The official Wings For Wheels documentary DVD contains great black-and-white footage of the slow "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" (filmed by early Springsteen fan Barry Rebo), which has been attributed to one of the two Tower Theater shows by an experienced video collector.

Official concert recording available for purchase in multiple formats, including CD and high definition audio, from Springsteen's official live download site at nugs.net/bruce (previously live.brucespringsteen.net).

  • Running Time: 2:25:54

Note: In February 2015 this was the third in a series of archive shows to be officially released and made available for purchase at live.brucespringsteen.net. The recording was mixed from the multitrack reels in January 2015 by Toby Scott and mastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering.


Soundboard and audience tapes. The entire show (and potentially the entire Philadelphia stand) was professionally recorded (along with several other shows in December) under the guidance of Jimmy Iovine as part of a plan to release a live album. Previously, a single CD of mixdowns created in 1976 from a 16-track recording of the show circulated which features nine tracks of the eighteen-song set, released as 'The Uber Series Vol 33', remastered as 'Last Tango In Philly' (Ev2) and issued on CDRs 'Dance On Little Sister' (Anubis) and 'Philadelphia 1975' (Wet Dreams). The complete soundboard recording is available on CD 'Teardrops On The Tower'. An alternative soundboard tape also circulates which does not include "4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" and both "Detroit Medley" and "Thunder Road" are clipped at the start. "Born To Run" from this show was shown by Thom Zimny at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame discussion in June 2009; "Mountain Of Love" at "An Evening With Thom Zimny" at Monmouth University on September 23, 2014; and the "Detroit Medley" at the "Stories From The Road" TeachRock fundraiser at Asbury Lanes on August 22, 2024. This footage was in color with excellent audio.
