Bruce Springsteen Live - Kemper Arena, Kansas City - November 19, 1984
153One of my favorite Bruce boots of all time. I recorded this originally off the radio back in 1985 when WBYR Buffalo aired the concert on Bruce’s birthday. Amazing audio leaving you feeling like you were there! Sadly I spent the next 30 years trying to get a new recording of it because the one I had was on cassette tape and had worn with all the play. This is the best/closest audio I have found since. Great encore, great energy and performances throughout.

The Born in the U.S.A. Tour was the supporting concert tour of Bruce Springsteen’s massively popular Born in the U.S.A. album. It was his longest and most successful tour to date. It featured a physically transformed Springsteen. After two years of bodybuilding, Springsteen had bulked up considerably. The tour was the first since the Born to Run tour without guitarist Steven Van Zandt who decided to go solo after recording the album with the group. Van Zandt, who was replaced by Nils Lofgren would appear a few times throughout the tour and in some of the music videos to promote the album. It was also the first tour to feature Springsteen’s future wife, Patti Scialfa.
