Bruce Springsteen

In 1987, Bruce Springsteen was in the midst of a significant artistic transition, having just released the acclaimed 'Tunnel of Love' earlier that year. This album marked a more introspective phase for Springsteen, addressing themes of love and relationships with a sonic departure from the raucous energy of his earlier hits. The live recording from November 30, 1987, in East Berlin captures him at a pivotal moment in his career, closing a chapter while simultaneously embracing a new sound. Performing 'Born in the USA' during this Tunnel of Love Express Tour not only showcased his evolving artistry but also held immense historical significance, as the concert occurred shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The atmosphere at the Radrennbahn was electric, as Springsteen's music resonated with a yearning for freedom, making this concert a memorable milestone in both his career and the cultural fabric of that era.
