    1981-08-20 - LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL SPORTS ARENA, LOS ANGELES, CA

    WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN (3.42) / PROVE IT ALL NIGHT (4.55) / THE TIES THAT BIND (3.27) / DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN (4.20) / JOHNNY BYE-BYE / INDEPENDENCE DAY / TRAPPED / TWO HEARTS (start cut) / OUT IN THE STREET / THE PROMISED LAND / THE RIVER / THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND / BADLANDS / THUNDER ROAD / HUNGRY HEART / YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH) / CADILLAC RANCH / SHERRY DARLING / JOLE BLON / WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY / RACING IN THE STREET / CANDY'S ROOM / RAMROD / ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT) - SWEET SOUL MUSIC / JUNGLELAND / BALLAD OF EASY RIDER / BORN TO RUN / DETROIT MEDLEY - I HEAR A TRAIN - LAND OF 1000 DANCES - YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN - SWEET SOUL MUSIC - SHAKE / TWIST AND SHOUT

    Audience tape and partial (first set) soundboard. Concert is a benefit for the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation and features passionate versions of many songs including "The River", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Prove It All Night" and "Darkness On The Edge Of Town". Also includes a stunning "Ballad Of Easy Rider", the only known performance. Springsteen stops singing during "The River", either due to overwhelming emotion or to shake hands with the veterans seated around the stage - opinion is divided. An outstanding “Detroit Medley” includes snippets of “I Hear A Train”, "Land Of 1000 Dances", “Sweet Soul Music” and “Shake”. "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" also includes a brief "Sweet Soul Music" during the band introductions. Widely considered one of Springsteen's finest shows. Released on CD 'A Night For The Vietnam Veteran' (Winged Wheel), and 'Written On The Wall' from a remastered tape. Now available as a direct master recording remaster by Ev2 which has the complete "This Land Is Your Land" and "Twist And Shout" from the very good sounding audience tape. None of the previous recordings/sources had these two songs as complete from the better sounding audience tape. This is the same source as "Written On The Wall" but from a direct master recording which results in a slightly better sound quality - 'As Dreams Don't Mean Nothin' - A Night For The Vietnam Veterans' (Ev2).

    - i hate to fall into stereotype but the vietnam vets gig from a few nights before is still my all time favourite of anyone.
  2. 6 concerts .. 5 openers .. just for saying

  3. Still consider that one of the best gigs I've seen & I still don't know why Seattle was snubbed.
  4. Key Arena .. i would love to be there once at least ...
  5. i thought trapped really worked as an opener.

    forgot to post this the other day, buenos aires 15 10 88 complete (think it's a broadcast, it's definitely better than the sound on my old vhs/dvd)

  6. not a very good news still ...

    Tom Morello To Join Wrecking Ball Tour In Australia

    Since Stevie Van Zandt’s filming commitments to his highly successful television show Lilyhammer will keep him off stage for the upcoming Australian tour dates, Bruce Springsteen has invited Tom Morello to sit in temporarily on guitar. Following the Australian dates, Van Zandt will return to the tour in Oslo, Norway on April 29, 2013.

    Tom Morello performed on multiple recordings from ‘Wrecking Ball’ (Jack of All Trades, This Depression), and recently joined Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band onstage for performances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, at SXSW and for the legendary 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert. He has also joined the band on concert tour stops in NYC, Los Angeles and Chicago. Morello will perform at the 2013 MusiCares benefit gala honoring Bruce Springsteen.

    A mainstay on Best Guitarist lists worldwide, Tom Morello AKA The Nightwatchman is also known for his outstanding work with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave.
  7. Ghost of tom joad every night then and no sign of stuff like restless nights that steve wants in the set. Hardly the end of the world though. I'm just hoping the aussies can get their taping and uploading act together.
  8. maybe Bruce will play Restless Nights just to tease Stevie hehe
  9. Well, great, because Lilyhammer is great.
  10. Not as great as Tom Morello. Legendary guitarist.

  11. Yeah, but he would really butcher Steve's part on "Jungleland." I imagine the results being tasteless...

    Morello's a great guitarist, but it wouldn't work if he became a regular member.
  12. Of course it wouldn't, but it's good to have Morello of all people to fill in for a few gigs.
