Bruce Springsteen: Into the Future
Wayne Robins, Newsday, 4 April 1988
THE "TUNNEL OF LOVE" tour is not rock-and-roll business as usual, or even Springsteen business as usual. This, after all, is a show that for its first few hours revolves around non-hits, B sides and dramatic revisions of familiar material. Say goodbye to 'Thunder Road'. Say hello to 'Be True', 'Seeds', 'Roulette', 'War', 'I'm A Coward' and 'Light of Day'.
