Great book of candid and performance photographs from probably the greatest rock tour of all time - Springsteen's 1978 Darkness on the Edge of Town.
I've seen a lot of these photos but many I had not. My favorites aren't the performance photos but the band members backstage or out in public. It shows a group of musicians who are carving their place in the world.
I only gave this one 4 stars because I didn't think some the pictures did him justice. The author, Lynn Goldsmith, was Bruce's girlfriend at the time so you'd think she would've taken better pictures of him.
