…live.brucespringsteen.net released another classic show in its entirety: the famous New Year’s Eve concert at Nassau Coliseum, 1980. This marathon stood as his longest show for the next three decades – 38 songs in 3 hours, 48 minutes. (Many claim Springsteen used to perform 4-hour concerts all the time, but that mark wasn’t actually broken until Helsinki, 2012.) Arriving just six weeks after another New Year’s Eve show (Tower Theater, 1975), carefully mixed and mastered, this might be the first one from the vaults to be unanimously voted a must-have by fans.

On New Years Eve, I attended a party and ended up in the basement with thirteen year-olds. The cellar consensus was that the Beatles are the best pop/rock group ever; of course, this made the conversation more interesting than anything upstairs, and refuted the coincident media firestorm about how young people today (Kayne West fans in particular) have no idea who Paul McCartney might be. And so, for my new teenaged friends, my favorite Beatles tracks.
