"Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, from his 1975 album Born to Run.
As stated by Springsteen in the Wings for Wheels documentary, the idea for the composition of the horn intro was Steven Van Zandt's.
It opened the four-song set at Springsteen and the band's high-profile half-time appearance at Super Bowl XLIII, which included Springsteen pointing out that the verse about "the Big Man" joining the band was the important part of the song.
A slower version of this song was played during the Born to Run tours, on December 31, 1975, in Philadelphia.
On the High Hopes and River 2016 tours, Springsteen removed the pause from performances of the song, but kept the video tribute.
