This
is what theboots.net has to say
Notes: Broadcast on WMMS radio in Cleveland,
OH. By early August, the Darkness tour was hitting full stride, with Bruce
opening with either "Badlands" or rare covers, such as "Rave
On," "Sweet Little Sixteen," or "Summertime Blues."
The "Sad Eyes" portion of Backstreets is heartstopping, and the
intros to "She's the One," whether it be "Mona" or
"Not Fade Away" coupled with "Gloria" just rocked the
house. August 9, 1978, featured all of the above and was one of the highlights
of the 78 tour. The story during "Growin' Up" was the "I was a
Teenage Werewolf," which became legendary. Available on the CDs "The
Teenage Werewolf," "Summertime Bruce," and "Agora 78,"
which is said to be the best release of the three.
