30 years later
The River Tour was a concert tour featuring Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band that took place in 1980 and 1981, beginning concurrently with the release of Springsteen's album The River. The emotional tempor of the concerts was assessed differently depending upon the goer, with some having a party and others reporting that after a string of depressing songs they felt like slitting their wrists. Springsteen and the band pushed the limits nearly every night, with shows that went on for three to four hours.
During the tour John Lennon was murdered. But shows were scheduled and tickets sold in advance on December 9,Bruce announced
"It's a hard world that asks you to live with a lot of things that are unlivable", Springsteen said before starting that show, "And it's hard to come out here and play tonight, but there's nothing else to do"
