there’s a case to be made for going with
Bon Anniversaire, as at this show Bruce’s birthday (still two days
hence) was celebrated with a giant cake featuring an unusual filling.

The set continues the looser vibe of the previous night and offers
some appealing changes, including the return of “Racing in the
Street,” covers of “High School Confidential” and “Sweet Little
Sixteen” (introduced, per Brucebase Wiki, as “a birthday song to
myself”) and a welcome performance of “The Fever.” The show is also
one of seven known performances of “Incident on 57th Street” straight
into “Rosalita.”

Like Douceur de Vivre, what makes Coup de Grace so special is that it
was professionally recorded on reel to reel by a mobile recording
truck outside the theatre. The result is another live-as-it-happened
recording of incredible clarity. Again, that isn’t to say it is a
multi-track, mixdown; Coup is a raw, mixed-on-the-fly, wide stereo
recording done on 1/2 track at 15 inches per second. Compared to the
cassette sources circulating of other raw board tapes from this tour,
the quality here should be a revelation. Samples provided.

The transfer was handled as JEMS did for last year’s upgrade of The
Ties That Bind and Douceur de Vivre so I’ll quote those notes once
more: “There was baking involved, as the tapes had degraded in the [33
years that had passed]. The reel-to-reel tape deck was best of breed,
what the pros use, in a proper studio, calibrated and adjusted in
every way for optimal playback and capture at 24/96 using the best
possible sound card, cabling, etc.”

There was one missing piece on the new reels, oddly right at the start
where somebody must have forgotten to push record and missed the
beginning of “High School Confidential.” WWe’ve patched that in from
the extant cassette board source (thank you A). On the bright side,
“Tenth Avenue Freeze-out” is now complete and we get to hear for the
first time ever the previously missing encore-closer, “Twist and
Shout.”

Your guest mastering engineer this time around is our respected
colleague and friend Hoserama, who you should know from his incredible
work (often described as better than official releases) on matrix
recordings from recent tours. He made these tapes sound as good as
they possibly could. Thanks H.

Please respect our wishes DO NOT post this on DIME.
Please respect our wishes and DO NOT REMASTER AND CIRCULATE any new or
remastered versions of this recording.

Hoserama Remaster Notes:
Overall very solid recording. Love the stereo panning, tried to bring a lot of that out. My biggest issue with the recording is low lead vocals at times. Tried some tricks to bring it out, but not something you can easily draw out. I did a mix-mash of processing, but tried to keep the natural sound of the recording. Hope you like it. Thanks to the JEMS crew for tapping me for this project!”

Release Notes:

“JEMS is proud to partner once again with Boston taper Steve Hopkins to
release some of the essential Springsteen recordings he made between
1974 and 1977. Steve recorded Springsteen a total of nine times and he
has previously tormented three of those shows from his masters. Late
last year, JEMS released in the first of Steve’s remaining Bruce
masters, Providence, July 20, 1975.

This first of two nights at the Boston Music Hall finds Bruce and the
band newly returned from their brief European tour that included the
now legendary shows at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. Bruce talks
about the trip in some detail during this outstanding show that is
packed with highlights. It opens with the slow “Thunder Road” that
features just Roy and Bruce, and cruises through 17 other songs
including “Lost in the Flood,” the first known recorded performance of
“Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” and an ultra rare cover of Claudine
Clark’s 1962 hit “Party Lights.” For Hopkins though, the personal
highlight was “the epic, 18-minute ‘Kitty’s Back’ both this night and
the following.” Hard to argue with that.

As it was the first show back in the states after three weeks away,
the crowd is a mix of Boston fans and others who drove up from NY/NJ.
As a result, there’s plenty of audience response and chatter (I
especially like the guy who sarcastically tells the folks in front of
him “congratulations for standing up”), but nothing that detracts from
Hopkins’ excellent and complete recording, save for a short tape flip
inside “The E Street Shuffle.” Samples provided.

We hope you enjoy this second release from the Hopkins masters.”

If you are here to find the Wrecking Ball torrent. Buy the album from Amazon! or from your local music store, when it comes available…

Any of these sites would have been closed down by the music industry, but they know that if these sites would be closed, bootlegs would go to Ebay etc. Internet killed the whole bootleg business. Pretty much every bootleg torrent site will remove shows by a request. I suggest everyone to support their fav artists by going to concerts and buy their official releases.

Remember: Never sell any of the shows you download! – See you on the Wrecking Ball 2012 Tour!

“Who will replace Clarence?” That’s the line that Google automatically suggest when you write “who will replace”. While waiting the official news, all we can do is speculate. One thing is sure, it’s gonna be strange to go on the Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band “Wrecking Ball Tour” and not to see Big Man.

About the new sax player(s). Here’s a quote from the recent Southside Johnny interview:

He’s stealing my saxophone players to replace Clarence (Clemons, who passed away last year), so we steal from each other’s bands occasionally.
