"One of the best performances featuring a great sound check” In Dreams “. Bruce has so much respect for Roy Orbison and it shows in this song and in Crying too. "

Will Blaik — 5/21/2023 11:58:22 AM

"This sounds incredible, lightning captured in a bottle. The band sizzle as The Boss takes us through a perfect, Tunnel of love era, show. Equal parts sensational, emotional and intense."
