Bruce Springsteen WABC Interview August 21, 1978 Before MSG Show This copy of the interview was transferred from a VHS tape that the station kept in its archives. It says the broadcast date is September 11, 1978 on the tape; not sure if that is true or not. Anyways, some sources say that this interview lasted 10 minutes; this copy is only about 6 minutes and looks complete to me. The picture quality is an improvement from what I have seen of the interview, especially the version on Youtube. The tape itself looked like it had never been played before. Furthermore, it wasn't just some run-of-the-mill tape they threw in for a copy, no it was a high quality Gold tape with no brand name on it. The interview itself is a short but very interesting one with Bruce before his first show ever at Madison Square Garden. Some footage from this first show, Badlands and Spirit In The Night, is shown in the video.
