~ Release by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (see all versions of this release, 66 available)

Annotation

This LP is Incomplete. More than a few songs are missing, unlike the cover which shows a complete setlist. The sound is not as bright nor as upfront when compared to other boots we’ve listened and grown accustomed to on this date.

B3 Racing In The Street and D5 Point Blank are cut, C4 Santa Claus has the intro only, missing the song and F1/F2 Rosalita is cut in the middle.
C2 KSAN Radio, Tuscon, AZ 1978‐12‐13.

LP rear cover: “This three record set is a stereo, line recording of the historic December 14th show at Winterland in San Francisco, California. for Fan Club distribution only. Buy all of Bruce’s fine products on CBS Records and Tapes.”, “665 FIFTY AVENUE – MELBOURNE 10022”, “MADE IN CANADA”
Label states: “AVION”, “MADE IN BELGIUM”, “stereo compatible SACEM SDAM SACD SGDL”
