The Promise: Springsteen to open vault for Darkness box
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 9:00PM
Bruce Springsteen will release a Darkness on the Edge of Town retrospective on November 16, featuring 3 CDs and 3 DVDs. The set will include a remastered copy of the album, 2-CDs of outtakes from the Darkness sessions, a making-of documentary and - the piece de resistance - a full show DVD from Houston 1978.
For even the casual Springsteen fan, this is the holy grail. For those who may not know, the Darkness tour is stuff of legend - marathon shows, off-the-charts intensity and, don't forget, a smoldering 10 minute version of Prove It All Night like this (but in HD)...
I officially cannot wait for November 16. Check out brucespringsteen.net for a clip from the documentary and a fantastic outtake "Save My Love".

“The Light in Darkness is a spectacular addition to the Springsteen print library. The chronological presentation provides seamless narrative flow and the photos are just phenomenal. The limited edition book is the ultimate retrospective tour program. A rock and roll time capsule. Backstreets
