Notes from info file:

I revisted one of my favorite compilations that I had put together about 5 years ago. I tweaked a couple of the songs and revamped the artwork. So, now I'd like to share this with anyone who is interested.

In 2002 through 2003, in between the Rising Tour, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band did a television tour of sorts. Compiled from various sources is a wonderful collection of those television performances and a fun interview from the David Letterman show. Among one of the most memorable performances was December 11, 2002 on the Conan O'Brien show, when they performed MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY and absolutely nailed KITTY'S BACK! TV history was made once again on February 23, 2003 at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards. Although Bruce Springsteen was robbed for "Album of the Year" and the few awards he did win were presented off the air, the true highlight of the evening was the tribute to Joe Strummer from the Clash. With the help of Elvis Costello, Little Steven, David Grohl and Tony Kanal, Bruce delivered the goods with a killer version of LONDON CALLING!

At the time, I created this collection for my own enjoyment. I based the front artwork design on the Clash's "LONDON CALLING" which was based on "ELVIS PRESLEY" the king's first album on RCA. So, this is for anyone who missed out. As far as I know this was the only time Bruce ever performed "London Calling."

The sound quality on all these songs are excellent! Enjoy! -- Rob
