Interview Series Vol II "Darkness On the Air, KMET-FM interview with Mary
Turner, 7/4/78. (2 Disc set with 4 page booklet)
Excellent 60 min. interview with radio DJ personality Mary Turner at the
peak of the 78 Darkness Tour.
An interesting piece of conversation given the events of the day and into the evening hours. After playing the July 1st show at the Berkeley Community Theater, Bruce spends most of the day with Dave Marsh while Marsh is piecing together an article for the August issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. Around 8PM Marsh and Jon Landau accompany Bruce to the studios of KMET-FM in Los Angeles to the complete surprise of Mary Turner and station staff. Bruce gives a raw and rare performance, answering Mary's questions with the ol' E Street wit we've come to appreciate over the years. Shortly after leaving the studios Bruce and Co. Climb the fire escape of a local building to spray paint the advertised "Darkness" billboard, and the rest as they say is history.
I let the recording reel run free and when I finally decided to
"digitalize" the interview I decided to leave some of the commercial
advertisements as they were heard, an artifact of those twelve months of
1978. Also left intact are the songs that Mary and Bruce choose to play as I
felt this would lend some continuity to the interview including the live tracks
Bruce brought along with him to play on the air that night..
DISC 2
Finish of KMET interview with live recording of "Paradise by the Sea"
brought into the studio by Bruce to play on the air. Bruce
exists........
06/76 WPLJ-FM Phone interview with Father Bill Ayers. This one was done in the
early morning hours or late late evening as Bruce chats= with Father Ayers and
discusses various subjects about his future and current musical directions.
23 min.
11/4/77 WIOQ-FM Phone conversation with Ed Sciakey. This one didn't make the
"Northeast of the Dial" set last year. a six minute conversation with
Bruce from the studio while he's finishing mixes for the "Darkness"
LP. Bruce sounds like he hasn't slept for a few days...................
12/23/77 WHFS-FM Bethesda, MD. In the radio station sending Christmas
Greetings to all the ardent supporters.
12/31/77 WNEW-FM broadcast from the Passaic Theatre. with Southside Johnny.
Great, Great version of the Jackie Wilson hit "Higher and Higher"
mixed with a blazing version of "Can't Sit Down", sandwiched between
is the Mitch Ryder swan song "Little Latin Loupe Lou". They don't do
it like this on the Radio anymore...................................
There are a few bootlegs around with the tracks hacked off from the performance,
This one not being one of them. The Tape is rolling, Bruce is "Drunk and
Silly as a Fool! " (Bruce's words, not mine) and the rest has been lost to
history.
