Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's 2024 performance at the Sea.Hear.Now festival is being released on April 18 as a 5LP/3CD set for Record Store Day. This concert was a significant homecoming for Springsteen, as he played rarities like "Blinded By the Light" and "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" – songs he wrote when Asbury Park was a struggling town.
Springsteen described the show as one of the top five he has ever done, expressing deep emotion about performing in the revitalized town where he once played in its desolate state. The release coincides with other notable Record Store Day offerings from artists such as Neil Young and The Doors.
Looking ahead, Springsteen has a political solo album planned for release this year, though details on touring remain uncertain. He previously indicated a shift away from extensive tours, favoring more frequent, shorter engagements with his audience.
