In this NBTB Springsteen Archive Series Review, co-hosts Hal Schwartz and Flynn McLean discuss the October 2026 release from the series, which was recorded in Barcelona on October 16, 2002. Yes, it's a show from The Rising Tour, only the second one in the 12 year history of the archive series, and it's taken from a half inch digital multitrack tape captured by Springsteen producer Brendan O'Brien. Most importantly, it's the first show to be released from 2002 when the tour was most focused on the songs from The Rising and as Hal and Flynn discuss, that makes this an essential release.
