Bruce Springsteen has launched a new website, Live.BruceSpringsteen.net, that offers authorized digital downloads and CDs of the Boss’ concert performances.
Among the shows that currently are available are a March 12, 2012, concert with The E Street Band at New York City’s famed Apollo Theater and all 30 dates from Bruce and company’s 2014 High Hopes Tour.
All 31 concerts can be purchased as multiple-CD sets and in a variety of digital formats, including MP3, high-resolution 24-bit and CD-Quality FLAC download.
The Apollo Theater show, which was mixed by Bob Clearmountain and mastered by Bob Ludwig, is the first in a series of archival recordings Springsteen is planning to sell at the site.
The High Hopes Tour recordings, which span from a January 26 show in Cape Town, South Africa, through a May 17 concert in Uncasville, Connecticut, were previously available as digital downloads via the Official Bruce Springsteen Store.
In other news, Springsteen’s The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984 box set hit stores Monday. The release, which is available on CD, vinyl and as a digital download, features remastered versions of the Boss’ first seven studio albums — 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle, 1975’s Born to Run, 1978’s Darkness on the Edge of Town, 1980’s The River, 1982’s Nebraska and 1984’s Born in the U.S.A.
