Edited from Mark Persic's master recording.
Already also available as 'Last Night Special, Ev2' (which is completely different source) from the 'BTS' source but that source has 'Glory Days' cut.

"This show was rescheduled from 26/09. "The River" includes the intro story well known from the “Live 1975-85 set”. The same goes for “War”. During “Dancing In The Dark” his wife, at the time, Julianne Philips is the lucky girl. “I’m On Fire” includes a keyboard led intro. “This Land Is Your Land” is performed solo by Bruce. “Travellin’ Band” includes a line from “Mystery Train”. “Rockin’ All Over The World” and “Glory Days” features Jon Landau on guitar and has no story section." -brucebase

Thanks to MarkP for recording and sharing the show 20 years later.

"The '85 stadium tour has received mixed reaction from diehard fans,
many of whom have complained at the relative lack of intimacy in such cavernous venues;
and the lack of setlist changes from night to night. I never saw any of the shows myself,
but bootlegs such as this one (and the tremendous Independence Night from London '85)
indicate that the band was in fact putting on some really tight and truly fun performances.
Perhaps in hindsight, the larger than life '85 tour has received an undeserved reputation from the fans.
The fact is that the final night in LA was a loud, powerful, energetic emotional show,
and is in terms of performance equal to the best of the other BUSA tour boots I've heard.
It could well be though, that the musical aspect of this kind of show is better enjoyed on bootleg than at the actual show,
where there were undoubtedly tens of thousands of casual fans there more for the spectacle than the music. " - 'Magnus'
