Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than The Rest - Live - Solo Piano

The other takes/versions online don't cut it. This genuinely has the best audio mix you'll find anywhere. Search for hours, but you'll not find better, and it's the closest to a studio version in quality (bearing in mind it's live in a huge venue). Apologies for the visuals (lack of) I didn't think that was the issue here. Just wanted to share what I understand to be the FIRST ever time the song was played this way. It's a scrappy, horrible-looking video, no doubt about that, but the sound really is the best you'll find on this arrangement. It's rare... but it's all there.

anyone know where this is from?

@1979RED1 - I believe it's 17th November 1990 - Los Angeles CA - Shrine Auditorium. It'd be the first time he ever gave the song a live try like this (solo w/piano). So, yeah, earliest version this way... as far as I know. There're a few versions floating around that you'll hear, but I managed to get this as the clearest cut. Best version. Vocal nice and close. Obviously from the soundboard.

I can't listen to this without crying! My fiance both love Bruce and his music has been a big part of our relationship..so much so, we've decided to have this song as I enter the church..we can't find a better or more beautiful song. Thank you!

I was at the Shrine when he did this. I remember it like it was yesterday.

The one DIS-LIKE must be the harlot or the anti-christ...who want to make the beast together.

Hey the BRIDE...GETS IT!

I also got on this video as View Number 45,190 like Isaiah 45:19.

@JesusHarveyChrist a big THANK YOU!!!

i think i might like this version better than the record, but the verion on chimes of freedom might still by my favorite...i think bruce should do an all piano album of new stuff...

Not exactly a HUGE venue-- it is indeed the Shrine Auditorium 11-17-90... 6700 seats at the time of this show. But indeed, it is absolutely the finest version ever of this song-- the similar SOLO Piano versions of 2005 did not quite hit this plateau.
