Bruce Springsteen offers ‘Highlights’ for charity
Fans will be able to get a taste of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s current live outing when “Magic Tour Highlights” hits digital download stores next week.
The set comprises four audio tracks and four videos, all recorded live during the band’s ongoing “Magic Tour.” Highlights include US performances with Alejandro Escovedo, Tom Morello and Roger McGuinn, as well as late E Street Band keyboardist Danny Federici’s final performance with the Boss and company.
Columbia Records will release the collection to digital download outlets July 15.
Further information will be available at Springsteen’s website that day.
The artists, songwriters and music publishers are waiving all of their royalties, and Columbia Records is donating all of its net profits to the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund, according to a press release. Apple’s iTunes Store is donating its first year’s net profits, as well.
Springsteen and the E Street Band, who are currently in the midst of a two-month European tour, will celebrate their homecoming with a late-July, three-night stand at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. They’ll wrap their ’07/’08 outing with a dozen US shows, the final of which is Harley-Davidson’s 105th anniversary party Aug. 30 in Milwaukee. By the time it’s all said and done, the group will have performed 100 concerts for more than two million fans, according to a press release.
The rockers’ next round of US dates are listed below and overseas shows can be found at Springsteen’s website.
The Boss’ 23rd album, “Magic,” surfaced last October, debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has since reached platinum status in the US and a host of other countries around the world. The lead single, “Radio Nowhere,” earned Springsteen and the E Street Band two Grammy Awards earlier this year.
