Plus great footage of Bruce’s July 5, 1978 show from The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. July 8, 1978 — Pro shot footage of Born To Run, Badlands, Prove It All Night and Rosalita from Phoenix. All of this footage is just incredible. Rosalita is in another stratosphere, hot, hot, hot! This is the uncut version of Rosalita with the band intros (the one on the officially released video has this cut out). Numerous girls jump on the stage to kiss Bruce, and at the end a girl just wraps her arms around him and starts kissing away. I remember Bruce saying in an interview that “this girl started kissing me so hard, I thought she was going to suck out my tooth.” * Aug. 22, 1978 — TV interview with Joel Siegel of New York’s Channel 7 Eyewitness News during Bruce’s first headlining Madison Square Garden stand.

Jim the Dancing Bear, the Gypsy Woman fortune teller, the doctor, and the Dancing Trees also join the fun on stage. A very, very special moment as Bruce finishes this tour on top of the world.
