S4L's Day in The River! #4: The River Live

Songs from The River Album (and songs associated with the Album) have featured in live sets by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (and his solo work) and this post will have a look at the statistics since 1980 to ascertain what are the most played songs in Live Performance. There's links for either live audio or concert performance for all the songs so don't forget to click on the links!

To begin with though, he's only ever done it once, and it's probably unlikely he'll ever do it again, a full performance of The River album in sequence in New York back in 2009 stands as one of the best performances ever by Bruce and the band.
