Action in the Streets: Bruce Springsteen Concert Vault Mined for Digital Album "The Live Series: Songs of the Road"

December 3, 2018 By Sam Stone 2 Comments

AVAILABLE NOW ON STREAMING SERVICES

In the last few months, Legacy Recordings has launched an extensive digital campaign with the aim of releasing Bruce Springsteen to the streaming age.  This May saw the digital debut of 17 rare singles and EPs, as well as the new compilation, Spare Parts, which collected highlights from those releases.  Now, Legacy has teamed up with Nugs.net on a new compilation, The Live Series:  Songs of the Road that celebrates The Boss's incendiary concert performances and his music's association with the open road.

As the name suggests, The Live Series: Songs of the Road is a themed compilation featuring songs related to roads, cars, and travel.  The 15 live performances are culled from Nugs.net's ongoing Live Archive series, which brings full concerts from Springsteen's live vaults to digital download and CD.  While these tracks have been available for download on Bruce's website, The Live Series:  Songs of the Road brings this material to mainstream digital download and streaming services for the first time.

With blazing versions of "Thunder Road" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and the hard-to-find "Action in the Streets" from his transitional 1977 upstate New York shows, a swinging 2006 take on "Open All Night" with the rootsy Seeger Sessions Band, the acoustic "Used Cars" from an intimate acoustic show from 1996, plus the arena rock god prowess of "Born To Run" from 1984 and the more recent impassioned performances of "Out in the Street" and "The E Street Shuffle," this collection brings together all the different sides of Bruce's live work, past and present.

You can find the new Bruce Springsteen collection, The Live Series:  Songs of the Road on streaming platforms now.  Check it out on Spotify below!

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.

    Will this become available on itunes? That way it would be possible to purchase it and put it on a disc.

    I'm surprised this was released with the tape fast-forwarding in "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out". A good chunk of the song is ruined.
