WE ARE THE WORLD

The recording of the African relief single and its associated video – with nearly every major-selling USA solo artist of that time present (Madonna and Prince being the often-noted absentees). Most of the artists arrived directly from the American Music Awards gala held nearby earlier in the evening (note: “Dancing In The Dark” won the Best Single award but Bruce didn’t attend the ceremony – he flew in from his previous night’s gig at the last moment). The session didn’t start until very late on the 28th so, technically speaking, most of the events took place in the early hours of Jan 29th. Bruce’s vocal performance is a standout. The recording and video were released on March 7, 1985.

I’M ON FIRE

Film shooting by Director John Sayles for Springsteen’s video single of “I’m On Fire”. This was an entirely conceptual video (no onscreen singing), with Bruce acting in the role of an auto mechanic. Filmed over 3 or 4 days starting in late February, with Springsteen’s parts completed on March 3rd.

Audience tape. A couple of references to "Saturday Night in Sydney" have people confused as to this show - at the end of Out in the Street" - However 21/3/85 was a Thursday Night. Also some people report that Saturday Night is mentioned at the end of Prove It All Night and also at the start of Growin' Up - but the latter track was not played on this night. This setlist is confirmed by a fan present at all 5 shows. A review of the tape reveals no references to "Saturday" at all - obviously people have been listening to one of the LP releases of this series of shows which were compilations of the 5 night stand, or had tracks on that were never played in Australia on this tour!. Show length is 3 hours 2 mins excluding intermission. Thanks to both Peter's for the info.

Thanks to Peter W for the ticket scan.

22/03/85 - ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

DOWN BY THE RIVER

To a deafening ovation Bruce casually strolls out and joins NEIL YOUNG onstage during the final encore in Neil's final show in Sydney. Bruce and Neil trade vocals and blistering guitar solos on an extended version of Young's 1969 song classic. Nils Lofgren also made a guest appearance earlier in this show, playing piano on "Tell Me Why" and accordian on "Comes A Time". Still rated by many as Bruce's most memorable walk-on guest appearance.

A very good quality audience recording of this entire show is in circulation via Neil Young fan sources. “Down By The River” is also found on various homemade Young CDR compilations.

The only BITUSA Tour show that is not circulating on audio and, as such, one that has seen a number of highly speculative setlists make the rounds. BRUCEBASE’s above-mentioned 28-song setlist (and sequencing) is culled from unearthed information in The Brisbane Courier Mail, The Australasian Weekly and the collective (but agreed upon) recollections of several actual Brisbane show attendees. Bruce opened this show with the comment “are you guys ready for a little rock and roll trip”? During “Thunder Road”, the final song of the first set, Bruce tried in vain to get the audience to sing some of the lines, prompting him to jokingly comment to the crowd “sounds like you didn’t get this one down here”. Near the end of the show Bruce, peering out at the rain soaked crowd, predicated a rare performance of “Who’ll Stop The Rain” with the comment – “we’re gonna play something especially for you guys on account of the meteorological conditions”.

A gig marred by poor decisions by both Bruce’s management team and the event promoter. This concert was originally scheduled for the 8,000-seat indoor Brisbane Chandler Velodrome. However tickets were on sale for only a few days when the venue was suddenly shifted outdoors (in a sub-tropical rainy season) to the expansive 50,000-seat QEII stadium. The concert eventually was a near sellout. However it rained heavily. To make matters worse the sound system was inadequate for the size of the venue and the stadium’s large video screen was out of synchronization with the audio. Unlike the Sydney shows, a no-alcohol policy was in place for the Brisbane show, a policy that many patrons were unaware of and which the Police strictly enforced - resulting in significant delays getting into the stadium. In addition to the alcohol issue the Brisbane Courier noted over 50 cameras and some 20 recording devices were confiscated from patrons entering the stadium. This probably explains why, even after 20 years, THERE IS NO KNOWN AUDIO FROM THIS SHOW. Thanks to Skipjack, we have a snippet of video from the TV news feed - Click Here to view

HUNGRY HEART / I’M ON FIRE / GLORY DAYS

With a month’s break in the BITUSA Tour, Bruce joins a small group of friends (including Julianne Phillips’ father and brother) for a proverbial boy’s night out in sleepy Lake Oswego the night before his midnight wedding. Bruce sings a number of songs, karaoke-style, to his own records in the jukebox! Note: some confusion remains about which of the town’s small number of watering holes this actually took place in.

14/05/85 - OSWEGO LAKE COUNTRY CLUB, LAKE OSWEGO, OR

Wedding Reception for Bruce and Julianne, delayed until the day after the church wedding in an attempt to outfox the media. Steve Van Zandt and Clarence (who were Bruce’s best men) definitely attended but it is still unclear how many other E Street Band members were present. There was a string quartet hired to play but Bruce (and others) did get up and sing a song or two. Following the reception the honeymooners spent a week or so at Lake Como in Italy, staying in a villa owned by designer Gianni Versace.

27/05/85 - MAXWELL’S, HOBOKEN, NJ

GLORY DAYS

Bruce & the entire E Street Band gather at this local nightclub (along with “guest stars” Little Steven and Bruce’s new bride Julianne) to film the video for “Glory Days”, with John Sayles directing. Preliminary filming took place on the 24th with Bruce and the band present on the 27th and 28th. Two or three different scripts were filmed in part, one of which featured the band performing “live” vocals off a backing track – although the one eventually chosen for release has the band merely lip-syncing the standard album/single recording. Neither the “live vocal” audio nor any of the outtake video seems to be in collector circulation.

