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!)

Gisabun

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.

Martin Stockdale

Cheers Paul, many thanks

Alan Blevin

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.

Gisabun

Actually, I think I read somewhere that the full concert will be released in January in the original sequence.

Greg

This should have been included in the box set or at least be available to those who bought the set in hi-rez

Gisabun

Agree….

Paul Wren

Go on, Bruce, stick it out on vinyl.

Heinz

Thank you Paul, for this information!
