Bruce Springsteen's archival concert release for March takes us back to November 15th, 2012 at the Centurylink Center in Omaha, Nebraska during his Wrecking Ball tour.
That night he did four tour premieres, including three off his Nebraska albums -- "Reason to Believe," "State Trooper," and the E Street’s Band’s first performance of “Highway Patrolman” since 1985.
He also did three other songs off Nebraska -- "Johnny 99," "Atlantic City" and "Open All Night" -- but ironically he didn't do the title track.
You can find "State Trooper" off this live album -- Bruce E Street Omaha, NE Nov 15, 2012 -- on YouTube.

Nebraska is the subject of the film Deliver Me From Nowhere, which is based on Warren Zanes‘ book Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. It's scheduled to be released this year.
The movie will star Jeremy Allen White from 'The Bear' as Bruce Springsteen.
IN OTHER BRUCE NEWS.....
Bruce Springsteen was not a fan of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s cover of “Blinded by the Light,” despite its success. In a new interview with “Guitar Magazine,” guitarist Chris Thompson recalled a dinner with Springsteen in Zurich in the late 1970s where he cautiously asked for the Boss’s opinion. Springsteen dodged the question by asking about Thompson’s other band, Night, and then said, “I like that song,” referring to their hit “Hot Summer Nights.” Thompson says that now he knows just how much Bruce wasn’t a fan. “I’ve since found out that he hated it. Yeah, he really disliked it,” he shares. So what was Bruce's problem? As Thompson shares it, the Boss wasn’t fond of the fact the band changed up some of the lyrics in their version.
