Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - 1988-04-28 LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, CA (2021) [Hi-Res]

The Tunnel of Love Express Tour's five-show station stop in Los Angeles wraps with this peak '88 performance on April 28. The core Tunnel setlist, including "Be True," "Brilliant Disguise," "Tougher Than The Rest," "I'm A Coward" and "Part Man, Part Monkey," has never sounded better. An irresistible encore features Arthur Conley's "Sweet Soul Music" and a deserving homage to Northwest garage rock, as Bruce covers The Sonics' "Have Love, Will Travel." Rarer still and even more meaningful is the seminal cover of Ry Cooder's majestic masterpiece, "Across The Borderline," the sound of which echoes through Springsteen's writing ever since.
