Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are returning to play the United Center on Sept. 20, but this time with a twist: They'll perform his 1975 album "Born To Run" in its entirety. Tickets ($98 and $65 plus service fees) go on sale at 11 a.m. Saturday through Ticketmaster. Springsteen headlined the venue last May as part of a world tour.

"Born To Run" is Springsteen's breakthrough album. Though it produced only one top-40 single (the iconic title song), many tracks have long been concert staples, including "Thunder Road," "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," "Backstreets," "She's the One" and "Jungleland."

Other performers who have played a classic album in concert in recent years or who are about to do it are Sonic Youth, Public Enemy, the Pixies, Judas Priest, Aerosmith, Genesis, Brian Wilson, Van Morrison and Steely Dan.
