It will be available as an 18-track set across 2 LPs or 1 CD.

Here, these career-spanning works appear together in one set for the first time. The packaging includes archival photos and a new essay.
Never in rock & roll history has there been a production like Springsteen on Broadway.

Springsteen on Broadway turned out to be a runaway success, staying on Broadway through December 15, 2018 and commemorated with a Netflix special supported by this double-disc document of the show.
Though Springsteen’s 1992-93 World Tour ran a full calendar year, his first outing sans E Street Band carried the sense of a perpetual work in progress for good reason.

Beyond Darkness, the 26-song set opens on a high note with vintage barnstormer "Thundercrack," and features the only live version to date of Working On A Dream gem "What Love Can Do," plus "Sherry Darling," "Human Touch," "Long Walk Home" and a special "Gonna Fly Now" trumpet solo intro to "Rosalita.
