Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band - Live In Tempe 1980

Review by Adeline Chan

Live In Tempe 1980 by Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band is a must-have for any Springsteen fan. Recorded during the River Tour, this album captures the energy and raw power of Springsteen's live performances. The setlist includes classic hits like "Born to Run" and "Thunder Road," as well as deep cuts like "Cadillac Ranch" and "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)." The band's chemistry is palpable, with Clarence Clemons' saxophone solos and Max Weinberg's thunderous drumming driving the songs forward. Springsteen's storytelling is also on full display, with his introductions to songs like "The River" and "Independence Day" adding depth and emotion to the performances. Live In Tempe 1980 is a thrilling snapshot of one of rock's greatest live acts at the height of their powers.
