Title: The Early Uber Collection: Volumes 21, 22, 26 Label: Uber Project EV2 Format: 3 CD Set Dates and locations for each volume shown above the track listings. Sources for all shows: tattoodad's uber project @ http://www.spl-messages.net ==================================== Disc 1 ==================================== March 14, 1972 - Challenger Eastern Surfboards, Highlands, NJ, US The Uber Series Volume '26' (Tinker West's Professional Rehearsal Room): 01 Don't You Want To Be An Outlaw ('Jesse James', 'Billy') 7:38.72 02 It's All Over Now, Baby Blue 14:37.59 03 When You Dance 13:34.40 04 It's A Groove When You Move 1:56.46 05 Look Towards The Land 10:09.52 06 I've Got To Have You Baby 5:29.04 07 Studio Chatter 0:58.03 08 Funk Song 6:12.67 Total Disc Time: 60:37.43 Audio of a Bruce Springsteen Band rehearsal. The band line-up is Van Zandt-Sancious-Tallent-Lopez. In addition to the 55 minutes of music there are nearly 7 minutes of fascinating between-song banter, much of it between Springsteen and Tinker West, who Bruce jokingly refers to as "Stinky". Tinker appears to be testing some new recording equipment. The sound quality is uniformly excellent. It is evident from the discussions that the rehearsals had been going on for some time before the recording starts. It should be noted that this is not Challenger's more famous Wanamassa location that Bruce had lived in during the 1969-70 Steel Mill era. Tinker West had relocated the factory to Highlands, NJ in mid-1971 and had then constructed a more professional rehearsal room. The standout track here is "When You Dance". Although rough quality live renditions exist, this is a clear rendition, with astounding Springsteen-Van Zandt dual lead guitar interplay. Noteworthy as well is "Funk Song" (also known as "Funk Says Right On"). There are no live renditions of "Funk Song" from this period circulating, however Bruce surprisingly resurrected it during a few shows early on the Born To Run Tour (see gig listings for 23/07/75, 29/07/75 and 08/08/75). In addition to the Dylan song, there is also a cover of "I've Got To Have You Baby", an obscure 1956 R&B single by Jimmy Jones & The Pretenders. ==================================== Disc 2 ==================================== May 31, 1973 - WGOE Radio, Alpha Studios, Richmond, VA, US The Uber Series Volume '22' (Pre-Air Production Reel-To-Reel Tape): 01 Intro 1:12.14 02 Satin Doll 1:21.71 03 Band Introduction 0:47.40 04 Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street? 4:37.18 05 Something Obscene 1:13.15 06 The Circus Song 5:15.68 07 Tonight We Have Vini 1:12.46 08 Growin' Up 3:46.02 09 Banter 0:16.67 10 New York City Song 6:24.49 11 Gonna Do One More 0:51.42 12 You Mean So Much To Me 7:17.23 13 Outro 1:22.62 Total Disc Time: 35:39.67 Bruce's 2nd known radio show - but this one is unusual because it took place at Richmond's Alpha Sound Studios, not at the station itself. It was broadcast live by WGOE-FM via a remote link. In addition to the samll audience heard in the studio included Mike Appel, Jim Cretecos. Albee Tellone, and David Sancious (who had yet to join to band but was employed at the studio at the time). The 6-song setlist is the complete performance. Sourced from the Pre-air production reel-to-reel tape. This is a huge upgrade over the existing AM-sourced recording commonly traded. This performance (which features all the band in cameos except for Vini Lopez) is highlighted by what many consider the definitive available version of "You Mean So Much To Me". During the show a fan calls into the radio station and requests Bruce's old Steel Mill chestnut "Resurrection", but Bruce doesn't play it. Interestingly as Bruce takes his seat to perform a song solo at the piano one of the entourage can be heard saying "Janey?", apparently thinking Bruce was going to perform the recently composed "Janey Needs A Shooter" to which Bruce replies "no" and instead delivers a fine version of his then-new "New York City Song". ==================================== Disc 3 ==================================== January 6, 1974 - Joe's Place, Cambridge, MA, US The Uber Series Volume '21' (Soundboard): 01 You Mean So Much To Me 12:07.45 02 Growin' Up 3:21.36 03 Let The Four Winds Blow 6:39.48 04 Introduction 5:22.67 05 Zero And Blind Terry 7:29.18 06 Blinded By The Light 6:14.46 07 Intro 6:23.39 08 For You 8:07.15 09 Tuning 1:25.32 10 Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) 9:39.15 11 Joe Spadafora Thanks 1:59.31 12 Twist And Shout 4:58.68 Total Disc Time: 73:49.10 One show, double bill, with Springsteen headlining and Peter Johnson & The Manic Depressives opening. Sprinsteen's show consisted of two hour-long sets separated by an intermission. This is the second set. ==================================== Total Combined Time: 170:06.45 ==================================== |
