"This is the opening night of the Born in the USA Tour. The band sounds great, but their sound will change greatly over the tour. Early on in the tour, the drums sounded more natural and Bruce had no routine to copy. In my opinion, this is the most enjoyable and novel show from the 1st 4-5 weeks of the tour.
The Dancing in the Dark video is filmed this night and is played 2 times for the cameras. No Surrender makes its full band debut and will be played only 1 other time this way on the tour.
This recording has been carefully remastered from uncirculated cassettes that I have been sitting on for a long time. The recording had some songs which were cut (Glory Days, Bobby Jean, and The Detroit Medley). Fortunately, the cut songs are replaced and heard in their entirety on this release thanks to Rockcat who supplied me with complete copies of the aforementioned cut songs from his master cassettes (altenate source). Thanks also to Tattoo Dad for starting his UBER Project.
Enjoy this release. Roll down your windows - and play it loud." - Johnny98
