As a whole,The Tunnel of Love tour generally won't find itself at the top of most fans tour lists generally landing only above the "other band" tour due to the lack of variety (yeah we're all spoiled).

As I've been working on a number of  alternate recorders, I have a new found respect for the tour. Though the core show varied little from night to night, as a stand alone show the setlist and flow are very satisfying. At a time when one relationship was crumbling and another one beginning, we are treated to some of Bruce's most beautiful songs (I for one have no issues with "One Step Up" being played at every show).

After a slightly ragged start to the tour, two months in we get an excellent five night stand in LA.
The opening night was a high energy affair with Bruce and band tightly focused.

Features the last "Detroit Medley" of the tour.
