The tour itself, yeah. But the Stones are my favourite band of all time and I've never seen them before so.

My 4 favourite bands are the Stones, Bruce, Muse and Arcade Fire. Doesn't get any better than this.

You must be in Heaven!

Will be interesting comparing your thoughts for Bruce and The Stones.

More than twice the price and at least an hour shorter? Think that says it all...
 
Oh boy.

The AMAZON BONUS LIMITED EDITION* version also includes a live DVD of Bruce and the E Street Band performing the entire "Born In The U.S.A." album in London, England, during the historic Wrecking Ball World Tour.

I love the cover artwork. The Magic font is back! :thumbsu:

So it's a bit of a mish-mash like Devils & Dust? Three covers, re-recorded 41 Shots and Tom Joad, and I assume the rest are outtakes from the last few albums?

Dying to know what the asterisks next to the song titles mean.

One of my favourite songs of Bruce. I'm not sure if its because I have a agricultural background or its the some of the hooks in the melody and the harmonica, but I want to hear him play this in Oz in 2014.

From the BITUSA outtake stuff I linked above.




From Blood Brothers doco were I got hooked straight away




My favourite live version from Stockholm in 1993

I was working on a record of some of our best unreleased material from the past decade when Tom Morello (sitting in for Steve during the Australian leg of our tour) suggested we ought to add “High Hopes” to our live set. I had cut “High Hopes,” a song by Tim Scott McConnell of the LA based Havalinas, in the 90′s. We worked it up in our Aussie rehearsals and Tom then proceeded to burn the house down with it. We re-cut it mid tour at Studios 301 in Sydney along with “Just Like Fire Would,” a song from one of my favorite early Australian punk bands, The Saints (check out “I’m Stranded”). Tom and his guitar became my muse, pushing the rest of this project to another level. Thanks for the inspiration Tom.


Some of these songs, “American Skin” and “Ghost of Tom Joad,” you’ll be familiar with from our live versions. I felt they were among the best of my writing and deserved a proper studio recording. ”The Wall” is something I’d played on stage a few times and remains very close to my heart. The title and idea were Joe Grushecky’s, then the song appeared after Patti and I made a visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. It was inspired by my memories of Walter Cichon. Walter was one of the great early Jersey Shore rockers, who along with his brother Ray (one of my early guitar mentors) led the ”Motifs”. The Motifs were a local rock band who were always a head above everybody else. Raw, sexy and rebellious, they were the heroes you aspired to be. But these were heroes you could touch, speak to, and go to with your musical inquiries. Cool, but always accessible, they were an inspiration to me, and many young working musicians in 1960′s central New Jersey. Though my character in “The Wall” is a Marine, Walter was actually in the Army, A Company, 3rd Battalion, 8th Infantry. He was the first person I ever stood in the presence of who was filled with the mystique of the true rock star. Walter went missing in action in Vietnam in March 1968. He still performs somewhat regularly in my mind, the way he stood, dressed, held the tambourine, the casual cool, the freeness. The man who by his attitude, his walk said “you can defy all this, all of what’s here, all of what you’ve been taught, taught to fear, to love and you’ll still be alright.” His was a terrible loss to us, his loved ones and the local music scene. I still miss him.

This is music I always felt needed to be released. From the gangsters of “Harry’s Place,” the ill-prepared roomies on “Frankie Fell In Love” (shades of Steve and I bumming together in our Asbury Park apartment) the travelers in the wasteland of “Hunter Of Invisible Game,” to the soldier and his visiting friend in “The Wall”, I felt they all deserved a home and a hearing.


Hope you enjoy it,
Bruce Springsteen

So it seems Down in the Hole, Heaven's Wall, Frankie Fell in Love, This is Your Sword, and Hunter of Invisible Game are all previously-unknown studio out-takes; this right?

Ron Aniello is producing again (same guy who did Wrecking Ball). And Brendan O'Brien (ugh) on Harry's Place, Down in the Hole, and Hunter of Invisible Game, meaning they're either from The Rising, Magic, or WOAD. Hopefully the former, because his production on the latter two leaves plenty to be desired.
 
Just listening to the new version of High Hopes, it's great Bruce has realised just how brilliant the live performances of the song on the Aussie tour were. I'd never heard (or heard of) the song before I heard it at Brisbane 1, but was blown away instantly. By the time I heard it at the Melbourne shows, it was a favourite in the set. I just belonged. So it's great we've now got a studio version of the 2013 incarnation. This new version isn't quite as powerful and dynamic as the live versions earlier in the year, but it blows his 1995 version out of the water (although it must be said they are completely different in arrangement). The horns in the refrain are the real match-winner here.

For comparison: (there's some lovely sax flourishes under the surface if you listen closely enough)


It's just a great song, 'nuff said.
