Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band Revives 'The River Tour'


LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band launch The River Tour, a nine-week US trek, starting on January 16th in Pittsburgh. The announcement of the tour coincides with their release of "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection," a comprehensive look at the era of the 1980 "The River" album that "Rolling Stone" calls "Springsteen's best archival release yet."

Springsteen precedes the tour with a December 19th performance on "Saturday Night Live," his third appearance on the NBC show.

The River Tour is the first for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band since their 2014 High Hopes Tour.

The original The River Tour began in October of 1980 and ran for just under a year. The band’s sets often approached the four-hour range, the 140-date international tour made it known that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are marathon performers.

"The Ties That Bind: The River Collection" includes 52 tracks on four CDs with a wealth of unreleased material and four hours of never-before-seen video on three DVDs. It contains the original "The River" double album; the first official release of "The River: Single Album"; a CD of 1979/80 studio outtakes; a brand-new documentary about "The River"; and a coffee-table book of 200 rare or previously unseen photos and memorabilia, with a new essay by Mikal Gilmore. The set also includes a two-DVD film of never-released, newly edited multi-camera footage from a Nov. 1980 show in Tempe, AZ, described by NPR as a "holy grail."
