Recorded just weeks after the release of his first album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., this historic opening set from Bruce Springsteen comes from a time when Bruce and the entire band could still (just barely) fit in one car. The E Street band, as Bruce's famous cast of backup musicians were called, came to encompass a particularly different and larger configuration, and the classic line-up from the mid-1970s only has two of the members from the backup band Springsteen plays with here.
