Got it! Will send a 3CD set (audience recording) with the whole full-show to someone in Belfast

I bought it as a 3CD set, it comes from the original recording so it is a second generation 3CD set

This is a sample (MP3 @ 320 kbps) http://www.rocksoff.org/01-CD1-BruceInMexico2012.mp3

If you like it let me know and I'll send the 3CD set to you, other option is to upload it somewhere, the whole show with art is 418 MB but will be a CD-Copy (from CD to blank CD directly without any conversion to Flac or MP3)

Bruce Springsteen’s Super-Sized Set Lists Are Testing Steven Van Zandt’s Stand In

Perhaps they should have called this the Curve Ball tour. Tom Morello, filling in for Steven Van Zandt during the E Street Band’s ongoing concerts through Australia, says Bruce Springsteen tinkers with the setlist until the absolute last moment.

That’s made for some of the most diverse, deep cut-filled performances of Springsteen’s storied live career, as fans have thrilled to rarely heard tracks like “Be True,” “High Hopes” and “Bishop Danced,” along with new songs from the well-received 2012 effort ‘Wrecking Ball.’

But their guest guitarist certainly has had to stay on his toes.

“Every night, 90 minutes ’til soundcheck, Bruce will text me with seven or eight songs we’ve never played before,” the Rage Against the Machine guitarist tells Rolling Stone. “And then during the show, he’ll call up songs we’ve never even discussed – some I’ve never even heard!

Morello appeared on two tracks from ‘Wrecking Ball’ before taking over while Van Zandt films his television show ‘Lilyhammer.’ Morello says he started out by learning 50 Springsteen songs over three months, but even that hasn’t been enough.

Not that he’s complaining.

“It’s been great,” Morello adds. “It’s been really an honor being onstage with one of my favorite bands – one of the greatest live bands of all time. I’ve been to a lot of Bruce Springsteen shows, but I’ve never been to four consecutive ones. And every show isn’t just a different show – it’s a completely different experience.”

Van Zandt has been with the E Street Band since 1975, leaving once before between 1984-95 for a solo career. He’s set to rejoin Springsteen and Co. for the European leg of this tour, beginning on April 29 in Oslo.

Sounds like a very successful Aussie tour with Morello filling in ably for Steve van Zandt.

Two songs from the first night at Hanging Rock, which must be one of the most beautiful locations for any gig anywhere :

Can't wait to see that. Of course I'd like it better if I could see his Bruceness in person. But I'll have to live vicariously through Gazza (and Meg) as he sees his shows.

32. This little light of mine.

He played it again at the end.

Amazing show. I clocked it at 3 and a half hours plus the pre show. We were six rows from the front.

One of the best four or five gigs I've ever been to. Delighted for Meg that after coming all that way she got a truly exceptional show

Nice amazing set lists, and Spirit in the Night -  the guitarist has one hell of a job playing songs he never heard of! How can he do it?

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/galleries/entertainment/bruce-springsteen-turn...

Yet another amazing setlist. I really think you're going to get a full River album show tonight..................Get your Leeds lungs out Gazza!

Don't let him fool you.  If he can come up with a ticket, he will be at one of the Kilkenny Shows.   He has no will power...

I would have loved to hear "Secret Garden",  but I am happy enough with the three shows I saw.  Limerick- I would rate probably the best show I've ever seen.  The only ones that come even close to these 3 shows are the two Boston shows I saw with Nelly.  How this almost 64 year old man can keep raising the bar is jaw dropping!

So...any thoughts on High Hopes? Picked up the record today. Didn't notice it was The Big Man's birthday until Gazza told me on FB.

I'm quite happy with the stuff I've been hearing (though I only listened to it twice and I need to get to know an album). Not so sure about The Ghost Of Tom Joad with heavy guitars though. IMO the Original was spot on and was in touch with Steinbeck's masterpiece. But maybe it's just something that needs getting used to.

BTW I got a limited edition with Born In The USA performed live in London. Should be fun.

I'm very happy with High Hopes. After giving it several spins, I'd say 4 out of 5 stars. There's a pleasant warmth glowing off this one. I understand it's composed from a bunch of leftovers, but it doesn't sound like a bunch of loose songs and is larger than the sum of it's parts.

Now I'm curious if he attaches another US/European tour with this. I really like to hear these songs live.

Anyone know if the special edition BITUSA dvd pack is only offered via Amazon?
