THE SOULFUL ROCK ‘N’ ROLL REVUE ON WHICH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BECOMES THE BOSS: THE WILD, THE INNOCENT & THE E STREET SHUFFLE TEEMS WITH DISCOVERY. Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's Renowned Mastering System: Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Expressive Clarity. Released only eight months after his exhilarating debut, Bruce Springsteen's The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle contains rousing dispatches from the boardwalk, the street, the beach, and the bedroom. It explodes with energy, dares to dream, teases with humor, crackles with tragedy, clings to hope, and overflows with discovery, youthfulness, and personality. It features an unforgettable cast of characters — corner boys, teenage hustlers, doomed lovers, jazz men, junk men, factory girls, fortune tellers, alley cats, pimps, escorts, and more — illuminated by vivid color, breathtaking detail, and poetic action.

On May 14, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour in Manchester, England. Highlights from that first night are now available digitally as the “Land of Hope & Dreams” EP – including the title track, “Long Walk Home,” “My City of Ruins” and the band’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “Chimes of Freedom.”

American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen's second studio album, "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle" was recorded with the E Street Band and features their popular set-closing single "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)". After it's initial release the record didn't gather much attention, however after Springsteen released his third album, Born To Run, and his popularity grew, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle was more appreciated by his fans.

30-song set. “Trapped” returns to the set. Two songs from 2020’s Letter To You: “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 “Because The Night,” “Dancing in the Dark,” and “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” are performed in tighter, shorter versions. “Thunder Road” is the main-set closer.

Bruce and the E Street Band's two-night stand at the Bercy in Paris is considered one of the best stops on the 2012 European tour and merits companion releases. July 4, 2012 includes special Fourth of July performances of "Sandy" and a solo-piano "Independence Day." Night two at the Bercy in Paris sees Bruce change up the setlist dramatically, offering 15 different songs to night one, including an outstanding run of six to start the show: "The Ties That Bind," "No Surrender," "Two Hearts," "Downbound Train," "Candy's Room" and "Something In The Night."

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.

We often cite the Reunion tour as a demarcation between the “classic” and “modern” Springsteen eras. Yet this April already marks 23 years since the start of the Reunion tour in Barcelona. Do the math, and the E Street Band’s return in 1999 is inching ever closer to being the midpoint of their overall career—a line to be reached in 2026, at which point it will have been 27 years from the start of Reunion; and Reunion itself was 27 years after the band formed in 1972. Time flies.

As measured by cultural impact and mass popularity, Bruce Springsteen’s 1984-85 World Tour was the apex. Considering its stunning scale, playing multi-night stadium stands, it’s easy to forget that 1984 was a rebirth of sorts, the start of a new era as much as a continuation of what came before it. On the biggest tour of his career, Springsteen was rebuilding the engine while the plane was flying.
