Pre-order vinyl:

As most Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes fans know, the tradition of the group playing a New Year's Eve concert in New Jersey goes back a long way. And once upon a time, those shows were held at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic. This triple LP album pressed on 180 gram yellow marble vinyl is a real collector's package. Check out, on YouTube, a great black-and-white clip of the band playing a pulse-pounding version of "Trapped Again" at the Capitol on Dec. 30, 1978, with keyboardist and backing vocalist Kevin Kavanaugh really making his presence felt towards the end, trading anguished pleas with Southside. Written by Southside, along with Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt, "Trapped Again" was a highlight of the 1978 Jukes album, Hearts of Stone, which many Jukes fans consider their favorite.
