Some Day, Tonight InstrumentalThis second volume of "Darkness" Masters presents what we consider to be a treasure trove of never-before-heard versions of Bruce classics and unreleased gems. Brought to you in the highest quality possible, our set starts out with 5 songs from the August 1977 sessions at Atlantic Studios or The Record Plant. These songs ( "Badlands", "Adam Raised A Cain", "Factory", "Racing in the Street" and "Prove It All Night" ) all feature radical lyrical changes to the released versions and provide additional insight into the meaning behind the songs. Indeed, though one could argue that the released versions are superior, it is clear that Bruce and the E Street Band were on a roll during these sessions, as these five songs all make strong and powerful statements, both musically and lyrically. Regrettably, early versions of "Because the Night" and a slower paced "Racing in the Street" are cut short. However, early, alternate takes of "Streets of Fire", "Sherry Darling" and a lyrically different "Badlands" are among the unreleased classics "Candy's Boy, the instrumental "The Fast Song"and the beautiful and haunting "Spanish Eyes". Play the latter for someone questioning Bruce's vocal abilities! Our definitive set of "Darkness" Masters winds up with three cuts from the Record Plant in September 1977, "Independence Day", which made the final thirteen tracks considered for "Darkness" ( "The Promise" and "Don't Look Back" were also cut ), is a revelation, highlighted by the many lyrical differences to the released version and an astounding guitar ending by Miami Steve. Bruce dropped this because he felt it belonged in the next chapter of what he considered a continuing saga. The unreleased, original version of "Breakout" and "Someday, Tonight" complete our "Darkness" chronicles.
