The Light in Darkness is still one of the best books about the Darkness Tour of 1978. I still can’t believe how many wonderful photographs were taken of Bruce and the band on that incredible tour. Thanks again to Lawrence Kirsch for putting it together.

Great in-depth type review. There's no fans like Bruce fans. Dat's a fact Jack! (even in Baltimore!)

If you weren't around in 1978, 'The Light In Darkness' will take you back pretty close. If you were around, this will bring back a lot of great memories. The writing is excellent, with numerous outstanding stories such as the Agora story referenced above. If you are a fan, don't miss out. No one will regret getting this book.

This new book about the Darkness on the Edge of Town tour is stunning and absolutely wonderful. Bruce's 1978 tour is considered one of the greatest in the history of rock and roll. The Light in the Darkness perfectly captures the essence of that tour in its magnificent photographs and personal accounts from fans who witnessed some of the greatest concerts of Bruce's career. Lawrence Kirsch did a great job in assembling these photographs and stories. Kudos to Lawrence on his work as a photographer and as an author! Paul Haider, Chicago

I remember how I felt the day I was asked to contribute to this book. I went from feeling low to feeling like I was about to create something beautiful. When I finally held the book in my hand and read my contribution on the pages as well as the countless contributions by the many gifted writers in this book it was a high like no other I have ever experienced. Pick up a copy of this book and prepare to be transported to the most creative era on Bruce's career
