From Brucebase: This show is partially broadcast on East German television and radio - Out in the Street and Promised Land make TOL tour debuts - Born to Run is full band for the first time on the tour. Thanks to Mark for the corrections. The original broadcast footage was released on a factory-pressed DVD entitled “Behind The Wall” on the Bossvideo Ltd. label. Oddly, this show was announced by the promoters as a "Concert for Nicaragua" (see ticket stub), which upset Bruce and prompted him to give his infamous German-language speech prior to "Chimes Of Freedom" about "not being here for or against any certain government, but to play rock’n’roll for (you) East Berliners...in the hope that one day, all barriers will be torn down." A few minutes before the concert started, Bruce had the words translated and written down in phonetic spelling by his personal German driver, George Kerwinski, and the speech originally included the word "walls" instead of "barriers" – this was changed at the proverbial last minute because it was (rightly) considered too delicate by Jon Landau upon finding out what Springsteen wanted to tell the audience, so Kerwinski had to literally climb onstage during the show and tell Bruce to say "barrier". Bruce does his intro in german while the band playes the tune in the background. Of course, the entire speech was censored in the original East German television and radio broadcasts anyway, although it was shown on various TV news reports in West Germany.

Missing(according to BB): Adam Raised a Cain, All That Heaven Will Allow, The River, Cover Me, Brilliant Disguise, Spare Parts, War, Chimes of Freedom. Some drops, cuts, start/stops and do-overs. Not perfect but not much music is affected. Supposedly there is a full show floating around somewhere.


Enjoy, Ivan.
