Geetarz Comments:

Derek and the Dominos played two consecutive nights at the Community Theatre in Berkeley, California, and this recording represents the first of those two nights.

Sitting in with the band that night was a 16 year old Neal Schon. In a 1995 “Off the Record” (Westwood One) interview, this was Schon’s recollection:

“You know, I had been doing a lot of playing in San Francisco … I had lived in the Bay area … I didn’t have a driver’s license … so a good friend of mine, Jackie, that ended up working for Journey later, would come and pick me up on weekends and I’d go play on Broadway … I’d play at [Mike Bloomfield’s] club,and it became this thing, there was like, this ‘buzz’ in the city, about this kid [Schon].

I was in the studio with the Santana band, and we were just jamming, you know, getting high and jamming, and staying up until the wee hours of the morning, and just trying to create some music, and Eric Clapton walked in. You know, Eric Clapton at that time, was like, and before that time, had been like a god to me, a guitar hero, and he walked in and I didn’t even say ‘hello’, I was like so scared he was in the room … and we played all night, and without even saying goodbye to or anything to him he walked out, and I was just still like …in shock.

So I went home, went to sleep at some ungodly hour, got up at 3 or 4, went back to Wally Heider’s in San Francisco where we were rehearsing, and I had a message there waiting at the front desk, and it was from Clapton, and he was playing at the [Berkeley] Community Theatre there that night, and he invited me to play with him.

So, I didn’t have a car, I didn’t have a license … I can’t remember exactly who drove me there … I forget too many things these days, too many drugs (laughs) … but, she drove me, I remember she drove me over there, and I got there about 5 or 10 minutes before he went on stage, and he said “… I’ll go out
and play about two numbers, and then I’ll call you out on stage as a really good friend of mine, and you can stay up the whole rest of the night and play the whole set with me.

I said “yeah, okay … no problem”, because I knew all his songs, all his guitar solos, from record, note-for-note … I wasn’t scared to do it, because I knew all his material, like the back of my hand, I had studied it for so many years … I went on, and just ripped the place up, and he loved it.

He [Clapton] invited me back to his hotel later that evening, and basically was asking me ‘who do you listen to?’, and I said “well, I listen to YOU” and he said bleep, ‘I don’t believe it’, he didn’t believe it and there was this little acoustic guitar in his room, and I played him note-for-note ‘Live Crossroads’
or something, and he was like “I can’t believe that, you’ve taken it where I left it”.

And that’s still [like] the ultimate compliment for me at this point in my life, coming from any guitarist, and I’ll never forget that, a highlight of my life!”

Overall, this is an exceptional performance, and a worthwhile
listen for those intrepid enough to brave a fair to poor audience
recording. Once again I invoke Geetarz’ Law, which states “The best
performances are usually captured by the worst recordings, and
vicey versa”.

I am using the corrected track titles, not the ones listed on the bootleg covers. Mingus himself announces some of the
tunes with different names, but he would do that a lot, so to keep things simple I’m sticking to the most commonly used
titles of these tunes.

The original bootleg CDs had tracks 1-4 on Vol. 1, and the rest on Vol. 2. The show as presented here is not in the correct
running order. Surely, the first track played that evening was “AT-FW-YOU”, the second probably “So Long Eric.” But without
me knowing for sure, I have left the running order the same as the original 2 bootleg CDs.

  • Tracks 7,17 from ‘Lost Masters XVII’, LOVE 017
  • Tracks 14,15,16 from ‘Lost Masters XVI’, LOVE 016

Track descriptions:
01 Contains a different Springsteen vocal overdub and a very long, extended jam ending.
02 This track has the original Van Zandt background vocals.
03 Slighly different version / mix.
04 Unedited, contains an entire extra verse (about Bruceís dad) that was cut from the officially released version.
05 One of his finest studio performances. For some bizarre reason Springsteen & The E Street Band re-recorded the
song in 1995 and released that re-recording on ‘Greatest Hits’ ñ but it pales in comparison to this original.
06 Different mix than on the one released on ‘Tracks’.
07 Bruce borrowed the first two lines from Chuck Berryís song ìBye Bye Johnnyî (as well as the play on the title),
which is why itís registered as a Springsteen-Berry composition.
08 Originally recorded for “Darkness”, and recorded again here, this was considered for the ‘Greatest Hits’ collection but was finally dropped.
09 Full, unedited version that includes lyric changes and the complete raucous ending. This track runs nearly a full 1:30 longer than the released version.
10 Slighly different version / mix.
11 A bit longer version.
12 Beautiful keyboards by Danny and Roy augment some fine acoustic guitar playing by Bruce.
13 Presented in best-ever quality, this unreleased gem far eclipses any current circulated versions.
14 Unreleased studio outtake.
15 Wonderful tune with a killer chorus – note the bass line similar to the Human Touch B-side ’30 Days Out’
16 Short but energetic rocker.

