Show Notes
Originally released on DVD 23 years ago, Barcelona 2002 has not been available in any audio format until now. This new 2026 mix from the original multitrack master recordings supplants the DVD soundtrack to provide the best audio document to date of the Rising tour. The 24-song set includes ten songs from the album, the tour debut of "Spirit In The Night," a solo piano performance of "Incident On 57th Street," "Born In The U.S.A.," "Dancing In The Dark," "Night," "Ramrod" and "Land Of Hope And Dreams" before closing with "Thunder Road."

"This release is a dream come true. I’m 31 and when I was in second grade (and many years after) I would play this dvd on repeat and just study it and it shaped the musician I am today. Thank you for this! I will cherish this recording! "

"I bought this Barcelona concert on dvd when it came out here in the UK, and I am not gonna lie? I played it to death, I am solely a “boss” fan because of my dad and I was lucky to see this tour live in Manchester in 2003. I am a massive lover of live concerts and I have seen the likes of pearl jam, oasis, REM, Neil young & crazy horse, U2 all live but when people ask what the greatest concert I have ever seen ls? I ALWAYS mention the Springsteen concert at Manchester in June 2003. For a guy to walk on stage at 7.30pm with just a guitar to open up with born in the USA, then go walk off stage 3.5 hours is truly incredible…for those who have never seen the Boss live? I urge you to do so before he retires permanently, you will not be disappointed "

"This is fantastic! Crazy good sound quality. The band is a bit loose and absolutely bringing it. Feels like I’m at the show."

"Great to have this on official audio but we need more the rising shows. Maybe with the problems of the audio formats AI can help you guys fix it? We also need the 09 NJ shows "
