Springsteen VIII - 2014, tour, album, etc.

[martha]

Is it coming out on cd?

Rumours of another album late this year, and a tour in 2015

I'm not sure, Martha, I wouldn't think so, though. I'm sure you can get it digitally.

I was just amused by the return of sleezy old man Springsteen. Hadn't heard from him since Devil's and Dust.

 

[martha]

sleezy old man Springsteen.

Once I get my shit together and get my friend to put my music on a hard drive, I can start buying digital records again.

I am such a loser.

 

[bono_212]

You'll get it figured out one of these days

 

[bono_man2002]

"Coming Soon."

Any ideas?

Maybe a video? No idea.

 

[martha]

Maybe a West Coast tour?






No freakin' way.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

From that I'd guess a video... but a few new tour dates would be quite nice. Maybe, ya know, NYC/NJ.

I mean he can't possibly go an entire album release cycle without playing New York City and New Jersey, can he?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The rumor that he's playing the new Rock in Rio Vegas festival in 2015 brings a smile to my face though... That would be hard to turn down

Apparently when the pic was first posted, when you right clicked on it, it had the title "Hunter Poster" - which was then abruptly changed. Thus, I think this is the Hunter Of Invisible Game video.

 

[bono_man2002]

That would be disappointing, but sounds plausible.

Nice interview with Bob Ludwig on the forthcoming remasters.

Backstreets.com: Bob Ludwig on 'Bruce Springsteen: The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984'

While I'm glad we are finally getting remasters for the other early albums, I'll be very disappointed if there is no River box set as a result.

 

[iron yuppie]

Any talk of vinyl reissues of these early albums?

 

[phanan]

Yep, all of the remasters are being released on vinyl as well.

Ok, well I'm still gonna want a River box set, but...

these remasters sound fantastic. The first two albums in particular are flat-out amazing, and holy shit, we have bass on The River now.

I still have to listen to Nebraska and USA, and I'm guessing there won't be as huge of a difference for BTR and Darkness as they were already remastered previously, so I'll tackle those later. But for the other five albums, as well as nice original album artwork and a cool book, this is a great set. Also didn't hurt that I had birthday money from last month reserved for this box.

And more good news. Looks like the live releases are back up, with archival concerts to come. Sign me up for those when they arrive please.

 

[bono_212]

I'm trying to ignore that that box set exists, since there's no way I can get it right now. :-(

 

[IWasBored]

i want.

Bought the vinyl box set and it sounds incredible!!! Especially The River and Nebraska which were horrid on CD. Full high mid and low mixes with no tinny or flat sound at all! I just can't stop listening to it.

Also, the vinyl box comes with a download code for MP3 versions of all 7 albums. Last night I downloaded them to my iPod in lostless file and WoW! they sound brilliant through a pair of BOSE headphones. My hats off to the group that expertly remastered these 7 essential Springsteen albums.

There are more exclamation points in that post than I've used in my life.

 

[martha]

Bruce'll fuck you up, make you use extra punctuation.

Really???????????????????????????

 

[bono_212]

You've only used two exclamation points ever, prior to today?

I don't have record player yet, but this is reason enough to get one soon. Nebraska is one of my favorite albums too. The River is great too but I agree the CD sound weak.

There were 5 total in the post, so she's used 4.

 

[IWasBored]

Meant more along the lines of three after one sentence.q

 

[iron yuppie]

Is there anyplace to buy the individual vinyl reissues, as opposed to the entire box set? I'd really like the Nebraska one.

Spoiler

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[bono_212]

It's ok, cause you spaced the exclamation points out.

So Amazon has reissues of Wild, Greetings, The River, and Nebraska. Looks like they are a 2014 remaster.

Was this just a quiet release I missed, or were they originally part of a package and are just now available individually?

I had been looking for those individual reissues for a while, and the first time I saw them was on Record Store Day this past April. I don't know if they were RSD exclusives or what, but they're all over Chicago record stores now.
