To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of ‘Prodigal Son At Winterland, San Francisco, CA’ by Bruce Springsteen on the 15th December 1978 -  This evening I decided to listen to the whole concert in full. Many argue this performance is his greatest ever, I’m still undecided, have a listen and see what you think!

Notes about the show: Broadcast on KSAN in San Francisco, CA. The stretch run of the Darkness tour featured several differences from early in the tour, most notably Bruce’s regular inclusion of "The Fever" and "Point Blank," as well as opening the second set with "The Ties That Bind." This show is another nomination for greatest show of all time, and another show with which you should start your collection. The performances of "Prove It All Night," "The Promised Land," and "Backstreets" are some of the best of all time. It was first released on CD by Great Dane Records as "Live in the Promised Land," and then Crystal Cat released their version called "Winterland Night," and the remasterer extraordinaire Prodigal Son released his version called "Prodigal Son at Winterland." It should also be noted that this show was another of the early vinyl bootlegs, also called "Live in the Promised Land," but the source tape was from the broadcast and does not include the last two songs. By this time, Bruce knows that radio broadcasts really help the bootleg industry, and he dedicates "Racing in the Street" to all the guys on Kingsley and Ocean Avenues (along the Jersey Shore) who will hear this show "through the magic of bootlegging." This was Bruce’s last radio broadcast until July 3, 1988.
