A short live excerpt from this show (Bruce's band introduction during "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)") was officially - and exclusively - released on a promotion-only 7" flexidisc issued to subscribers of Austrian pop magazine "Rennbahn Express" in June 1981.
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: 3:04:44
Note: Also part of the 'Darkness on The Edge Of Town Tour 1978 8-Show CD Box Set', available on February 1, 2021 via Nugs.
'That TV Report' by New York's "Channel 4 News," which includes partial, pro-shot colour footage of three songs from this show ("Badlands," "Spirit In The Night" and "Born To Run") and a short backstage interview.
Radio broadcast, soundboard tapes (all three nights in Passaic were recorded by the Record Plant's mobile unit, both on multi-track and live-to-two track) and professionally shot in-house black and white video. Probably one of the best all-time concert recordings.
Also, video footage is available. Released on CDs 'Piece De Resistance' (Great Dane), 'Southside Bruce And The E Street Jukes' (Seagull), 'USA 1978' (Arriba), 'Passaic Night' (Crystal Cat) and 'Passaic Night' (Scorpio). Also available on CDR 'The Way It Was - September 19th' (None); a direct transfer of the radio broadcast and includes all the station breaks, chat and interviews as they were heard on WNEW. Released to in 2014 on CD 'Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ, September 19th, 1978' (Klondike) and in February 2015 on CD 'Passaic Night' (Leftfield Media). Neither of these are official releases or sonic upgrades over other versions. All of the concert now circulate on an average-to-poor quality DVD, although a recently enhanced two-DVD version has been released, which is worth getting. Unfortunately, the last hour of the DVD only circulates with a VCR generated "timecode" on-screen display, which obstructs and distracts. Footage without the timecode does, however, circulate amongst private collectors and via Wolfgang's Vault. 'That TV Report' is circulating on fan-made DVDs.
