🎸 Bruce Spring­steen Unveils Nebras­ka ’82: Expand­ed Edi­tion

Bruce Spring­steen is giv­ing fans a long-await­ed deep dive into his 1982 clas­sic with the five-disc Nebras­ka ’82: Expand­ed Edi­tion, drop­ping Oct. 17—perfectly timed ahead of the new the­atri­cal film Deliv­er Me From Nowhere on Oct. 24, which dra­ma­tizes the mak­ing of the icon­ic album.

Here’s what makes this release his­toric:

Elec­tric Nebras­ka Disc:

The cen­ter­piece for many fans is the eight-song “Elec­tric Nebras­ka” disc. While it doesn’t cov­er the entire album, it fea­tures E Street Band ver­sions of six clas­sic tracks, plus two 1982 recordings—“Born in the U.S.A.” and “Down­bound Train”—which were lat­er re-record­ed for the 1984 block­buster album. Spring­steen explained the trio-for­mat record­ing with Max Wein­berg and Gar­ry Tal­lent as “punk rock­a­bil­ly,” an attempt to bring Nebras­ka into the elec­tric world.

Acoustic Out­takes:

The set also includes eight pre­vi­ous­ly unre­leased acoustic tracks from the solo Nebras­ka ses­sions, like “On the Prowl,” “Gun in Every Home,” and “Child Bride.” Some were lat­er record­ed with the band, while oth­ers appear on an album for the first time.

Full-Album Per­for­mance Film:

A new­ly filmed per­for­mance at New Jersey’s Count Basie The­atre, direct­ed by Thom Zim­ny, cap­tures Nebras­ka in its entire­ty for the first time. Includ­ed on Blu-Ray in the vinyl and CD box sets, the per­for­mance impressed Spring­steen: “There’s just some­thing about that batch of songs on Nebras­ka that holds some sort of magic.”Remastered Orig­i­nal Album:

The col­lec­tion also fea­tures a 2025 remas­ter of the orig­i­nal Nebras­ka, giv­ing lis­ten­ers the defin­i­tive ver­sion of this stripped-down clas­sic.

The Back­sto­ry:

For decades, fans debat­ed whether a full-band “Elec­tric Nebras­ka” exist­ed. In June 2025, Spring­steen ini­tial­ly said it didn’t—but a lat­er text revealed, “There IS an elec­tric Nebras­ka record though it does not have the full album of songs.” Band mem­bers recall record­ing eight of the ten tracks in 1981, minus State Troop­er and My Father’s House.

Phys­i­cal Ver­sions:

Avail­able in four-LP and four-CD con­fig­u­ra­tions, both includ­ing the Blu-Ray of the Count Basie per­for­mance, this set is a must-have for col­lec­tors and fans alike—finally open­ing the vault on one of Springsteen’s most leg­endary eras.
