Show Notes
We The North: The Live Archive series makes its maiden crossing of the Canadian border for Springsteen's first-ever show in Toronto on the Born to Run tour. Braving a freezing cold Ontario night, Bruce and the E Street Band warm up the Seneca Field House and win over 3,000 Torontonians in the process. The 17-song setlist is packed with gifts including "Lost in the Flood," "Saint in the City," "Kitty's Back," "Jungleland" and a joyful stroll through "Pretty Flamingo." The encore features one of the earliest performances of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," a snappy "Detroit Medley" enlivened by "the whole goddamn band" and a devastating, solo-piano "For You."

"To think that alongside shows at the Roxy, London, Greenvale and Philly, that Toronto would be amongst them makes me so happy! Great sounding show, his first time in Toronto. I was looking forward to seeing this one released. Thanks so much Nugs, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

"Incredible show and the sound quality is superb. 18 minutes of Kitty’s Back does it for me…."

"Flood is my favorite Bruce song and this version is fantastic! I admittedly haven’t kept up over the years, but this is the era of the band that gives you that giant boost of energy whenever you need it. Great show. Thanks Nugs!"

"The vocals on Flood gave me chills. The emotion is fresh and real, his voice a little raspy. Wow! Had I been a polite Canadian at the start of the show, that would have just kicked me out of my seat. "
