Bruce Springsteen

In late 1977, Bruce Springsteen was riding high on the success of his acclaimed album 'Born to Run,' which had been released in 1975, and he was gearing up for the release of 'Darkness on the Edge of Town' in 1978. The live performance of 'Quarter To Three' at the Summit in Houston on November 30, 1977, captured Springsteen's electrifying stage presence and the raw energy of the E Street Band, showcasing their deep connection and improvisational flair. This period was pivotal, as Springsteen was transitioning from the mainstream breakthrough of 'Born to Run' to the darker, more introspective themes of 'Darkness,' reflecting his personal and artistic growth. The energy in the Houston show is palpable, making it a cherished moment in Springsteen's live performance history that fans still celebrate today.
