Show Notes
Stockholm July 2, 1988 is a companion to the famous radio broadcast concert at the same venue 24 hours later (also released in the Live Archive series). This night one Stockholm warm-up delivers a looser, 30-song set teeming with Tunnel tour gems, including "Boom Boom, "Adam Raised A Cain," "Seeds," "Chimes Of Freedom," "Paradise By The 'C'," "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)," "I'm A Coward," "Light Of Day," "Sweet Soul Music and "Raise Your Hand," plus the storming coupling of "War" into "Born In The U.S.A." and a tour debut for "Cadillac Ranch." Read the full essay by Erik Flannigan.

"Bruce and the ESB … a night of sheer perfection! And this is only one of many. What a testament to a group of masters practicing their craft with an artistry that others seldom experience."

"Where are the shows closing Giants Stadium from Working On A Dream tour. Can't believe we haven't gotten them yet. Bring them on!!"

"Superb recording. Possibly the best ToL opener released so far. Incredible duelling guitars to open Light of Day."
J — 9/5/2026
"Little bit of a weaker release, especially due to the fact the radio broadcast show was a 10/10 show the next night. Hopefully a magic or pre 1988 show next month. "
Rob — 9/4/2026
"Great release. I like that Born to be Wild in Light of Day. "
