Chimes of Freedom is the name of a 1988 live Bruce Springsteen EP. It was released to support the multi-artist Human Rights Now! Tour in benefit of Amnesty International. This tour was announced near the end of a first set radio broadcast during Springsteen's July 3, 1988 show in Stockholm, Sweden, after which Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom" was performed.
The other tracks were also recorded on earlier American stops of Springsteen and the E Street Band's 1988 Tunnel of Love Express Tour that also featured The Miami Horns. Most notable is the slowed-down acoustic rendition of "Born to Run", one of several shocks to fans on that tour. "Be True" was a B-side from 1980 that was exhumed and prominently featured as the second or third song of the shows.
In the original release, "Chimes of Freedom" was edited for length; some later CD re-releases have restored it to full length.
