Bruce Springsteen/VA,USA 1985

The 1985 tour of the mega-hit album “Born In The USA” at the height of its popularity kicked off at the Hampton Coliseum. The second day, January 5th, was recorded with an audience. The warm feel of the recording makes you want to call it analog-chick, and the sound image is stunningly on, even though it was recorded in a large venue. Unfortunately, there is a skip in Prove It All Night, but other than that, it is a very stable recording. The original tape speed was fast, but of course it was perfectly adjusted. The whole show was a typical pattern for the first half of 1985, and included numbers such as Growin’ Up, which has a long narration by Springsteen, and Racing In The Street, which is a long performance itself, and this was the long set list of the “Born In The USA” tour. Since it had not yet been a week since the new year, the last performance was Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, which was the last performance and the end, which was very typical of this time of year. This sound source itself has never been released before, and it is a high-grade item that will satisfy you with both the content and sound quality of this precious sound source.
