A nice sounding recording and a solid performance, from John Cafferty & Company at the peak of their success. I got this from Hear Rock City a while back so thanks go out to them. The Springsteen-esque sound of John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band was the perfect soundtrack to the story of Eddie and the Cruisers, a fictional band from Jersey that makes it big only to have it's lead vocalist disappear mysteriously. The band rode the success of the movie and soundtrack into the charts. More soundtrack work followed in Sylvester Stallone's Cobra and Rocky IV. Download this show that is full of all the bands hits  and a fine performance, too.
