I’ve had the chance to hear the Springsteen release tonight & true to form it’s as good as the Broose fans have mentioned – I haven’t had a chance to compare & contrast but I’ll have another listen tomorrow. I can safely say though it’s a great choice by the Don.

Aha, thanks – I presumed the *other source* was an audience recording (I’m no Springsteen expert at all, but I do have that Rattlesnake release)

Well not quite. The Rattlesnake title is a properly mixed multi-tracks recording containing only two third of the show, whereas the CC release has the full show in soundboard.

Tes the Rattlesnake is a 2CD set, because only features the SBD portion of the show (great artworks and liner notes btw)

Also, regarding the Rattlesnake release-I believe that it doesn’t contain the full show since it’s on 2 discs whereas the CC release is the full show on 3 discs..just an FYI

Thanks tmoq! I’ll certainly pick this one up on my travels. I think the CC Nassau is the same as the RS but I still haven’t got the CC for comparison.

Don’t have the Nassau/Rattlesnake (though I do have the Nassau Crystal Cat which is a very good soundboard). The Atlanta show is a radio broadcast-the previous releases on Turtle and Doberman are both very good; can’t imagine Godfather messing this one up. Performance is top-notch as well, as most ’78 shows are.

Does anyone know how this Springsteen release might compare to, say, “Midnight In Nassau” on Rattlesnake for sound quality please?

Springsteen is definitely growing on me and especially earlier material from the 70′s. I’m also curious to hear this new Stones tape.

Nice to see this Springsteen show on silver, pressed discs. The latest release before the Godfather title was a 3cdr set on Doberman and the 3cd set from years ago on the awkwardly packaged “Here’s To Ya” on Turtle Records.

Yes I believe that’s correct. The Godfatherecords label is releasing the new alternate audience tape of the Oakland 2nd show as a single release.