Audience Tape. Springsteen’s first-ever concert in Ireland. The actual location was not Dublin but County Meath, about 30 miles north of the city. Held in the daytime in a picturesque outdoor amphitheatre setting – and the temperature was unseasonably hot! This was the largest crowd Bruce had played to up to this point, with 90,000 to 100,000 in attendance. This was also Bruce’s first full concert as a married man – consequently the crowd was treated to a special (and still never repeated) performance of the Beach Boys ‘rite-of-passage’ classic “When I Grow Up To Be A Man”. Thanks to Peter at Lost In The Flood for the info.

00/07/85 - SHAKEDOWN STUDIOS, NEW YORK, NY

SUN CITY

Springsteen records his vocal parts for the Little Steven written and co-produced song. Bruce’s cameo appearance on the “Sun City” music video, as well as various interview segments may also have been recorded during this brief break in BITUSA Tour, although this is unclear. Both the single, its video and a “Voices of Sun City” promo-only interview LP containing comments by Bruce were first released in early November 1985, with the commercial LP issued in early December. The Steve Lawrence-directed documentary “The Making Of Sun City”, which contains elements of all of the above plus some additional Springsteen interview footage, was released in early 1986.

30/07/85 - 129 MONMOUTH STREET, RED BANK, NJ

09/08/85 - SOLDIER FIELD, CHICAGO, ILL

Audience tape. Released on CD "A Night At The Soldierfield" (PBS) Also directly from Rick B's master recording, amazing sound quality. ("Warm Night In Chicago", Ev2)

Here's some extra info about this show: "This recording is absolutely sick and borderline ridiculous in terms quality for an audience. If you want to hear power captured via digital audio, this is the tape for you. Not sure we could do as well today for some reason and why is that? One trainspotter moment I have called out before from the show is beautifully captured on this tape in the first minute or so of "Born in the U.S.A." As some of you might know, for this tour Max Weinberg switched from miking his drums to using drum triggers to fatten the sound. The drum trigger hits a sampler which plays a commanding "whoomp" sound. When Bruce starts BITUSA in Chicago, Max comes in with those single snare beats, only someone forgot to turn on the drum sampler/triggers. So for the first few bars its like "tick," "tick," "tick" as we only here the miked drum, then someone throws the switch and it's "kaboom," "kaboom," "kaboom." The difference is incredible and you'll hear it here." -'Butterking'

11/08/85 - THREE RIVERS STADIUM, PITTSBURGH, PA

Audience tape. A bizarre beginning to this concert, as Nils and Roy are playing table tennis in a room adjacent to the dressing room and do not receive their cue that it’s time for the show to begin – resulting in a bemused Bruce starting the show and performing “Born In The USA” without them. Starting the following show Bruce takes a head count as the band takes the stage – a practice that continues to this very day.

Audience tape - Pro-shot video footage of the entire concert - apparently taped via the stadium’s sky box feed and marred by some serious interference - has been circulating among collectors for quite some time; eventually released (in slightly better picture quality than previous versions) on a factory-pressed DVD called "Live On The Born In The U.S.A. Tour" by the "Watchdog" label. Released On CD "Do You Love Me?" (CDF). A Brucebase reader present comments "That night, it was insanely hot in Philadelphia, during the day the temperature was well over 100 degrees. By show time it was around 90 degrees. Oh yeah, add in 100% humidity. (I am not exaggerating) Now, Veterans Stadium was a round stadium so the air did not circulate at all. So you can imagine how bad the heat was. To this day, when I watch a video of that show, I start sweating. Anyway, at some point in the encores I believe, Bruce yells out, "I need some air conditioning." Starting at the next tour stop at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, Bruce's road crew rigged cold air blowers from underneath the stage. This was the first time it was ever used. Thanks to Neal for the info.

Audience tape - Available from Mark Persic's master tape. As Bruce says during the show: "We´ll do some different stuff" - that's what they did, as setlist includes very rare '85 renditions of 'Highway Patrolman' (where Bruce forgets the words and starts again) and 'Used Cars'. A pretty amusing event also right before 'Used Cars' as Bruce has to tell Danny to get the accordion for the song. One of the best audience taped back-to-back show combinations as both (this and previous night's show) are in exceptional sound quality. ("The Best Of Absolutely Everything", Ev2).

Audience tape. “Cacillac Ranch” includes the “Land Of A 1000 Dances” chant in the intro. One of the main source concerts for the official “Live/1975-85” box set, which included a total of eight recordings (“Born In The U.S.A.”, “Darlington County”, “Seeds”, “The River”, “War” [with overdubbed Nils Lofgren guitar solo], “The Promised Land”, “My Hometown” and “Cover Me”) from this show. In addition, “My Hometown” and “War” were later released as video clips, and also included on the “Video Anthology” VHS/DVD. Available from Mark Persic's master recording. Audience recording suffers from some loud crowd noise every now and then but it's still an upgrade over any previous recording of this great show. ("The Promised Night", Ev2).
