Here’s some fantastic news from Vinyl Vintage News:
Rolling Stone talked with Bruce Springsteen’s manager, Jon Landau, to find out what the Boss does after two years on the road.
First up is a deluxe box set of the 1977 album Darkness on the Edge of Town. Much like the Born to Run box from 2005, the Darkness box will include a remastered version of the album, a documentary on the making of the LP and live footage from the 1978 tour that supported the album.
“The Darkness box set is 93 percent done. It’s absolutely fantastic and there are just some finishing touches that we need to turn our attention to and finalize and we’ll get it out there.”
Also up for next year is a DVD of the Working on a Dream Tour. This will be a bit tough as this tour has moved in so many different directions including the requests portion of the shows and, of course, the complete performances of many of Springsteen’s classic albums.
“We’re working on some different approaches to a DVD for this tour. We’ll release it sometime fairly soon, post-Christmas.”
Don’t look for any new material from Springsteen or the band next year. They are all looking for some downtime after almost two straight years on the road.

Ugh. Paste’s profile of Free Energy made me kind of hate them. So does your review. It’s this unctuous defense of good-time rock-and-roll ("we’re just here to party, and we’re awesome!") that seems more self-serving than fun-loving.

that inescapable feeling you are referring to, is that like when you hear something and you could have sworn you heard it before because of the nostalgic catchy quality? or is is like when you’ve heard a band exactly like said band?
great post by the way!

no prob. The whole album is excellent, combining some of the harder sonics of Los Angeles with the meat of his debut and obviously difficult to summarize in only 50 words… 
I’d say it’s on par with the debut, but better than Los Angeles.

My copy of the new Springsteen book arrived, and I can confirm it is an ESSENTIAL keepsake for anyone who cares not only about Bruce in 1978, but also gaining insight into perhaps the single greatest rock and roll tour of all time. The layout, photos and vignettes are amazing, including a surprising memory involving Adele and Douglas Springsteen.You’ll want The Light in Darkness for Xmas 2009.
