Live/1975-85
Bruce Springsteen


Live gave us forty tracks recorded from a series of E Street band concerts from 1975 to 1985. Two singles were released from the album: "War" and "Fire". Many consider the band's Darkness on the Edge of Town tour of the United States in 1978 to be its benchmark of live performances.
