Bruce Springsteen Releases Live Album of Asbury Park’s Sea.Hear.Now. Festival, Just Days After Concert

Barely a week after Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band delivered an already legendary live set beside the Atlantic Ocean on a gorgeous night in Asbury Park, New Jersey at the Sea.Hear.Now Festival, the Boss has released the concert as a live album, available on CD and streaming via the live music platform Nugs.net. Springsteen has released many concerts on the platform over the years, but possibly none quite so quickly.

Of course, the concert was a major homecoming for the Boss, who grew up and still lives just a few miles from Asbury Park, has played there countless times over his career and famously named his debut album “Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey.” The September 15 concert was bound to be legendary and Springsteen and the E Street Band played a special 30-song set, featuring hits like “Born to Run” and “Dancing in the Dark” but also such rarely played early songs as “Blinded by the Light,” “Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?”, “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy),” and others.


The concert also has a fitting yet bittersweet moment when Springsteen’s wife, Patti Scialfa, joined him for their familiar duet of “Tougher Than the Rest,” but with an added poignance due to her recent announcement that she’s been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and will mostly retire from touring.

Springsteen and the E Street Band are on tour into next year, but the Asbury Park show was surely one for the ages. The full tracklist appears below.
