The Darkness on the Edge of Town tour!

For those lucky (and old!) enough to have been there, this book will be like re-living a great moment with friends.  For those of us who missed it, this could very well be the next best thing to being there.


Having been a fan for thirty plus years, I have read or perused countless books about Bruce and only three have made it onto the list of "Must Own", needless to say I highly recommend the new book!

Here are my three picks:

Lawrence is creating his second book about Bruce and its sure to be as excellent as his first one, For You. This book is called "The Light in Darkness". He's looking for contributions so stop by his site and share your thoughts! I contributed to the last one and its kind of a thrill to see your name in such a high quality collection of tributes from Bruce's fans.

Here is a description of the new book:

Featuring stories and recollections by Bruce's legendary fans. Plus... Incredible never-seen-before original concert photos from the 1978 tour.

Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town broke new ground for The Boss in 1978.
A counterpoint to the operatic elegance of Born to Run, the album was an angry, raw record that burst forth after a three-year hiatus.

Because of its darker tones, Darkness is a difficult album for the casual listener, but for Bruce's legion of dedicated fans, it is a cherished gem.
The Light in Darkness is a forthcoming book that celebrates this classic Springsteen work.

This new book allows fans to tell their tales of incredible shows from the 1978 tour and recount how this great Springsteen album has touched their lives.
