Bruce Springsteen - 2003-02-19 - Somerville, MA (SBD)

On February 19 and 20, 2003, Bruce Springsteen and Patty Scialfa played two benefit concerts for the now-defunct DoubleTake magazine at the Somerville Theatre. DoubleTake was a magazine about the documentary film world and had stopped its operations due to financial problems. Backstreets.com noted: The 2 shows were  “Master Class”-style performances, in which Springsteen offered glimpses into his songwriting craft, explicating songs line-by-line, and even taking questions from the audience. Backstreets.co noted "While a stunning change of pace from the recent E Street Band shows, very few fans actually got to witness those performances (and only after paying big bucks) - and by the time the Q&A session bit the dust on the second night, one kinda had the feeling that it’d never happen again.” And they didn't.  So that what makes this soundboard recording from night one, on February 19, 2003, a dozen years ago today, a must have for any Springsteen fan!
