Bruce Springsteen - 1996-02-17 - Hamburg, Germany (SBD or Ex. Aud)

In November 1995, Bruce Springsteen released the album The Ghost of Tom Joad, his 11th studio album but just his 2nd acoustic one.  The disc took its titlr from a character in Steinback's Grapes of Wrath, Tom Joad, who faced the economic hardships of the Great Depression. In that vein, the disc is filled with tunes that reflect upon the struggles of the poor and the eroding middle class in the 1990s. Springsteen launched a solo acoustic tour in support of the disc, a dramtic change from his "full tilt boogie" concerts with the E-Street Band. This tour was darker, quiter and more introspective. This soundboard or excellent audience recording captures Bruce during the European leg of that run, in Germany of February 17, 1996, 36 years ao today.
