Notes:
This is my all-time favorite show. "Badlands" to open was spectacular. Perhaps the most exciting moment in the entire show was during the extended guitar introduction to "Prove It All Night." The tying together of "Racing In the Streets" and "Thunder Road" with the story about driving around in the Utah desert was superb. Bruce describes a sign written in "blood red paint" that says, "This is the land of peace, love, justice, and no mercy--and the sign said--Thunder Road." The most memorable moment of the show--and my favorite Springsteen moment of all time is when Bruce introduces the "Sad Eyes" "I remember you" insert into "Backstreets." This is the most emotional performance I have ever witnessed--and "Backstreets" is transformed into the ultimate breakup/betrayal song. "Look into my face," Springsteen screams. "You lied." The concert featured "The Promise" one of my favorites to this day and a lively version of "Rosalita." A most memorable show; Bruce, king of the east coast, finally staked his claim on L.A. Some sources states 10th avenue in place of 'Because the Night'
