It's taken too long but finally Springsteen has decided to release a
substantial live recording in video format. His shoddily assembled live album
from earlier this year "Live In New York City" will be released as
a double DVD set on November 6.
While it won't contain an entire show from go to whoa, it at least looks like a substantial release, featuring 25 live tracks plus a 15-minute documentary
featurette. Let's hope they don't stuff up this one with strange sequencing,
dumb disc labelling and by deciding to add tracks after the last minute. I
haven't heard anything about an Australian release, no doubt we'll be left
waiting until some time next year. In other news,
Jewel will release her third
album
"This Way" on November 13. Her first effort was a mixed bag, her second
was very slick (but strangely addictive) and having seen her get quite raucous
in a live setting, I'll be interested to see what she comes up with this
time. Expect the usual peace-and-love-everybody lyrics.
