Darkness on the Edge of Town

[martha]

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this album?


Not to mention the cover.

 

[MrBrau1]

Springsteen has been ruling my life lately.

 

[martha]

Not a bad way to live.

 

[Dorian Gray]

"Darkness" is brilliant... depressing as hell... but brilliant

 

[MrBrau1]

It's quite funny actually, I used to hate Bruce. My how things change. Jungleland is epic.

 

[Nesskelz]

DOTEOT is amazing. The last time he came to L.A. he opened with The Promised Land.

It's my favourite Springsteen album. The cover - sighs

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

You should check out a new book called Days Of Hope And Dreams, by the same photographer who took that shot. It's chock full of previously unpublished yummy photos

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

The cover is hot.

I haven't listened to Bruce since Christmas (I got both the essential cd and Live in Barcelona dvd). The dvd is awesome.

 

[Bono's shades]

I can't decide if Darkness or Born to Run is my favorite Springsteen album.

The cover of Darkness is OK, but if you want to talk about hotness, what about the cover of The Wild, The Innocent and the E-Street Shuffle? Those lips...

 

[Hewson]

Darkness is my favorite Bruce album (though I don't drool over the cover), especially Candy's Room and Adam Raised a Cain.

 

[Danospano]

Bruce will forever be cool.

"Darkness on the Edge of Town" is a great album, but you can't exclude any of his work (exception might be Luckytown) and do him justice.

 

[martha]

Well they're still racin' out at the Trestles...

 

[Nesskelz]

But that blood it never burned in her veins

 

[fah]

I can't find my copy of 'Darkness on the Edge of Town'. It's gone.

 

[Popmartijn]

Don't have the album (yet).
I do have some others though (Live 1975-85, LT, Plugged, GH, GOTJ, Tracks, LINYC, Rising).

Marty!!!!!!

 

[martha]

Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview

 

[Popmartijn]

Marty!!!!!!

I got a '69 Chevy with a 396

Still...

Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor


That's the one song I skip over on that record.

 

[sue4u2]

God I love Bruce. I saw him live in the late seventies. I've never forgotten being blinded by that light. But I don't have this.
*off to figure out how to budget this in*

 

[anitram]

Great album and great song. 80% of the time it's my favourite live Bruce track.

 

[Popmartijn]

Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor


That's the one song I skip over on that record.

I haven't heard the studio version yet (again, fill the next few lines with ). It was also one of my lesser favourite Bruce tracks (all the countless live versions I do have of it)...
until I saw him perform it in May (the Bruce concert the day before I got my university degree ). Then it clicked with me, especially the musical outtro. Now, it's not my favourite Bruce song (yet?), but I do appreciate it a whole lot more.

You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past

When Born to Run was released, I knew it was love.

When Darkness was released, I knew it was forever.
