"DARKNESS SEES THE LIGHT": PLANS REVEALED FOR REISSUE BOX
In 2008, the 30th anniversary of Darkness on the Edge of Town came and went without a Born to Run-style anniversary box. Fans have been crying, waiting, and hoping since then... but the wait is almost over. In early June, the 32nd anniversary of the release of the original album, we'll see the release of Darkness on the Edge of Town: Special Anniversary Edition.

you got served.

 

[corianderstem]

Ohhhhhhhh, this is a happy thing.

.... it's not an April Fool's joke is it?

Fuck, I hate April 1.

 

[PhilsFan]

You've never heard an order for a roast beef sandwich until you've heard one from The Big Man.

 

[phanan]

Backstreets does a whole April Fool's edition every year...

That Darkness box is still coming, though. Just when is the question. The new rumor is June, the same month as the original date back in 1978.

 

[corianderstem]

I just saw the Backstreets thing, which I hadn't read before seeing Headache's copy and paste, which didn't seem so suspect.

Fuck.

I hate April 1.

 

[Ronnie269]

Boy oh boy, do I feel foolish!

Damn that sounded sooooo good ,
For the record I HATE April Fools aswell,

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

and a bonus disc in which band members give roadies orders for the deli around the corner from the Record Plant. You've never heard an order for a roast beef sandwich until you've heard one from The Big Man.

yea i never woulda gotten it, either...

i'm really looking forward to that bruce-lady gaga duet, though...

 

[bono_212]

Backstreets knows how to do April Fools.

Take notes, google.

 

[martha]

I may be blind from GaGa's outfit.

I didn't want to see that much of her private parts. EVER.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Have you guys heard the new Gaga/Bruce duet entitled Badlands Romance? It's hot.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

how do you annoy lady gaga?

Spoiler

poke her face

 

[corianderstem]

Ha!

I would have said "make her wear pants."

 

[IWasBored]

I may be blind from GaGa's outfit.

I didn't want to see that much of her private parts. EVER.

ya, no kidding.

It's not the Darkness box, which I'm getting more and more pissed with each delay, but cool nonetheless:

Columbia Records To Release Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's 'London Calling: Live In Hyde Park' Concert Film On June 22

Release Marks First Springsteen Outdoor Concert Film And First From A Festival Setting

On June 22, Columbia Records will release Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's 'London Calling: Live In Hyde Park' concert film on one Blu-Ray disc and as a two DVD set. Captured in London at the Hard Rock Calling Festival on June 28, 2009 in HD, the 163-minute film documents 26 tracks of live Springsteen that begin in daylight and progress through a gorgeous sunset into night.

'London Calling: Live In Hyde Park' conveys both the experience of being on-stage and the vast crowd experience of the festival environment. Viewers are able to see Springsteen spontaneously directing the E Street Band and shaping the show as it evolves.

The set list spans from 'Born To Run' era to 'Working On a Dream' and includes rare covers such as The Clash's "London Calling," Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," The Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'," and Eddie Floyd's "Raise Your Hand." Springsteen also performs fan favorite "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," written by Stephen Foster in 1854. Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem joins the band as a guest vocalist on Springsteen's own "No Surrender."

The concert earned rave reviews. The London Times called it "epic" and "a revved-up three-hour power drive through Springsteen’s America." The Independent concurred, "He awed the 50,000-strong crowd… Drenched in sweat by the second number, tossing his guitars to the roadies with the vigour of a frontman a third of his age and jogging down a walkway to meet his fans and take their requests, Springsteen's intensity was staggering from first powerful vocal to final thrashed-out chord."

GRAMMY and Emmy Award-winning producer and editor Thom Zimny and director Chris Hilson, both members of Springsteen's video team dating back over a decade, oversaw the film. Audio was mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

Bonus material includes stunning footage of "The River" from Glastonbury, June 27; and the full music video for "Wrecking Ball," filmed at New Jersey's Giants Stadium.

[corianderstem]

I'm thrilled to have another concert DVD, but yeah, what's up with the Darkness delays?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

perhaps landau got together with paulie mcg and decided that they shouldn't release the darkness set until right around the holidays

 

[phanan]

Which is ludicrous because this new DVD is cheaper and more appealing to a mainstream audience, whereas a Darkness box is geared towards hardcore fans who will gladly pay any price for it, regardless of the time of year.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

true enough... perhaps they just can't agree on what to include on it.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Well the DVD sounds good to me because it will be the first Bruce Blu Ray and since I actually have a player now..I will definitely get that.

 

[bono_212]

I can always go for a new ocncert DVD.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I can always go for a new ocncert DVD.

Me too.

But what would you think about a new concert DVD?

 

[bono_212]

Me too.

But what would you think about a new concert DVD?

Hush you!

 

[Ronnie269]

Sweet can't wait for this DVD!!! ,

 

[Ronnie269]

Anyone know why Rosalita is not on the DVD?? It was definitely recorded properly (greatly in fact), as their is a versionof it on Youtube, and it is IMO a particularly great version! YouTube - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) (PROSHOT)

 

[phanan]

 

[phanan]

As for the omission of Rosalita, I can only surmise that it's because Clarence's performance isn't quite up to par, but that's hardly a big deal. Very disappointed they are leaving it off. Why they would take off that one song and deprive fans of a complete show is beyond me.

 

[Ronnie269]

I never noticed that before alright, Clarence's playing during the first half is a tad weak, but as you said that is still not a reason to leave it off, the rest of the band are smoking!!! especially MAX! Another reason could be Bruce's vocals sound a little rough, then again he just blew Glastonbury away the night before, that's forgivable and he still sounds amazing, It might just be that epic pose he pulls at the end! The cover is the coolest thing I've seen in a good while!!!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

at least they didn't leave off the show opener...
