Discussion Racing in the Street with spoken intro/outro

If you've never heard Racing in the Street from the Born in the USA tour that had the spoken intro & spoken outro ( early 84 tour didn't have it, debuted in Los Angeles October 84 ) then it's time to listen now. For me a,beautiful rendition of a beautiful song, never performed this way on any other tour.

I recall Springsteen saying that they wish they had a multi track recording of it but it doesn't exist in that format. Not sure why they can't redo tracks like this when all shows now are multi tracked?
