Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ, September 19, 1978

Bruce Springsteen will be celebrating his 77th birthday coming up on September 23rd. We're taking you back to a legendary performance recorded live, just days before his 29th birthday!

On this broadcast of Live in Concert, we're going back to the "Darkness" tour. We'll listen to a jaw-dropping concert captured live at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey exactly 43 years ago this weekend. It was September 19, 1978.
