Stated as being recorded live in Los Angeles May 26, 1973, but see other
links below

Notes:
There were acetates made of a 3 record set of It's Too Late To Stop Now.
When the choice was made to make it a 2 record set, the above tracks were
left off. (The last four tracks on this boot are taken from Montreaux 1974).

This boot is not to be confused with another 2CD bootleg with the same name.

Review by Eric Gerber:
The sound quality of this boot is impeccable. I don't have the other boots
that are this same show [Ed: often referred to as the It's Too Late To Stop
Now acetates - see It Ain't Why, It Just Is and Its Never Too Late], but the sound and the quality of performance are first rate. There are no liner
notes to speak of, just a color picture on the cover. It does not list the
musicians, but I'm sure the info is available on the other boots of the same show. There is a misprint on the spine of the case, which I guess makes this one a rarity - it says, "Bruce Springsteen - Wild Night".

CommentDate of 5/26 may not be historically accurate.
Packaging claims "Recorded live at the L.A. Troubadour, USA May 26, 1973
Bonus Tracks live in USA 1974". But Van list member Scott Evans feels it is more likely that tracks 1 - 10 are from the It's Too Late To Stop Now acetates (with tracks 1, 8 and 9 having been released on the album), and that tracks 11 - 14 were recorded at Montreux in 1974.

Musicians:
Violins: Nathan Ruben, Tom Helpin
Cello: Terry Adams
Viola: Nancy Ellis
Piano: Jeff Labes
Trumpet: Bill Atwood
Saxaphone: Jack Schroer
Guitar: John Platania
Bass: David Hayes
Drums: David Shaw

Notes: Some, but not all of the L.A. material is available on It's Never Too Late (which is another repackaging of what is known as "The It's Too Late To Stop Now Acetates").
