Memorial Sports Arena, Los Angeles, CA - + The Boots.net: This show, the first night after the murder of John Lennon, is one of the more emotional shows of Bruce Springsteen's career. Bruce made a short speech at the start of the show, saying, "If it hadn't been for John Lennon, we wouldn't be here tonight." All of the fall 1980 shows were long, and this night wasn't an exception, as Bruce did 34 songs, including the "Detroit Medley" and an emotional "Twist and Shout." Circulating under the title "The Lennon Show." |
Live In Tempe 1980

- 05.11.1980 - Activity Center, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ - Disc 1 - 01. Born To Run 02. Prove It All Night 03. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out 04. Darkness On The Edge Of Town 05. Independence Day 06. Factory 07. Jackson Cage 08. Two Hearts 09. The Promised Land 10. Out In The Street 11. Racing In The Street 12. The River 13. Badlands - Disc 2 - 01. Thunder Road 02. No Money Down 03. Cadillac Ranch 04. Hungry Heart 05. Fire 06. Candy's Room 07. Sherry Darling 08. Here She Comes 09. I Wanna Marry You 10. The Ties That Bind 11. Stolen Car 12. Wreck On The Highway 13. Point Blank 14. Crush On You 15. Ramrod - Disc 3 - 01. You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch) 02. Drive All Night 03. Backstreets 04. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) 05. I'm A Rocker 06. Jungleland 07. The Detroit Medley - Notes - + Brucebase (05.11.1980): Soundboard recording. One of the finest, most intense shows of the River Tour, perhaps related to the fact that Ronald Reagan had been elected president the day before – which Bruce notes with displeasure during the show. Soundboard tape released on CDs "Heart and Soul" (E Street Records) and "Live In Tempe" (Palace), and most recently remastered on CDR "Love Soul & A Broken Heart" (Ev2). The audio recording of “Badlands” from this show (minus spoken intro) was officially released on the Live 1975-85 box set. This entire show was professionally filmed in its entirety by producer/director Howard Lamden (who also served as Executive Editor). Lamden had previously filmed Pink Floyd and was the Director of Jackson Browne’s early '80s Downtown documentary. Unfortunately the film of this show remains in Springsteen’s vault and is not circulating among collectors. It is likely that the very brief snippets of River Tour pro-shot performance footage seen in the promotional ‘10 Years Burning Down The Road’ advertisement for the Live 1975-85 box set emanates from the Howard Lamden film of this concert - although that is not 100% certain at this point. Many highlights in this show, including perhaps the definitive performance of “Drive All Night”. (…) |
