Springsteen Unveils Segmented Concert Film, Teases Two New Albums

Bruce Springsteen discusses his Land of Hope and Dreams tour film, which is being released in segments on YouTube (the Philadelphia Freedom Cut starts with seven songs). He explains the show’s politically charged framing and how the set was crafted for immediacy. He reveals two new albums of fresh material are in the works, with one finished and expected to come out first, while the other could arrive later as a surprise. He hints at a future schedule of shorter tours rather than another lengthy E Street trek and notes his Broadway experience influenced his approach; he also plans a one-off DC appearance with Tom Morello.
