  1. Full gig won’t be released as a full length audio – the video was sorted out for the box set and the extra 10 audio tracks were done separately as a last minute bonus. Cannot see they’d bother trying to match up the audio for an extra release (though it’d be nice!)

    1. Well, aside from the missing tracks in the Tempe video release, the concert as part of BtR was later released on CD and this was prior to the live download site being up. I can see at least the full concert released digitally.

  2. Glad they did this but there goes our chance of getting a full CD release of the whole Tempe show which had been mooted.Given that nearly all of what they didn’t film were ballads it should make this a very different atmospheric Springsteen live album.
