Lynn Goldsmith. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

The coffee-table book *Lynn Goldsmith. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band* by TASCHEN introduces you to a beloved icon of rock music and his legendary E Street Band. Lynn Goldsmith’s raw and unvarnished photographs from the late 1970s capture Bruce and his band as they record his classic album ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town,’ spend time together, rehearse, and go on tour.

In 1977, dismissed by the press as a flash in the pan, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band went into the studio to record the *Darkness* album, which would transform a ‘kid from New Jersey’ into America’s preeminent poet of the underdogs. The tour that followed would later be regarded as one of the most legendary in the history of rock ‘n’ roll, fueled by the edgy intensity of a group determined to prove themselves.

“Lynn Goldsmith’s photographs remain a record of a time when I was truly playing for my life, night after night.” — Bruce Springsteen.

Lynn Goldsmith, who was present during the recording, release, and tour of *Darkness on the Edge of Town*, traces the memorable milestones in Springsteen’s journey to becoming an American icon. With insightful forewords by both artists, the book brings together hundreds of photographs—classic, rare, and never-before-seen—that bring to life a star at the height of his ambition.
