R.E.M. – Gardening At Night
Recorded Live: 6/9/1984 – Capitol Theatre – Passaic, NJ

R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck explained to Q magazine in 1992: “There was an old guy in my neighbourhood who would be out gardening at 2am in his suit and tie. I’d see him when I was out trying to get a beer at the Magic Mart or somewhere. It’s basically a metaphor for the uselessness of everything.”

Van Morrison – Full Concert
Recorded Live: 6/10/1979 at the Capitol Theatre (Passaic, NJThe Capitol Theatre was an entertainment venue located at the intersection of Monroe Street and Central Avenue in Passaic, New Jersey. Built in 1926 as a vaudeville house, the Capitol later served as a movie theater (in its later years a XXX movie theatre) and (after John Scher bought the property) a venue for rock concerts.This concert from 1979, came from the period of albums like Wavelength, and Into The Music. We also get some of his hits from earlier albums.
His band, sounding great, is on fire this evening. Many of the band members have played with Van Morrison for several years, and it shows.

Highlights: Into The Mystic, Full Force Gale, Moondance and a great version of I’ve Been Working. Oh and I also have to mention when Wavelength seques into Tupelo Honey,

The venue was known for its in house video system which resulted in a number of good quality, black and white video bootlegs. After it closed, the building fell into disrepair and it was demolished in April 1991.

Bruce Springsteen has played over a thousand shows across the last four decades, nearly all of which will live forever in the hearts and memories of the fans who attended. However, there are a handful of shows that are so well-known and legendary that they are referred to simply by one name: Agora, Passaic, and Winterland. These shows have become part of a Springsteen fans vernacular and used as a point of reference when discussing just about every aspect of Bruces career. These abbreviations of course refer to the following concerts Bruce Springsteen and the E. Street Band performed in the wake of the Darkness album in 1978. Agora: The Agora Ballroom, Cleveland, OH, August 9, 1978; Passaic: Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ, September 19, 1978; Winterland: The Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, December 15, 1978.

In addition to all being from the same tour, they were also all broadcast live on the radio. And they were transmitted through the surrounding areas the Agora show was heard throughout the Mid West; Passiac was heard up and down the Northeast, and Winterland was broadcast in Northern California up through Seattle, Washington – indeed all areas that had supported Bruce in the first five years of his recording career, and through extended time between the Born to Run album and its 1978 follow-up, Darkness on the Edge of Town.

The show presented on this 3 CD set, as performed in Passaic, New Jersey, on September 19th 1978, is perhaps the best of the bunch. Played on the first night of a 3 date run at the Capitol Theatre, it was the night before Bruces birthday on the 20th, and the party mood had begun now available through Amazon.

Patti_Smith_in_Rosengrten_1978-1024x683

At two and a half hours of The Patti Smith Group right after the release of “Easter”. What a band and what a great time for the band and Patti Smith. They tear through the songs, the band is as tight as they get and the power is immense. I can understand Bob Dylan’s admiration of this force of nature.Patti Smith could not have been met with a more enthusiastic home-crowd, and it’s a really great performance. This is from the year I discovered this wonderful artist (from Rockpalast 1979) But it is here in New Jersey that Patti Smith is at home and the performance really feels like she is with a familiar bunch of people.
