The official Bruce Springsteen archive has released another full show from the vaults.
This month’s release is Asbury Park, NJ – November 26, 1996 taken from Springsteen’s solo acoustic tour supporting his album The Ghost Of Tom Joad.
The ‘solo’ show includes plenty of guest appearances from Patti Scialfa, Soozie Tyrell, Danny Federici, Stevie Van Zandt, Vini Lopez, Richard Blackwell and the late Big Danny Gallagher, all of whom feature in a rollicking encore that opens with the tour premiere of “I Don’t Want To Go Home.”
Bruce’s setlist explores the exuberance of youth (“For You,” “It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City,” “Spirit In The Night”) and the realities of adulthood (“Tougher Than The Rest,” “All That Heaven Will Allow,” “When You’re Alone”), along with tales of those living on the margins (“Straight Time,” “Sinaloa Cowboys,” “Across The Border”).
The album is available now here.
