\n\tBruce Springsteen<\/a> and the E Street Band\u2019s headlining set at the 2024 Sea.Hear.Now festival<\/a> will be released as a 5LP\/3CD set for Record Store Day<\/a> on April 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThe concert was a nostalgic homecoming for Springsteen, who put aside his standard set list for the evening and trotted out rarities like \u201cBlinded By the Light, \u201cThundercrack,\u201d \u201cDoes This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?,\u201d and \u201c4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)\u201d that he wrote when he was still playing clubs around a dilapidated Asbury Park in the early 1970s. But at this show, he was in front of 35,000 fans on the beach of the restored town.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI put that in one of the top five or three shows we\u2019ve ever done,\u201d Springsteen told Rolling Stone<\/em> in 2025. <\/a>\u201cThat\u2019s how special it was for me anyway. And partly because I was in that town when there was no one there, when it was a ghost town. I mean, Asbury Park was a complete and utter ghost town for 30 years, and me and the guys were there. So to be there for its rebirth and when it came back to life, and to see that happen on that beach in front of us on a beautiful September night was one of the loveliest performing experiences of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
