Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band 2023 02 05 Amway Center

Bruce Springsteen released a live archival recording of an E Street Band concert from C.W. Post College in Greenvale, New York on December 12, 1975.

Bruce Springsteen's campaign to issue classic concerts from his archives now has its fourth offering - he is released the New Year's Eve show from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y.

29-song set. Three songs from 2020’s Letter To You: “Ghosts,” “Last Man Standing,” and “I’ll See You in My Dreams”. “Last Man Standing” features a new arrangement. “I’ll See You In My Dreams” is performed solo acoustic to end the show. One song from 2022’s Only the Strong Survive: “Nightshift” (written by Franne Golde, Dennis Lambert and Walter Orange, popularized by The Commodores). Concert stalwarts like "Dancing in the Dark," “Because The Night,” and “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” are performed in tighter, shorter versions.

The 1981 European leg of the River tour is a seminal chapter in Springsteen's performing career, with the six-night stand at Wembley Arena its culmination. London 6/4/81 presents the brilliant fifth show of the run with key changes from the previously released final night including "The Ties That Bind," "Jackson Cage," "Racing in the Street" and "Backstreets," plus vital recent additions "Trapped" (played for only the fourth time), "Follow That Dream" and "Johnny Bye Bye." The 27-song set wraps with an epic, 15-minute "Detroit Medley" that takes a welcome Memphis detour.

Playing what was originally scheduled to be their final show of the tour, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band drop one of the best of 1978 at The Fox. No full recording of Atlanta 10/1/78, audience or otherwise, has ever been available. Newly mixed from Plangent Processed, multitrack masters, 10/1/78 is a previously unheard Darkness tour masterwork, from the show-opening cover of the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time" through the encore closer "Quarter To Three." In between, we're treated to "Heartbreak Hotel," "It's My Life," "Meeting Across The River," "For You," "Because The Night," "Point Blank," "Kitty's Back" and "Incident On 57th Street" across this go-out-with-a-bang, 24-song set.