‘Thrill Hill West’ is Springsteenís home studio in Los Angeles (aka ‘Hollywood Hills Garage Studio’)
Most band tracks are E Street Band backing versions from so-called ìelectric Nebraska sessionî

Disc Two (2) details:

  • Track 1 recorded at The Hit Factory, from the April-June 1983 sessions.
  • Track 3 PROBABLY recorded at The Hit Factory during Jan or early Feb 1982. May be from later.

  • Tracks 12,14,16 recorded at Thrill Hill West, January through May 1983.
  • Track 15 recorded at Thrill Hill West, January 4, 1983.

Source details:

  • Tracks 1,2,3,4,5,6 from ‘Murder Incorporated’, FR03
  • Track 7 from ‘This Hard Land’, BS2002
  • Tracks 9,10 from ‘Lost Masters XIX’, LOVE 019
  • Tracks 14,16, from ‘Lost Masters XVII’, LOVE 017
  • Track 12 from ‘Lost Masters XVIII’, LOVE 018
  • Tracks 15,11,13 from ‘Lost Masters XVI’, LOVE 016
  • Track 8 from ‘Lost Masters IV’, LOVE 004

Track descriptions:
01 The original mix without the new (90’s) vocal track or the overdubbed second guitar on ‘The Essential BS’. One of my favourite tracks, too bad the sound quality is what it is.
02 Different mix permutation of the same core recording as #1.
03 Completely different recording than the released ‘Cover Me’ done in a dramatically different arrangement.
This may actually date from a later period in the sessions than the original ‘Cover Me’.
04 Same core recording as on ‘Tracks’, but has a much longer fade out (very nice) and features Steve Van Zandt on background vocals and guitar.
05 Different mix permutation of the same core recording as #1.
06 Different mix than on the one released on ‘Tracks’.
07 Includes slightly different lyrics and an alternate beginning and ending.
08 This song was given to Donna Summer, who was recording an album at the time at the same studio.
Summerís cover version (with Springsteen on guitar) was recorded in March 1982 (released Aug 82).
Bruce and Donna also recorded a duet vocal version at her sessions ñ it remains uncirculating.
09 Original mix with the saxophone track (deleted on ‘Tracks’).
10 Features Ruth Jackson on background vocals. Possibly recorded at the same session as ‘My Hometown’ (which also features Jackson).
11 By far the definitive version of this song ñ contains an additional, important lyric verse that has been cut from all the other versions.
12 Brilliant song that developed from a 1981-82 work-in-progress composition called ‘James Lincoln Dear’
13 Unreleased studio outtake.
14 Unreleased studio outtake.
15 Compelling song. Features a dark, brooding beat that mirrors the disturbing nature of the lyrics. A nice vocal performance here and we’re left wondering what possessed him to write this one.
16 Add this to the ever expanding list of Bruce’s greatest unreleased songs. A man surveys his life and wonders if he can ever escape the demons of his past.

  • ‘Thrill Hill West’ is Springsteenís home studio in Los Angeles (aka ‘Hollywood Hills Garage Studio’).
  • Most band tracks are E Street Band backing versions from so-called ìelectric Nebraska sessionî

OK, so I had already done the ‘Born To Run’, ‘Darkness’ & ‘The River’ outtakes, most BITUSA outtake bootlegs only have 1cd
and don’t include as many different tracks as I’d like to. So I just tried to add all important tracks to the same boot.
I know, not every outtake is included and that wasn’t my intention either.

The first disc is supposed to be the original track listing of ‘Murder Incorporated’, the never-released 1983 album which was
(as you can see/hear) a lot darker than ‘Born In The U.S.A.’ Also included are the 5 b-sides Bruce had intended to use. (SEE BELOW)

When burning this compilation, make sure you burn it DAO – without the 2 seconds gaps between each track.

Big thanks to a few people on SPL (reidneile, jumpstone) – I hope you all enjoy this.
This one’s dedicated to ‘richr’ and all his friends over at ‘Thunder Road’.

Thanks to brucebase & theboots.net for some of the song descriptions.

By July 1983 Springsteen was in the final stages of mixing and track selection for the album. There was talk of a pre-Christmas release.
There was certainly no shortage of outstanding material to pick from. A document exists from mid 1983 revealing Springsteenís selection for the BITUSA album,
as well his selections for b-sides. It was as follows:

BORN IN THE USA
MURDER INCORPORATED
DOWNBOUND TRAIN

CD-R (taper, equipment unknown) > CDEX > FLAC

Here, somewhat belatedly, is the first European show, and arguably the first show of the tour proper.

I was there and it was an amazing show, real fun, with a very eager audience.

The title is a reference to the correct pronunciation of “McGrath”. He explains how he was chastised about this in the intro, which is at the end of the track with ‘My Oklahoma Home’. The pronunciation regressed on the subsequent BBC concert, so while the setlist may not be unique, this show may be only one with him getting that surname right!

The sound quality is ok, but could do with some improvement. Rather than fiddle with it, I have left this exactly as on the CD-Rs, so someone with better software and mixing skills will have an untainted source. If someone would like to do a remix, here are some areas in need of attention:

  • The volume level is low and need normalising.
  • May need more bass.
  • There is some hiss on ‘s’ sounds, I noticed this on ‘My City of Ruins’
