He had grown tired of the group\u2019s ritualistic sets by this point and experimented by adding in a horn section, moving members to different sides of the stage and reworking some standards, like \u201cBorn to Run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I wrote this song, I guess I thought I was writing a song about a guy and a girl that wanted to run and keep on running,\u201d he told the audience in Detroit before playing it without the rest of the band. \u201cBut as I sang it through the years, it seemed like its meaning changed as I began to be able to hear the meaning that I\u2019d put into it. I began to understand that it was about two people searching for something better, looking out into the world, embracing life, trying to learn how to live with the fact that there\u2019s so much beauty and so much sadness side by side. I realized that they were out there looking, looking for a home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the songs from <em>Tunnel of Love \u2014<\/em> besides the title track, \u201cTougher Than the Rest\u201d and \u201cBrilliant Disguise\u201d \u2014 have rarely been heard live since this tour. He played many of his classic albums on tour in 2009, but he never got around to this one.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/bruce-springsteen-walk-like-a-man-1988-963898\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Springsteen has selected a show recorded March 28th, 1988 at Detroit\u2019s Joe Louis Arena as the newest release from his ongoing live download series.
