This tour was announced near the end of a first-set radio broadcast during Springsteen's July 3, 1988, show in Stockholm, Sweden, after which Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom" was performed.

The performance of "Chimes of Freedom" on this EP peaked at number 16 on the Mainstream Rock charts in mid-late 1988.

The other tracks were also recorded on earlier American stops of Springsteen and the E Street Band's 1988 Tunnel of Love Express Tour, which also featured the Miami Horns.

"Be True" was originally released as a studio recording on a vinyl single as the B-side to "Fade Away" in 1980, and featured prominently as the second or third song of the shows.

Some later CD re-issues have restored it to full length, as well as the version released to iTunes All tracks are written by Bruce Springsteen, except where noted
