\n\tFor those keeping track of the Bruce Springsteen<\/a> musical-historical complex, 2025 has brought one box set of shelved material<\/a>, a feature film<\/a> about the making of Nebraska, a reunion<\/a> with past and present E Street Band members at a Born to Run symposium in New Jersey, and two books on the making of Born to Run. And the deluge isn\u2019t over yet. Today brought the first preview of the upcoming Nebraska box and a new interview in which Springsteen says a third volume of his Tracks box of unreleased songs may arrive in a few years\u2019 time \u2014 and he\u2019s not done with touring, either.<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst retro-Nebraska things first: Earlier this month, tied to the imminent release of the quasi-biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Springsteen announced the release of Nebraska \u201982: Expanded Edition<\/a>. The set expands the original 1982 album to include a disc of outtakes (like early versions of \u201cBorn in the U.S.A.\u201d and \u201cDownbound Train\u201d), the long-rumored \u201celectric Nebraska<\/a>\u201d sessions, and a Blu-Ray and audio recording of Springsteen\u2019s first-ever live performance of the entire Nebraska album.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTaped early this year at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey, that show featured Springsteen accompanied by Larry Campbell (on guitar and mandolin) and Charlie Giordano (on celeste and synthesizer) and was filmed by director Thom Zimny. \u201cWhat I was concerned about was getting some of the spooky quality the record had,\u201d Springsteen said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re lucky we got the great Larry Campbell and Charlie Giordano to assist in the very minimal instrumentation on the record.\u201d One of the concert\u2019s songs, a live solo take on \u201cOpen All Night,\u201d was released today.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, 50 years after he made the cover of Time (the same week its competitor Newsweek did the same), Springsteen has returned to the front <\/a>of that August magazine. Recalling that dual-covers moment in his career, Springsteen tells Time, \u201cIt\u2019s making you very, very different than all the people you grew up with.\u201d Springsteen also talks about the times he spoke up against Donald Trump<\/a> onstage in Europe this summer: \u201cIf I\u2019m going to stay true to who I\u2019ve tried to be, I can\u2019t give these guys a free pass.\u201d He doesn\u2019t give Democrats a free ride, either, telling Time, \u201cThere is a problem with the language that they\u2019re using and the way they\u2019re trying to reach people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the interview, Springsteen laughed when reminded that Trump called him \u201chighly overrated\u201d after his summer tour comments. But Springsteen had more serious thoughts on the current, divisive president: \u201cA lot of people bought into his lies,\u201d Springsteen tells Time. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t care about the forgotten anybody but himself and the multibillionaires who stood behind him on Inauguration Day.\u201d On an even more somber note, he says, \u201cYou have to face the fact that a good number of Americans are simply comfortable with his politics of power and dominance. \u2026 He\u2019s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he\u2019d be consigned to the trash heap of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the same interview, Springsteen replied, \u201cOf course!\u201d when asked if he would tour with the E Street Band again and indicated that solo shows are also a possibility. He also told the publication that, in several years\u2019 time, he would roll out a Tracks 3 box, containing even more unreleased material from his vaults. One song in it, he says, will likely be what Time called \u201chis famously slow, hypnotic\u201d version of Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cI Want You.\u201d Original Dylan, meet New Dylan \u2014 at some point, anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For those keeping track of the Bruce Springsteen musical-historical complex, 2025 has brought one box set of shelved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[16755,12,88,216],"class_list":{"0":"post-182706","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-bruce-springsteen","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
