Good job! I'm still digging through it... I really really appreciate the effort. But chopping of "Further On (Up the Road)” is quite a bit tentative. This song was played in different arrangements at all subsequent tours. The song eventually was covered (as a natural) by Johnny Cash: “One sunny morning, we’ll rise, I know”.

The song is great, certainly not worthy of 185, if you wanted to chop something from this album surly chop the woeful ‘lets be friends’. Moreover this song provides a brief cameo into Bruce’s black-box at the time with lyrics like ‘ Now I’ve been out in the desert just doing my time, searching through the dust looking for a sign, whether there’s a light up ahead well brother I don’t know but Ive got this FEVER burning in my soul’.... It should never have been doubted that this fever would not have brouh Bruce back to his best. Streets of fire this low........ Ouch, the song/passion is unbelievable. ‘Got on my dead mans suit and my smiling skull ring, my lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing’ = lyrical genius…. who is this mysterious man!

Like For You, the forthcoming book will feature concert photography and stories from fans. Kirsch tells Backstreets, "This tribute to Darkness will be something special: more passionate stories, breathtaking never-seen-before photos, and some discovered artwork and memorabilia gems that will be of great interest to fans no matter when they were introduced to Bruce's music."
