On November 22nd, 2005, Bruce Springsteen<\/a> wrapped up his seven-month Devils and Dust<\/em> tour with an unforgettable show at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey. Like every night of the tour, this was a solo show where he pivoted between acoustic guitar, piano and organ to deliver a set packed with new tunes, lesser-known songs from his deep catalog and very few hits. And with it being the last night, he went to extreme lengths to make it an unforgettable show by busting out obscurities that only his most devoted fans could possibly recognize. It\u2019s been a prized bootleg among Springsteen aficionados for the last fourteen years, but this month he finally released the entire show<\/a> as part of his ongoing Bruce Springsteen Archives<\/a> download series.<\/p>\n

The show opened with a cover of Link Wray\u2019s \u201cRumble\u201d as a tribute to the guitar legend who died earlier that month. He went on to play \u201cFire\u201d and \u201cMansion on the Hill\u201d for the first time on the tour, the latter as a duet with Patti Scialfa, along with \u201cBackstreets,\u201d \u201cAll That Heaven Will Allow\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s Hard to Be a Saint in the City.\u201d The most shocking moment came early on when he broke out \u201cZero and Blind Terry,\u201d an outtake from The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle<\/em> that hadn\u2019t been touched in concert since 1974 and hasn\u2019t been even attempted a single time since.<\/p>\n
