Authorized bootlegs of a number of Bruce Springsteen concerts are available through an online store. The launch features 30+ recent concerts and includes a complete live rendition of the Born To Run album performed in New Zealand. While some of the recordings have been previously available, the new site expands the format option to include CDs. Fans eager to get high quality recordings of earlier tours will have to wait. Brad Serling, the guy that manages the release of the recordings, says, '...what I've found with any actively touring artist, big or small, is that recent always trumps older in the artist's mind. There's an afterglow of big moments in the near-rear-view mirror that are more meaningful to them than the glories of the distant past.' He promises there will eventually be shows from as far back as 1973 added to the mix. Could the hard-core fan favorite Union College Chapel (Schenectady, NY) concert make it? 'Nothing's off the table', according to Serling - and that includes fan recordings.
