The Promise: Springsteen to open vault for Darkness box

Bruce Springsteen will release a Darkness on the Edge of Town retrospective on November 16, featuring 3 CDs and 3 DVDs.  The set will include a remastered copy of the album, 2-CDs of outtakes from the Darkness sessions, a making-of documentary and - the piece de resistance - a full show DVD from Houston 1978. 

For even the casual Springsteen fan, this is the holy grail.  For those who may not know, the Darkness tour is stuff of legend - marathon shows, off-the-charts intensity and, don't forget, a smoldering 10 minute version of Prove It All Night like this (but in HD)...

I officially cannot wait for November 16.  Check out brucespringsteen.net for a clip from the documentary and a fantastic outtake "Save My Love".
