Archive of material from Bruce Springsteen's iconic 1984–85 Born in the U.S.A. Tour, originating from the collection of Bruce Jackson (1949-2011), Springsteen’s concert sound engineer from 1978 to 1988. The archive includes Jackson's "Born in the U.S.A. Tour" all-access laminate, a "Bruce Springsteen + E Street Band, Summer '85" laminated meal ticket, a Thrill Hill Productions laminated luggage tag, and spiral-bound itineraries—containing schedules and hotel, travel, and venue information—for several consecutive legs of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour, including: September '84, October–November '84 (2), December '84, January '85 (2), March–April '85, and August–October '85, plus a separate booklet for their time in Sweden in early June 1985. Additionally includes an official, oversized full-color tour program. In overall fine condition, with various wear and annotations to the tour itineraries from use. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Recordmecca's Jeff Gold, certifying that he obtained the collection from Bruce Jackson's widow.
Bruce Jackson worked closely with Springsteen on the Darkness, The River, Born in the USA, Tunnel of Love Express and Bruce Springsteen 1992-1993 tours, as well as mixing sound for Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, and many other major artists (such as Johnny Cash, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, the Jackson Five, and Michael Jackson).
Springsteen wrote the foreword for 'On The Road With Elvis,' a book about Jackson’s work with Elvis Presley. In it he described spending countless hours with Jackson in an effort to ensure his audiences got 'the best sound possible.' Springsteen's essay concludes: 'But at the end of the day he was just a good friend. He was a lovely friend of mine.'
