All fall Bruce has been recreating his classic albums on stage to much acclaim. What if he could recreate his classic concerts? Wouldn't that be something? Well, that's not what's going to happen exactly. But the famous  cover band Tramps Like Us is planning to recreate what has been called the single greatest Bruce live performance ever: the September 19, 1978, concert at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. Yes, on February 11, 2010, the almost 20 year old cover band will be on stage at the BB King's Blues Club on Time Square playing the legendary concert from start to finish, including no doubt extended versions of "Prove It All Night", "She's the One" and "Backstreets" just the way they were played on that night more than 30 years ago. If you live in the area, this is not to be missed.

For those of you who may not know, the Passaic show was broadcast live on the radio and released on the historic bootleg Piece de Resistance. The show has since been rereleased on bootleg CD in several versions, and it has even turned up as a bootleg DVD, albeit in the shape of a rather questionable b/w recording. Still, I bet the members of Tramps Like Us are going to study it intensely in the next couple of months.
