A Little Bit of Heaven Here on Earth: The River

~ Release by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

The Nevinsrip Basement Tapes is back again with John Juergensens fantastic River Tour compilation.

Here are John’s comments: This month’s compilation is from The River Tour. This 6‐Disc compilation features a version of every song played on the tour in alphabetical order. The set list is below. Also, as we go further back in time, I want to note that the quality on some of these is noticeably diminishing. But, for you completists out there, this one has them all.

Intros are listed as separate tracks. And, I’ve included a couple extra “Cadillac Ranch”’s for good measure as well as a Prove It All Night with the long intro for you nostalgic types.
