Bruce Springsteen/WA,USA 1980

Like the “PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL” this time, this is the first Seattle performance from the 1980 “The River” tour. The sound source of this day is also unusually on-stage among the audience recordings capturing the stage in 1980, and this was recorded in mono, so the tight and solid sound quality is different from Philadelphia, which is a wonderful sound source. Moreover, regarding this day, “Drive All Night”, which was not performed there, was played at the end of the show, making it a rare set list that seems to be from the early days of the “River” tour. Songs such as this song and “Crush On You” were regularly played on the initial “River” tour, and the appeal was that the color of the promotion of the album was stronger. On this day, the performances, including those, were wonderful, and you can listen to them with great sound quality. Unfortunately, this recording has some drawbacks, such as skipping on “The Promised Land” and “Rosalita”, and the recording being interrupted on “Stolen Car” and the final “Detroit Medley”, and “Ties That Bind” and “Cadillac Ranch” not being included. Despite this, the reason for releasing this is the excellent sound quality and performance. We will release this limited number of copies as a recording that allows you to listen to the dynamism of the beginning of this tour with very excellent sound quality, which you cannot experience in Nassau or Arizona. And this recording had pitch errors throughout the long show, but this time it has been perfectly adjusted, making it an easy-to-listen-to and enjoyable item that you will almost forget is an incomplete recording. Don’t miss the release of this valuable recording. Live at Seattle Center Coliseum, WA 24th October 1980 TRULY AMAZING SOUND Disc 1 1. Intro. 2. Badlands 3. Out In The Street 4.
