Well,we contend that, at one time, the E Street Band was the hardest working BANDin show business. This volume of rehearsals from 1979presents a further bit of evidence to support this.Capturing the band rehearsing several tunes never to be released,along with one that did eventually see the light of day ("The Ties That Bind"),it's easy to see how, over the years, these guys coalesced into perhaps the tightest of all rock bands.The answer to why this came about is threefold: they loved what they were doing,they worked at it as hard, if not harder, than anyone,and they were driven by a passionate taskmaster who knew exactly what he wantedand how to go about getting it. Bruce was nothing if not a perfectionist,and he expected nothing less from Max, Danny, Roy, Clarence and Garry.If they needed to rehearse a tune 10 times in a row to get it right, so be it.You can feel the camaraderie and the teamwork just oozing from these rehearsals and,although you may not play these on a daily basis,these recordings offer unique insight into the evolution of(with apologies to the Stones and the Who)what we think is the greatest rock and roll band in the world.Among the offerings here are some fine songs that would have been interestingto hear in a studio setting, particularly "Find It Where You Can" and the powerful"In the City Tonight." Studio chattter and false starts "pepper" the proceedings,which we feel adds tb the overall charm of these "sessions".The complete take of "The Ties That Bind" is a highlight,but it is the ferocious manner in which the E Street Band attacks the unreleased"In the City Tonight" which makes this set. Whether it is the guitar solos,practicing the intros and outros or just working out the instrumental breaks,this is a most interesting look at the "devolution" and evolution of song construction.
