Bruce Springsteen

2CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
4LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

Springsteen on Broadway captures songs and selected stories from The Boss' acclaimed, Tony Award-winning engagement on the Great White Way.  Mixed by Bob Clearmountain and mastered by Bob Ludwig, the album arrives one day before the closing show, and also just before it's broadcast in full on Netflix.  The streaming giant will premiere the production at 12:01 a.m. PT/3:01 a.m. ET on December 16.  The audio on the 2CD or 4LP set is taken directly from the audio of that broadcast, so this cast recording is also technically a soundtrack.  Springsteen on Broadway features his stripped-down, emotionally raw, and powerfully charged performances of such classic songs as "Growin' Up," "My Hometown," "Thunder Road," "Born in the U.S.A.," "The Ghost of Tom Joad," and "The Rising," as well as duets with his wife and bandmate Patti Scialfa on "Brilliant Disguise" and "Tougher Than the Rest."  Springsteen accompanies himself on piano and guitar.  Most of these tracks are prefaced by Springsteen's introductory stories as heard every night at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
