THE SONG:

"Atlantic City" is a song written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen.  The song first appeared on his 1982 album Nebraska.  “Atlantic City” was released as a single in several countries and charted in Canada at #49 but was not issued as a single in the USA.  Bruce released the song on the Nebraska album in September 1982, and since he didn’t tour for that album, he wouldn’t perform it live until almost two years later. When the Born in the USA Tour kicked off, “Atlantic City” featured prominently on the setlist from the very first show. Springsteen wrote in his Greatest Hits sleeve notes that he recorded "Atlantic City" in his bedroom "for $1,050 (the cost of the four-track Tascam recorder), mixed through an old Gibson guitar unit to a beat box". He provides the vocals, guitar, harmonica, and mandolin for the song.  “Atlantic City” was the first Springsteen song to be made into a music video (not counting live-performance clips).  Bruce does not appear in the video.
