First Time in St. Petersburg: Bay Front Centre July 29, 1978 (JEA tree service)

~ Release by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

Bay Front Centre St.Petersburg, FL 7/29/78 except a portion of Racing In The Street 8/22/78.
Remastered by Fanatic Records. Many improvements have been made. Index problems were corrected.
Fades at the beginning and end of discs were applied. Gaps were removed.
Paradise By The C was appropriately moved from the end of disc 1 to the beginning of disc 2, starting the second set of the show.
A better source was used to complete RACING IN THE STREET. The excisting version was roughly pleced together.
To top it off a graphic equalizer and noise reduction was utilized in the process.
This is by no means a digital masterpiece, but the sound is brighter, crispier and more enjoyable!

Ponyboy Addition:
She’s the one contains the intor to Backstreets on disc 2. Seems Growin’ Up is completely missing from this set.
