There is only one 30 that matters today. That is the 30 years old Bruce Springsteen toured on the night the legendary No Nukes concert was performed at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Springsteen turned 30 on 23 September 1979. The two No Nukes shows took place on 21 and 22 September 1979. Bruce had released his fourth album ‘Darkness On The Edge of Town’ a year earlier and ‘Born To Run’ four years earlier. ‘The River’ was still a year away so fans that night were treated to the unreleased at the time ‘The River’ and ‘Sherry Darling’ in the setlist. ‘Born In The USA’ was still five years away.
The No Nukes concerts were organised by Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Bonnie Raitt and John Hall. Across various nights the event also featured James Taylor, The Doobie Brothers and Carly Simon.
The original No Nukes album was released in June, 1980.
