The above mentioned 6 songs are taken from audio of a Bruce Springsteen Band rehearsal. The band line-up is Van Zandt-Sancious-Tallent-Lopez. In addition to the 55 minutes of music there are nearly 7 minutes of fascinating between-song banter, much of it between Springsteen and Tinker West, who Bruce jokingly refers to as 'Stinky'. Tinker appears to be testing some new recording equipment. The sound quality is uniformly excellent. It is evident from the discussions that the rehearsals had been going on for some time before the recording starts. It should be noted that this is not Challenger’s more famous Wanamassa location that Bruce had lived in during the 1969-70 Steel Mill era. Tinker West had relocated the factory to Highlands, NJ in mid-1971 and had then constructed a more professional rehearsal room.
The standout track here is “When You Dance”. Although rough quality live renditions exist, this is a clear rendition, with astounding Springsteen-Van Zandt dual lead guitar interplay. Noteworthy as well is “Funk Song” (also known as “Funk Says Right On”). There are no live renditions of “Funk Song” from this period circulating, however Bruce surprisingly resurrected it during a few shows early on the Born To Run tour (see gig listings for July 23, 1975 , July 19, 1975 and August 8, 1975 ). In addition to the Dylan's "All Over Now Baby Blue", there is also a cover of “I’ve Got To Have You Baby”, an obscure 1956 R&B single by Jimmy Jones & The Pretenders. “Look Towards The Land” first surfaced on the boot “Bound For Glory” (Flamingo), albeit in vastly reduced sound quality to that found on the master tape. “Don’t You Want To Be An Outlaw” (also known by the titles “Jesse James” or “Billy”) first surfaced on “Deep Down In The Vaults" (E Street). The sound quality on this boot is only slightly reduced from the master tape. In early 2007 the soundboard of all 6 songs (62 minutes audio) finally surfaced (in excellent quality) into the mainstream collector market via the title "Uber Series #26" and then remastered as "Prodigal Son Meets The Ubers #5" (Prodigal Son) and "The Early Uber Collection" (Ev2).

Thanks so much for this Dave!! At one point, I was a knowledgeable Bruce fan, but I missed this completely. Didn't know nuttin'
So sad to hear about Megaupload getting "popped". I don't know if all their servers are down & dead, I assume they are. Hope this doesn't impact you in any way, other than a lost set of files..... ( did this thru Rapidshare.)
