NEW ARCHIVE RELEASE: Tampa 2008
This was a show that we know would come down the pipeline and is now here. The first E Street Band show following the death of Phantom Dan Federici. After an emotional video tribute to start, the band kicked right into a fierce version of "Backstreets," to pay homage to Danny. There were obvious tributes to Danny throughout the show from "Sandy" to a emotional cover of "I'll Fly Away" to kick off the encores. This show and performance is no doubt a welcome addition to the archive series collection.

NEW ARCHIVE RELEASE: New York City 1988
The first Springsteen archive release of 2019 sends us down the Tunnel of Love. This marks Springsteen's third Tunnel of Love tour appearance in the archive series. However, there is an interesting tidbit with this release. Included with this show is the soundcheck recording of For Your Love. I believe this is the first official soundcheck recording that the Springsteen camp has released so that alone could be worth the price of admission for your collection. Quite the encore performance as well which includes the performance of Lonely Teardrops, which you can preview in the video below.

NEW ARCHIVE RELEASE: No Nukes 1979
Merry Christmas! To celebrate the holiday, Springsteen released a new archive release today with the release of the famous No Nukes benefit concert that took place in New York City. The Boss would be approached by Jackson Browne to see if he would join the Musicians for Safe Energy by performing these two shows. I highly recommend you visit our friends over at Backstreets.com for a complete report on the history of the event and how it came to be. This archive release does feature both nights in their entirety and the samples that I listened to sound fantastic. Springsteen also announced that $2 from every purchase will be donated to Musicians for Safe Energy. You can purchase the shows by clicking here.
