Bruce Springsteen Los Angeles April 23 1988

Los Angeles, April 23, 1988 is an archive released live recording of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band with the Horns Of Love.

It was recorded at the Los Angeles Sports Arena during the Tunnel Of Love tour and is available from liveBruceSpringsteen.net.

This follows on from previous archive recordings from 1975, 1978, 1980 and 1984 that have been released in the same way.

After the worldwide success of Born In the USA in 1984/85, Springsteen went back into his shell with the Tunnel Of Love album and whilst it sold well, it lacked the commerciality of his earlier album.

By this stage Nils Lofgren was a member of the E Street Band after Miami Steve Van Zandt had left. His future wife and mother of three children, Patti Scialfi was also a member.

Bruce Springsteen Tower Theater Pennsylvania 1975

I’ve been slow to feature the recording of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band performing live in concert at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania on
December 31, 1975 released by http://live.brucespringsteen.net.

That’s because I’ve ticked off 1975 in my mind with the excellent Hammersmith Odeon recording and an album from the 1980 tour promoting The River was my highest priority. I must be getting complacent but there was little on there that screamed “You Must Have It” in my mind.

Bruce Springsteen Nassau Coliseum Uniondale New York 1980

The latest archive live recording released by http://live.brucespringsteen.net is the concert performed at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on December 31, 1980.

At last we have an authorised live album from the tour promoting The River and after remastering in March 2015 by Adam Ayan, it sounds terrific.

After the Agora, Clevland concert from 1978 was released, this was next on my wanted list of live albums by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

I’ve always seen The River in the second tier of Springsteen albums. It’s very good but it doesn’t match the greatness of Darkness On The Edge Of Town, Born To Run or The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. To be fair, in the history of rock music, few albums reach that pinnacle.
