The above lyrics are for the live 19 Jul 1988 performance of SWEET SOUL MUSIC at Radrennbahn Weissensee in East Berlin, East Germany, during the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour.
This show was partially broadcast on East German television and radio. Oddly, the concerts was announced by the promoters as a "Concert for Nicaragua" (see ticket stub below), which upset Springsteen and prompted him to give his infamous German-language speech prior to CHIMES OF FREEDOM about "not being here for or against any certain government, but to play rockand roll for [you] East Berliners... in the hope that one day, all barriers will be torn down."
Thanks Jake (ol'catfishinthelake at BTX and Greasy Lake) for the lyrics help.
