With a new album set for 6/14, as well as a rumored E Street Band record and tour to follow, there is no better time than now to serve this baby up. I don't recall where or how I acquired all of this, but what we have here is the work of an anonymous overseas philanthropist who found the time to track down every song played on the 2006 "Bruce Springsteen Seeger Sessions Band" and sequence them all into a remarkable 5 disc set. It is not chronological, and from what I can tell, does not follow any specific set list. It was clearly made with love from a number of sources and venues.
ENJOY!

Thank you, Sir!!!!
Thanks for these, Sal. You just made my weekend!
Thanks Sal.
I've been think about these songs since your earlier post.
I'm always interested (even when I don't "Get It") when artists mine their traditional influences / the great American Songbook / ...
Not just Bruce but Dylan, Willie, Nillson, Brian Wilson, .... These folks have something on their mind that would not have been apparent to me. I guess that's the definition of genius.
Thank you for listening to my TED Talk ... now to dig into these SSBs!
Do we really need five discs of ....never mind, just kidding!
I promise to listen to all of this, hoping to be converted (and allowed out of solitary).
Good weekend, all.
I am much looking forward to this. I'm not the BS fanboy that many at this blog are, but I've liked what I heard off the SSB release, love 'Hello Sunshine', and have tons of BS demos from what I consider his ripe period circa Nebraska/BITUSA; typing this out makes me realize that what I like in BS is his rawer, more rootsy stuff, as most of those demos are not gussied up much. My favorite BS song is 'Shut Out The Light', but then again 'Candy's Room' -- all taught tension and explosive release -- is next on that list. The early albums, and much in the years since his commercial heyday, are too grandiose/self-conscious for my tastes (and of course the grandiosity was pumped up in the commercial heyday period, but somehow it worked for me). So, yes, this will be a treat for me to hear.

Very much looking forward to this! Thanks, Sal! Have a good weekend.
Is this a Flynn McLean compilation? If so, I may already have this in a box in the basement. He painstakingly and meticulously curated compilations from many of the tours (ESB, solo, SSB) into multi-disc sets that had a 'flow' or theme to them and played like a continuous concert. They were like full boxed sets from each tour. If that is what this is, it is no doubt very well done.
Great way to spend the weekend. Thank you very much for passing this along, Sal!
This looks boss!! Thanks Sal
