Data describing the tours associated with concerts played by Bruce
Springsteen both solo and with numerous bands from the years 1973 to present day.
Note that concerts prior to 1973 and non-tour, e.g., practice shows,
promotion shows, have been removed. Furthermore some of the shows are
associated with more than one tour as such some of the entries from
concerts appear twice. Can be joined with setlists
or concerts using gig_key.
Format

- gig_key

- tour
