The newest chapter in Bruce Springsteen<\/a>\u2019s monthly live archive series spotlights his December 29th, 1980 concert<\/a> at Long Island\u2019s Nassau Coliseum.  It\u2019s an epic show from The River<\/em> tour featuring a rare rendition of \u201cNight\u201d and a killer \u201cIncident on 57th Street\u201d (later released on the 1987 Live Collection<\/em> EP) that marked the last time he played it until the E Street Band reunion tour in 1999. You can hear \u201cBadlands\u201d from the show in the video above.<\/p>\n

The concert is the second of three shows at the Nassau Coliseum that month, which culminated two days later with a marathon New Years Eve show<\/a> many fans consider one of the best gigs of his career. But the 29th is nearly as memorable, with 12 songs from The River<\/em> and moving covers of Woody Guthrie\u2019s \u201cThis Land Is Your Land\u201d and Creedence Clearwater Revival\u2019s \u201cWho\u2019ll Stop The Rain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis song was originally written as an angry song,\u201d Springsteen said before performing \u201cThis Land Is Your Land.\u201d \u201cIt was an answer to Irving Berlin who\u2019d just wrote \u2018God Bless America.\u2019 It\u2019s just about one of the most beautiful songs ever written.\u201d<\/p>\n

Springsteen releases a new archival live album on the first Friday of every month. Recent releases have included the Meadowlands July 25th, 1992, MetLife Stadium September 22nd, 2012 and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum September 27th, 1985. They touch on most every era of his career, though as of yet they haven\u2019t released anything prior to 1975.<\/p>\n

Springsteen\u2019s newest album Western Stars<\/em><\/a> came out on June 14th, though it was a low-profile release: He didn\u2019t grant a single interview about the album and he hasn\u2019t played any of its songs live in any context. He hasn\u2019t spelled out his future plans in any detail, but he has said that he\u2019s written songs for a new E Street Band album they will likely promote with a tour<\/a> at some point in 2020.<\/p>\n
